What Is HIPAA-Compliant Hosting?
HIPAA-compliant hosting is a web hosting solution that meets and exceeds the required administrative safeguards, physical safeguards, and technical safeguards mandated by the HIPAA regulations of 1996 (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Managed service providers, HIPAA-covered entities like healthcare providers, and relevant third parties are bound by HIPAA regulations to protect and uphold patient data integrity. The web, database, or storage solution could either be cloud-based or run on a dedicated server with the necessary security features. A service provider offering HIPAA-compliant Linux or Windows hosting must sign a Business Associates Agreement.

HIPAA-Compliant Hosting Requirements Checklist
Implementing HIPAA compliance can be complicated and requires a clear understanding or compliance and technology. HIPAA compliance hosting involves integrating cloud server hosting solutions with security and managed services to achieve HIPAA compliance.
The end solution must include a a Business Associates Agreement.
HIPAA Hosting Requirements
Atlantic.Net's HIPAA Hosting meets all of the requirements of HIPAA compliance in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule.
Here are the nine elements which we provide as a part of our HIPAA Hosting offering:
Need Help?
Firewall
A fully implemented firewall in your server environment is a must to meet HIPAA server requirements. Atlantic.Net's servers combine perimeter and server-side firewalls with solutions specifically designed to protect against security threats. Most importantly, we deploy, maintain, and manage the firewalls.
Encrypted VPN
Your virtual private network (VPN) must have strong encryption mechanism. Atlantic.Net's ensures that your VPN is encrypted to meet the HIPAA requirements and safeguards.
Onsite and Offsite Backups
HIPAA requires that you back up data locally and externally (onsite and offsite). Local onsite backups ensure quick recovery times if something goes wrong, while the offsite backups can significantly help after a catastrophic failure. On and offsite backups from Atlantic.Net can help you meet this need.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication involves the verification of user identity using a combination of factors like a piece of information that only the user knows, authenticate with a secure application, text message, or a biometric factor. Atlantic.Net offers multi-factor authentication solutions to protect your environment from unauthorized access.
Private Hosted Environment
Your server should be set up in a way that it is isolated from other machines on the platform. Atlantic.Net's experienced engineers can help you to properly set up a private infrastructure and help avoid missteps. Ensuring your data and environments are properly segmented from other machines is extremely important for the integrity of your data.
SSL Certificates
For HIPAA compliance, you need secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates established for any domains and subdomains hosting healthcare information or where sensitive ePHI is accessed. Any part of your site that needs login credentials should have an SSL.
SOC 2 TYPE II and SOC 3 TYPE II Certifications
Atlantic.Net features heightened security with fully-managed firewalls, encrypted VPNs, storage, and backup, and intrusion detection and prevention systems, all backed by an infrastructure that has received SOC 2 and SOC 3 compliant reports. The audit for the reports is based on the AICPA guidelines, including the Trust Service Principles. These tests of operating effectiveness include controls relevant to security and availability principles. These reports replaced the previous Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 reports, as the SAS 70 standard has been retired.
HIPAA Audited
Atlantic.Net provides a secure environment that offers medical companies and patients online protection through its award-winning HIPAA-Compliant Server solutions in an environment built to safeguard ePHI. A HIPAA server alone does not make you HIPAA-compliant. Compliance is determined by adherence to the privacy and security rules outlined by HIPAA. HIPAA servers only address one aspect of those requirements. You are still required to meet administrative and technical specifications of the HIPAA Security Rule to be compliant.
Business Associate Agreement (BAA)
If you use any outside entity to handle ePHI, including a server infrastructure company, you must have a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) signed with that organization to ensure that your business associate meets their HIPAA responsibilities. That document does not relieve you of your responsibilities related to HIPAA, but delineates the external organization's role, liability for breaches, and more. Atlantic.Net offers a BAA as a standard part of the HIPAA hosting offering.
Partnering with a trusted HIPAA-compliant cloud hosting provider such as Atlantic.Net can take the hassle out of compliance.
