Why Most Linux Hosting Fails in a HIPAA Environment

Most “Linux hosting” does not get you anywhere near HIPAA compliance. Running healthcare apps on AWS or GCP means you are still responsible for everything:

Locking down firewall rules, root access, and VPNs

Hardening servers, patching vulnerabilities, running audits

Setting up SIEM logging, backup retention, and monitoring

Signing and maintaining a valid BAA

Doing all of it correctly, every month

You are one misconfiguration away from a breach — or worse, an audit.

Generic Cloud = Compliance Nightmare

AWS, DigitalOcean, and Linode give you infrastructure—but zero HIPAA guidance. You are left configuring encryption, access logs, and BAAs alone.

Shared Hosting Lacks Isolation

Standard VPS providers do not offer the physical and logical separation HIPAA requires. Your PHI sits on multi-tenant hardware with weak audit trails.

No Ongoing Compliance Support

Even if you configure it right today, HIPAA is ongoing. Updates, patches, access reviews—generic hosts do not help you stay compliant over time.

DevOps Teams Are Not Compliance Experts

Your specialists should not spend weeks learning HIPAA technical safeguards. They should ship features, not study 164.312(a)(1) requirements.

Answering Your questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and compliance questions answered by our specialist team.

Do I need to be HIPAA-certified to use your servers?

No. HIPAA compliance is a business practice, not a certification. As long as your application handles Protected Health Information (PHI), you need HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. HIPAA Vault provides the technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to cover our role in hosting your data.

What happens if I need more resources than my current plan?

You can upgrade at any time. Vertical scaling (adding RAM, CPU, storage) can usually be done with a brief maintenance window. For horizontal scaling (adding servers), we will provision new compliant servers and help you configure load balancing. All compliance controls remain in place across your entire infrastructure.

Can I use my own encryption keys?

Yes. While we provide HSM-backed encryption by default, Enterprise customers can bring their own key management system (BYOK) or use a third-party KMS like AWS KMS or HashiCorp Vault. This gives you complete control over encryption key lifecycle.

How do audit logs work? Can I export them?

Every action on your server (SSH logins, file modifications, network connections, etc.) is logged to immutable storage with 7-year retention. You can access logs via our dashboard, export them as JSON/CSV, or forward them to your SIEM (Splunk, Datadog, etc.) in real-time. Logs are tamper-proof and suitable for HIPAA audits.

What if I already have servers on AWS or DigitalOcean?

We offer free migration assistance. Our team will help you replicate your environment on HIPAA Vault, transfer your databases, configure DNS, and execute a zero-downtime cutover. Most migrations complete in 3-5 days. You can also run a hybrid setup during the transition period.

Is this just a reseller of AWS or another cloud provider?

No. HIPAA Vault operates our own infrastructure in SSAE-18 certified data centers. We are not a reseller—we control the entire stack from hardware to compliance controls. This allows us to provide better performance, faster support, and guaranteed HIPAA compliance without the complexity of configuring AWS.

What level of support do I get?

Starter and Professional plans include email and Slack support with 4-24 hour response times depending on severity. Enterprise plans include a dedicated account manager, phone support, and 1-hour response for critical issues. All plans have access to our compliance specialist team—no generic tier-1 support.

Can I install custom software or modify the OS?

Absolutely. You have full root access and can install any software, modify kernel parameters, or customize your OS configuration. The only requirement is that you do not disable core compliance controls (encryption, audit logging, access controls). We will alert you if a change creates compliance risk.

What happens during a security breach or incident?

HIPAA Vault has a 24/7 incident response team. If we detect a potential breach (unauthorized access, data exfiltration attempt, etc.), we will immediately alert you, contain the incident, and begin forensic analysis. We will work with you to fulfill HIPAA breach notification requirements and provide documentation for OCR reporting if needed.

Do you support staging or development environments?

Yes. Professional and Enterprise plans include staging environments with identical compliance controls. Even dev/staging servers are HIPAA-compliant because they often contain copies of production PHI. You can spin up as many environments as needed—they all receive BAA coverage.

What is your uptime guarantee?

We guarantee 99.99% uptime (less than 53 minutes of downtime per year). If we miss this SLA, you receive service credits: 10% credit for 99.9-99.99% uptime, 25% for 99.0-99.9%, and 50% for below 99%. Scheduled maintenance windows do not count against SLA.

Can I use Docker or Kubernetes?

Yes. Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and other containerization platforms are fully supported. We provide pre-hardened container images with HIPAA-compliant configurations, but you can also bring your own images. Container logs are automatically captured in audit trails.
