New Kinvey BaaS v5 Console Moves from Opt-in to Opt-out

3rd Party HIPAA Assessment Successfully Completed

We have some great news for you on the compliance front! Kinvey BaaS has successfully completed our latest independent third-party assessment of our HIPAA compliant app cloud (now available as part of Progress Health Cloud). NuHarbor Security conducted an Independent Security Controls Assessment of the Technical and Administrative controls included within the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 Security Rule. The scope of this assessment included the entire Kinvey Backend as a Service platform as well as all applicable processes and procedures. Kinvey conformed with every HIPAA citation that was applicable and in scope for the analysis.

Live Service Early Access Program

Kinvey Live Service will soon be available for Early Access. This service enables two powerful new features: (1) Your applications will be able to automatically receive updates to data collections in real-time as they happen; (2) Real-time streams enable live messaging and communication between application users. As always, this feature comes with all the things Kinvey is differentiated on: self service, performance at scale, security, compliance, and tracking. If you are interested in trying out this new capability, please contact us and we will let you know when it is available.
