Cloud convenience, compliance risk
Managed ETL tools process ePHI on vendor infrastructure. That means BAAs, security questionnaires, and a data boundary you do not control.
HEALTHCARE & LIFE SCIENCES
Airbyte Enterprise Flex runs the data plane inside your VPC. 700+ connectors, HIPAA conduit architecture, and zero data transit to vendor servers.

The challenge
Managed ETL tools process ePHI on vendor infrastructure. That means BAAs, security questionnaires, and a data boundary you do not control.
Running open-source connectors on-prem gives you control, but your team owns uptime, upgrades, and connector maintenance.
EHR, lab, billing, and wearable data sit in separate systems. Stitching them into a patient 360 view takes months, and the result is fragile.
Flex solves the tradeoff between convenience and control.
Sovereignty
A BAA is a promise. Airbyte Enterprise Flex is a boundary. Your data plane runs in your VPC, the control plane manages orchestration, and patient data never touches our servers.
No inbound firewall rules. The data plane initiates all communication.
Bring your own KMS. Airbyte never holds the keys to your patient data.
Pipeline executions, schema changes, and access events stream to your security tooling.
Deploy isolated data planes across regions for multi-state systems or global pharma trials.
Use cases
Connect HL7 FHIR APIs, EHR systems, lab platforms, and 700+ other sources with the data plane inside your network, so ePHI never transits to a vendor.
Deploy region-specific data planes for multi-site trials so data stays in-jurisdiction, with immutable audit logs that support GxP validation.
Unify bed occupancy, staffing, supply chain, and revenue cycle data into one real-time picture, with capacity-based pricing that scales predictably.
AI agents
Airbyte gives agents structured fetch and write access to systems, along with semantic search that is superior to keyword search, with the Context Store. Deployable in your warehouse of choice.

Compliance
| Regulation | What it requires | How Airbyte Enterprise Flex addresses it |
|---|---|---|
| HIPAA | ePHI protected in transit and at rest; BAAs required | Data plane in your VPC. Conduit exception: ePHI never touches Airbyte infrastructure. |
| HITRUST | Demonstrated security controls | SOC 2 Type II. Audit logs to your SIEM. Customer-managed encryption keys. |
| GxP / FDA 21 CFR Part 11 | Attributable, contemporaneous, original records | Immutable audit logging. Deterministic pipelines. Version-controlled configurations. |
| GDPR | Lawful processing with data minimization | Regional data planes enforce residency. Column-level PII hashing. |
| State privacy (CCPA, etc.) | Varying state-level data protection | Multi-region deployment. Data stays where it is generated. |
Airbyte has been moving production data for thousands of companies since 2020. The same open source standard powering 2M data pipelines now supports AI agents.
