BAA-backed path
Approved healthcare customers can onboard under a Business Associate Agreement after workflow and data-path review.
HIPAA translation software
HIPAA-compliant translation starts with the workflow
Vavus AI offers HIPAA-aligned translation workflows for approved healthcare customers: BAA-backed onboarding, healthcare account controls, zero PHI in application logs by design, audit retention, and deployment options for strict data boundaries.
Fast evaluator answer
- BAA
- Available for approved healthcare customers after workflow review.
- PHI in logs
- Application logs are designed not to contain PHI; audit logs are metadata-only.
- Deployment
- Managed cloud, dedicated Google Cloud deployment path, or fully on-premises depending on customer requirements.
- Retention
- Audit logs retained for 6 years for healthcare and compliance review.

Why it matters
HIPAA-compliant translation starts before the translation.
Healthcare teams need to know whether the vendor will sign a BAA, where PHI flows, what gets logged, how long audit events are retained, how deletion works, and whether the workflow can run inside their own environment.
PHI logging boundary
Application logs are designed not to contain PHI. Audit logs retain metadata-only events such as user, action, time, and device.
Controlled deployments
Managed cloud, dedicated Google Cloud deployment path, and fully on-premises deployments support different risk, residency, and procurement requirements.
Workflow
A HIPAA-ready translation workflow has four parts
Software alone does not make an organization HIPAA compliant. Vavus AI gives healthcare buyers a controlled translation path that can be reviewed against their own policies and obligations.
1. Sign and scope the BAA
Confirm the covered workflow, customer responsibilities, permitted PHI use, retention expectations, and support path.
2. Choose the data path
Decide whether the managed cloud, dedicated Google Cloud deployment path, or on-premises deployment is appropriate for the risk level.
3. Enable healthcare controls
Healthcare accounts use shorter sessions, idle timeout, audit logging, secure deletion expectations, and PHI logging boundaries.
4. Review and operate
Run approved workflows, review audit logs, keep staff policy in place, and escalate high-risk language events when human review is required.

What Vavus AI does and does not claim
HIPAA compliance depends on the covered entity, the vendor agreement, the workflow, staff behavior, and technical controls. Vavus AI provides HIPAA-aligned controls and BAA-backed onboarding for approved healthcare use cases; it does not make casual unreviewed PHI handling safe by itself.
- A signed BAA is required before approved PHI workflows.
- Healthcare accounts use 8-hour token expiry and 15-minute idle timeout.
- Audit logs are retained for 6 years and avoid PHI content.
- Secure deletion expectations apply to approved PHI assets.
- On-premises deployment is available when PHI cannot leave your network.

Questions
Direct answers for evaluators.
Is Vavus AI a HIPAA compliant translation app?+
Vavus AI offers HIPAA-aligned workflows for approved healthcare customers backed by a Business Associate Agreement after review. Healthcare controls include 8-hour token expiry, 15-minute idle timeout, zero PHI in application logs by design, secure deletion expectations for PHI assets, and 6-year audit retention.
Can software make my organization HIPAA compliant by itself?+
No. HIPAA compliance depends on the covered entity, the vendor contract, configuration, policies, staff behavior, and the exact workflow. Vavus AI provides a BAA-backed controlled path for approved translation workflows, but healthcare teams still need their own compliance review.
Does Vavus AI sign a BAA for translation workflows?+
Yes, for approved healthcare customers after workflow and data-path review. The BAA path is intended for healthcare use cases where PHI may be processed under reviewed controls.
Does Vavus AI put PHI in logs?+
Application logs are designed not to contain PHI. Healthcare audit logs retain metadata-only events such as who did what, when, and from which device, and are retained for 6 years to support compliance review.
Can HIPAA translation run on-premises?+
Yes. Vavus AI can be deployed fully on-premises for healthcare and regulated buyers so speech-to-text, translation, and text-to-speech run inside the customer perimeter with no outbound network calls.
What should a healthcare team ask before using AI translation?+
Ask whether the vendor signs a BAA, where PHI flows, whether PHI appears in logs, how audit records are retained, how deletion works, which language pairs are supported, and when human interpreters or clinical review are required.
