Tag HIPAA in Metabase

While Metabase doesn't offer native HIPAA tagging, you can create a custom field (text or tag) within your tables specifically to flag Protected Health Information (PHI). This custom tag enables you to filter data views and set granular user access controls based on PHI presence. However, HIPAA compliance extends far beyond data tagging. Metabase provides features like access controls and encryption to bolster data security, but the onus falls on your organization to establish a comprehensive HIPAA compliance strategy. This strategy should encompass not only data management within Metabase, but also robust policies around data access, user training, and incident response protocols.

Secoda integration with Metabase allows for the tagging of HIPAA through a structured automation process. The automation consists of triggers and actions. Triggers activate the workflow based on defined schedules, such as hourly, daily, or custom intervals. Actions encompass various operations, such as filtering and updating metadata. These actions can be stacked to create customized workflows that meet the specific needs of your team. With Secoda, you can efficiently perform bulk updates to metadata in Metabase.

Secoda, an AI data governance platform, offers a comprehensive integration with Metabase. It acts as an index for your company's data knowledge, consolidating data catalog, lineage, documentation, and monitoring into a single data management platform. By tagging HIPAA through Secoda, you can ensure compliance and enhance data governance within your organization.
