Your Patient Data Sits on Servers Built for Shopify. That's Your HIPAA Problem.
If you're a healthcare CTO inheriting legacy infrastructure, you're one breach notification away from a $50K OCR fine and front-page damage.
HIPAA-compliant infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with signed BAAs, encrypted data pipelines, and audit-ready architecture.
HIPAA-compliant hosting is cloud infrastructure configured to meet the technical safeguards required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. In practice, that means signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with your cloud providers, encryption of Protected Health Information (PHI) both at rest and in transit, tight access controls, audit logging, and automated breach detection. If your system stores, processes, or transmits PHI, you're legally required to run it on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure -- no exceptions for covered entities or business associates.

How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Business Associate Agreements
We configure and document signed BAAs with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud as part of every deployment. Your BAA chain is complete -- from application layer down to infrastructure provider.
PHI Encryption at Rest & In Transit
AES-256 encryption for all stored PHI, TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Key management runs through AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud KMS with automatic rotation built in.
Role-Based Access Controls
Granular IAM policies enforce least-privilege access to PHI. Every service account, developer role, and API token gets scoped to exactly the permissions it needs -- nothing more.
Immutable Audit Logging
CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, or Google Cloud Audit Logs capture every PHI access event. Logs live in tamper-proof, append-only storage with 7-year retention.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Continuous scanning across infrastructure and application layers for CVEs and misconfigurations. Alerts fire in minutes, not days, with automated remediation for known patterns.
Breach Detection & Notification Pipeline
Real-time anomaly detection via GuardDuty, Sentinel, or Security Command Center. Automated notification workflows keep you inside that 60-day HIPAA breach reporting window.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
Multi-Cloud BAA Architecture
Deploy on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud -- or across multiple providers -- with BAA coverage at every layer of the stack.
Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Every resource is version-controlled, auditable, and reproducible. That kills configuration drift and eliminates undocumented changes before they become audit problems.
PHI Data Isolation
Dedicated VPCs, private subnets, and network segmentation make sure PHI never shares resources with non-compliant workloads.
Automated Backup & Disaster Recovery
Cross-region encrypted backups with tested recovery procedures and documented RPO/RTO targets that satisfy HIPAA's continuity requirements.
Synthetic PHI for Development
Realistic but fully synthetic patient data for staging and development. Real PHI doesn't leave production.
Compliance Documentation Package
Everything gets delivered with a complete technical safeguards matrix, network diagrams, and risk assessment documentation ready for an OCR audit.
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
PHI Scope & Risk Assessment
Week 1We map every system that touches PHI, pin down your covered entity or business associate obligations, and document the risk profile that shapes every architecture decision.
Architecture & BAA Setup
Week 2-3We design the cloud architecture using BAA-backed services only. IAM policies, encryption configurations, network isolation, and audit logging are all in place from day one -- not bolted on later.
Infrastructure Deployment
Week 3-5All resources get provisioned via Terraform with peer-reviewed pull requests. Every change is logged, reversible, and tied back to a specific compliance requirement.
Security Validation & Penetration Testing
Week 5-6We run both automated and manual security assessments against the deployed infrastructure -- encryption, access controls, breach detection pipelines, all of it tested under realistic conditions.
Documentation & Handoff
Week 6-7We hand over the complete compliance documentation package, train your team on day-to-day operational procedures, and stick around for 30 days of post-launch monitoring and support.
