Tag HIPAA in Amazon Quicksight

While Amazon Quicksight doesn't provide built-in HIPAA tagging for Protected Health Information (PHI), several workarounds can help you achieve HIPAA compliance. One approach involves utilizing AWS tag-based rules. By creating tags to identify PHI data sources and dashboards, you can link them to IAM policies that restrict access only to authorized users. This adds an extra layer of security but requires manual tagging.

For a more automated solution, consider third-party tools like Secoda. These integrate with Quicksight to automatically scan datasets and identify PHI based on pre-defined rules. Secoda then assigns HIPAA tags, streamlining your compliance workflow and reducing the risk of human error in manual tagging. This approach ensures consistent and accurate identification of PHI throughout your analytics process.

Secoda provides a seamless integration with Amazon Quicksight, allowing you to tag HIPAA through the platform. An Automation consists of Triggers and Actions. Triggers initiate the workflow, and you can set schedules for them, such as hourly, daily, or custom intervals. Actions encompass various operations like filtering and updating metadata. You can stack multiple actions to create customized workflows that meet your team's requirements. Secoda enables you to perform bulk updates to metadata in Amazon Quicksight, streamlining the process efficiently.
