Ask HN: How do companies that use Cursor handle compliance?

4•Poomba•1h ago
I'm trying to decide whether to adopt Cursor for our company, but we're in a heavily regulated industry and our compliance team is flagging concerns about HIPAA/SOC2/audit trails.

The thing is, there are companies in regulated industries using it [1][2]. But Cursor has no HIPAA BAA, no FedRAMP certification, and is cloud-only with all requests routing through their AWS infrastructure. (This is probably true for Claude and other coding assistants, though I've only looked seriously at Cursor.)

So how are regulated companies actually making this work? Or do most just avoid Cursor and other AI coding tools altogether?

[1] 165 healthcare companies use Cursor according to Bloomberry: https://bloomberry.com/data/cursor/

[2] Cursor's customers include Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, and Neuralink: https://cursor.com/customers

Copilot can be used in these situations, that's what most of our devs use. I suspect Claude Code is going to be evaluated in the near future. Personally, I have permission from the CTO to hook my custom agent up to the GCloud Vertex APIs because we know it all stays in Google, which is compliant across their portfolio. Microslop is too, which is why Copilot is available. All the frontier models are available as well between both Google and Microsoft, I have no need for OpenAI or xAI, so VertexAI has everything I personally want.
