AWS Parallel Computing Service is now HIPAA eligible

AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS) is now HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) eligible. AWS PCS is a managed service that helps you build and manage High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters using the Slurm workload manager.

With the AWS PCS HIPAA certification, organizations with a Business Associate Addendum (BAA) can now use AWS PCS for compute-intensive healthcare workloads such as genomic sequencing, medical imaging analysis, and clinical research simulations. AWS maintains a standards-based risk management program to ensure that HIPAA-eligible services specifically support HIPAA administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.

AWS PCS is HIPAA compliant in all of the AWS Regions where AWS PCS is available. See the AWS Regional Services List for the most up-to-date availability information. To learn more about HIPAA eligible services, visit the webpage. To get started with AWS PCS, visit the product page to learn more.
