Hi @Lauren7

Asana is not specific to the medical field and as such we do not have clearly identifiable HIPAA compliance standards, but we keep any data entered into Asana secure. Your data is not encrypted on the servers (for performance reasons), but we do encrypt over the wire via SSL. Security is something we take very seriously. Please take a look at this information:

> **[Asana | Trust Center](https://security.asana.com/)**
>
> See how Asana manages their security program.

> **[Terms & Policies • Asana](https://asana.com/terms#privacy-statement)**
>
> Asana is the easiest way for teams to track their work. From tasks and projects to conversations and dashboards, Asana enables teams to move work from start to finish—and get great results.

One workaround we can offer is the use of our integration with Box, which is HIPAA compliant. The link to our Box integration below:

> This section of the Asana Guide tells you how to add comments and attachments to tasks and explains how to use connected work links.

Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
