Compliance architecture
What actually makes SFTP “HIPAA compliant”?
HIPAA §164.306 requires you to protect ePHI in transit and at rest. Here’s exactly how every requirement is covered.
Business Associate Agreement
Signed before go-live in every plan — not gated behind an enterprise tier like competitors.
Encryption in transit + at rest
RSA key exchange in transit, AES-256 encrypted drives at rest. Files never travel or sit unprotected.
Audit-ready access logs
Every login, upload, and download logged with timestamp, user identity, and IP address.
2FA, IP whitelisting, RBAC
Two-factor authentication, source IP exclusion, and role-based user accounts built in.
Google Cloud Armor WAF
Enterprise-grade DDoS protection via Google’s global network — on by default.
Alternate port 2022
Port 22 fully locked down. SFTP on port 2022 eliminates the primary SSH brute-force attack surface.
Managed services

“We transfer thousands of DICOM files between clinics daily, and HIPAA Vault’s SFTP server has made that completely seamless. Encrypted in transit, audit logs on every transfer, and zero configuration headaches. It’s exactly what a healthcare IT team needs.”
Marcus T., Compliance Officer

“Getting a signed BAA from a cloud vendor used to take weeks of back-and-forth. HIPAA Vault had ours executed the same day. That kind of responsiveness tells you everything about how seriously they take compliance. We’ve been audit-ready from day one.”
Dr. James Ellison, Medical Director

“Our labs, imaging centers, and billing partners all needed a secure way to exchange patient records. HIPAA Vault gave us a single SFTP environment that all three can access with role-based permissions. File transfers that used to go through insecure email now happen automatically.”
Rachel Okonkwo, Health IT Manager

“We migrated from an on-premise FTP server that was years past its useful life. The HIPAA Vault team walked us through every step — credential setup, directory structure, user permissions.”
Lisa Brennan, VP of Operations

“We evaluated four vendors before choosing HIPAA Vault. They were the only ones who proactively explained their BAA terms rather than burying them in boilerplate. Migration was handled by their team with minimal downtime, and support has been genuinely excellent ever since.”
Tom Vasquez, Systems Administrator

“Setting up automated SFTP transfers for our EHR exports used to require a dedicated server and a lot of maintenance. With HIPAA Vault, the uptime has been flawless and the audit trail satisfies our compliance team completely.”
