Frequently asked questions

How does Couchdrop help healthcare organizations maintain HIPAA compliance?
Couchdrop is HIPAA-ready with dedicated healthcare infrastructure, built-in audit trails, and Business Associate Agreements to help your organization stay HIPAA compliant. Our zero-storage architecture and end-to-end encryption ensure ePHI remains secure throughout all transfers.
Can Couchdrop connect our EHR and cloud storage with external healthcare partners and vendors?
Yes, Couchdrop can connect to any EHR system that has network connectivity and supports FTP/S or SFTP connections and enable transfers between those systems and any supported storage platform.
Does Couchdrop store HIPAA files on its servers?
No, Couchdrop does not store HIPAA files on its servers, as files are transferred directly between connected platforms.

All Couchdrop accounts include a connected hosted storage folder by default, but this can be erased to ensure no files are ever stored by Couchdrop, even by user error.
What makes Couchdrop different from traditional MFT solutions for healthcare?
Unlike legacy MFT platforms that require dedicated servers and complex configurations, Couchdrop is cloud-native and deploys instantly without infrastructure. This means patches and updates are delivered automatically with no downtime and minimal risk.
