Compliance Hosting Solutions

Compliance hosting is managed hosting that adheres to specific industry regulations and standards ‐ HIPAA, HITECH, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, and similar frameworks ‐ to ensure the security and privacy of sensitive data. The hosting provider documents and implements controls (physical, environmental, technical, administrative) that customers can cite in their own audits, reducing the time and cost of achieving compliance.

HIPAA / HITECH (with BAA), PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 Type II, GDPR (with DPA), and NIST 800-53-aligned controls. The infrastructure is independently audited and certified annually. The on-page comparison table maps each framework to industry coverage, what Atlantic.Net provides, and the customer-facing document available.

HIPAA / HITECH compliance hosting is a hosting environment whose infrastructure, controls, and operating practices are designed to safeguard electronic protected health information (ePHI). Atlantic.Net's hosting infrastructure is independently audited under HIPAA AT-C 105 / 205 and a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for customers handling ePHI.

PCI DSS compliance hosting is a hosting environment that meets the security requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS 4.0 in the current revision). The standard governs how organizations handle credit-card data. Atlantic.Net offers PCI DSS-aligned hosting and provides a PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC) on request.

SOC 2 and SOC 3 are AICPA reports on a service organization's controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 is detailed and shared under NDA with customers and their auditors; SOC 3 is a public-facing summary. Atlantic.Net is audited annually for both SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 Type II.

GDPR compliance hosting is a hosting environment that supports the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). It includes data-processing safeguards, audit-friendly controls, and the ability to support data-subject rights such as access and deletion. Atlantic.Net provides a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and GDPR-ready infrastructure across product lines.

Yes. Atlantic.Net signs a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with customers handling protected health information (ePHI). The BAA details Atlantic.Net's contractual obligations to safeguard PHI as required under HIPAA. Contact the Atlantic.Net Sales Department to obtain a copy.

No. HIPAA compliance is determined by the covered entity's overall adherence to the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules ‐ including administrative, physical, and technical safeguards in your application and operations, not just the hosting layer. HIPAA-compliant hosting covers one important aspect (the infrastructure your application runs on) and gives you a documented, audited foundation, but the customer still owns the rest of the compliance perimeter.

Compliance alignment runs across the product line: Cloud Hosting on the Atlantic.Net Cloud Platform, Dedicated Server Hosting, Bare Metal Hosting, GPU Cloud Hosting, Managed Private Cloud, and HIPAA-Compliant WordPress Hosting are all delivered from the same audited infrastructure. Add-on managed services (firewall, IPS, MFA, Trend Micro Deep Security, Veeam backup) are part of the same compliance scope.

Pricing depends on the underlying hosting product (cloud, dedicated, bare metal, GPU) and the bundled managed services. Compliance attestations such as the BAA and PCI AoC are not separate line-item charges. Contact the Atlantic.Net sales team for a quote tailored to your environment and compliance scope.
