My medical organization wants to use Rocket.chat to group chat and DM each other in and out of the clinic. We currently have it restricted to the LAN for HIPPA compliance. Would any communications outside of the LAN using rocket chat be HIPPA compliant? If not does Rocket.chat have a way of doing so?
You need to learn about hipaa to get your answer. You won’t get an answer here.
Step one is to spell it correctly 
Thanks for pointing my spelling error out @bbrendon ! I guess my question was to hard for you to understand. What I would like to know does Rocket.chat have any default encryption or ability to enable such a thing for messages.
