Healthcare companies and legal organizations must protect the sensitive information they process to comply with HIPAA data privacy and security regulations. Many of these businesses search for HIPAA-compliant cloud hosting solutions from providers such as Atlantic.Net, Liquid Web, and other companies. Both companies are recognized as reputable cloud hosting providers. However, many teams favor Atlantic.Net for its lengthy experience in the business, flexibility, and willingness to tailor support to meet customer requirements.

This post examines why Atlantic.Net is becoming a preferred HIPAA hosting option for a wide range of customers, especially mobile phlebotomists, dental practices, and legal SaaS applications. We offer services and support to address the needs of clients just starting with HIPAA cloud hosting, as well as those who are unsatisfied with their current provider.

Atlantic.Net HIPAA Hosting Framework is Built for Compliance

We have over 30 years of experience and a proven track record of providing HIPAA-compliant hosting solutions to our customers. Our technical, compliance, and administrative teams have the experience and skills to deliver a cloud hosting platform that supports HIPAA compliance for businesses of all sizes. Your company will enjoy the following benefits by partnering with Atlantic.Net for HIPAA hosting.

Fully audited and compliant infrastructure

Atlantic.Net offers customized Windows and Linux HIPAA hosting plans to meet the needs of businesses ranging from small healthcare companies to enterprise legal teams. Our infrastructure is SOC 2 and SOC 3 certified and HIPAA/HITECH audited by an independent third-party CPA firm that validates our operational controls and compliance services. This audited environment is designed to help keep your data secure and support your efforts to achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance.

Customizable Business Associate Agreements

Hosting providers are considered business associates (BAs) of the covered entities and business associates that engage their services. HIPAA rules require customers to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with their provider to define the BA’s responsibilities in maintaining compliance. We enter into customizable BAAs with our customers that align with their business requirements and the level of responsibility each party assumes in safeguarding protected health information (PHI).

Managed Services That Simplify IT for Healthcare and Legal Teams

Many healthcare and legal small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have limited technical teams and may lack the skills to efficiently and securely manage their IT environments. Companies risk financial penalties for HIPAA noncompliance when infrastructure and security controls are poorly managed. Our managed services let you focus on running your business while we help ensure the health, security, and performance of your hosted Windows and Linux environments.

HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility: we provide and manage the audited infrastructure, security controls, and supporting documentation, while your team maintains compliant application configurations, access controls, and internal policies.
The features provided in our managed services solutions include:

  • Automated patching to address security vulnerabilities and performance upgrades.
  • Secure backups to protect data in line with HIPAA guidelines.
  • Real-time monitoring and intrusion detection to help ensure performance and security.

Our expert support teams have healthcare-specific experience and are available 24/7 to resolve your issues. Smaller healthcare companies and those with growing SaaS platforms can benefit from a managed services solution that allows them to concentrate on core business activities while we support the underlying hosting environment.

Transparent Pricing and Modular Options

Atlantic.Net transparent pricing and modular options are structured to appeal to healthcare and legal SMBs looking to maximize value and control IT costs. We deliver hosting that provides the features you need now and as your business grows, with understandable pricing plans and no hidden fees.

Customizable bundled services

Healthcare and legal companies may have very different needs in a HIPAA-compliant hosting solution. Providers with a one-size-fits-all approach cannot effectively serve the diverse customer base that requires HIPAA hosting. We offer clients customizable hosting that ensures they are not paying for services or options they do not need. Services that can be included or excluded to meet customer requirements include:

  • A fully managed firewall.
  • On-site and/or off-site backups.
  • Intrusion detection.
  • Bi-weekly (every two weeks) vulnerability scans.
  • Multi-factor authentication.
  • Network edge protection.

Clear and predictable billing

The monthly costs of our hosted platforms are determined by multiple variables, such as the specific security services or server configuration chosen by a customer. Our hosting solutions are delivered with transparent pricing plans and predictable billing, making it easier for your company to budget for IT services. Your organization controls costs by choosing only the options needed to support HIPAA compliance.

Scale as your business grows

Our services are designed to scale easily as your business grows, ensuring you have the resources required to maintain performance and customer satisfaction. The flexibility of our HIPAA hosting enables small companies to utilize a right-sized environment, conserving financial resources. We can scale resources as the business expands, so you only pay for what you need.

Real-World Use Cases for Atlantic.Net HIPAA-Compliant Hosting

  • Mobile phlebotomy services: We worked with mobile phlebotomy providers that needed secure access to EHR and scheduling systems from patient homes, clinics, and remote sites, delivering encrypted connectivity and low-latency access across our US regions.
  • Healthcare marketing agencies: We host sensitive, HIPAA-regulated campaign data for numerous clients that requires fast server speeds for analytics while maintaining PHI security and privacy.
  • Legal SaaS platforms: We provide legal organizations with secure hosting, including data encryption and isolation, to help ensure client confidentiality and support HIPAA compliance when they process PHI.

Why Organizations Are Switching to Atlantic.Net

Organizations are increasingly migrating to Atlantic.Net to escape the limitations of rigid hosting providers. Backed by 31 years of industry experience, we understand that effective HIPAA compliant hosting requires adaptability.

While some other providers offer inflexible terms and outdated infrastructure, Atlantic.Net attracts customers by offering a partnership model built on freedom and modernization:

  • Flexible Business Associate Agreements (BAAs): We do not force you into a “take-it-or-leave-it” contract. Unlike providers with rigid terms that fail to align with client needs, we work with you to customize a BAA that fits your organization’s specific risk profile and business requirements.
  • Flexible Bundles & Competitive Pricing: We eliminate the burden of rigid service bundles that force you to pay for resources you don’t need. Our solutions are fully customizable and competitively priced, ensuring you only pay for the services that drive value for your business.
  • Access to Modern Technologies: To prevent the competitive disadvantage of hosting on outdated operating systems, we provide a modern environment ready for advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring your technical capabilities can grow alongside your business.
