If you’re at all involved in the health industry, the short answer is probably yes.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) states that any company that deals with protected health information (PHI, if you’d like another acronym to memorize) has to adhere to the required physical, network, and process security measures.

Covered entities, treatment providers, healthcare payment and operations systems, and business associates are all included. As a rule of thumb, anyone with access to patient information is required to maintain HIPAA compliance.

It can get pretty murky trying to figure out who’s compliant and who’s not. It’s for this reason we provides HIPAA compliant webhosting. We’ll wade through the waters of government policy and make sure you’re always in compliance. Simple hosting. That’s what we do.
