    Hi,

    I have an instance in Amazon EC2 and need to be Hipaa compliant. I have few doubts,

    1. Should I need to do a block level encryption of the database storage ?

    2. Should I need to encrypt sensitive data before storing in the database ?

    3. Best database software to handle with the encryption and Big Data ?

    Any help will be highly appreciable,

    Thank You.

    HIPAA compliance is less technical rules and more accessibility rules. It's privacy of data and identification as to whom you are vs. what others may need to know.

    You're starting too deep. What you need to do is talk to legal with your manager and find out what they need and if there are any holes in your current environment. Then you decide what to do with it. HIPAA is too intricate a topic to ask for forum help from a bunch of semi-anonymous people about.
