What is HIPAA compliance?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) requires businesses that process, store, or transmit electronic protected health information (ePHI or PHI) to comply with strict administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Liquid Web offers managed dedicated hosting solutions compliant with HIPAA guidelines.


Often, the consequences of the loss or compromise of protected health information could cause irreparable damage to a client’s reputation, or even serious legal penalties. In order to ensure our clients are protected, we have crafted compliant hosting solutions, making sure technical controls, backup management, safeguards and physical security policies are in place, all to verify that your data is secured to industry standards.

HIPAA compliant hosting FAQ

HIPAA compliant hosting is built to satisfy the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Depending on the server, that may include a hardware firewall and dedicated, encrypted storage, a locked server cabinet, and customized software for intrusion detection, log management, and more.

HIPAA audited hosting refers to hosting services that have undergone a thorough third-party audit to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This type of hosting is designed to help healthcare organizations and their business associates safeguard protected sensitive health information and comply with HIPAA regulations.

Anyone who collects, transmits, or creates electronic protected health information (ePHI) is considered a covered entity and must be HIPAA compliant. That includes not only health care providers and health insurance providers, but also other entities such as IT providers, consultants, and cloud storage providers who store, process, or otherwise may have access to their data.

The need for additional components such as a hardware firewall, secure server cabinet, and customized software means that HIPAA compliant hosting is generally more expensive than a standalone dedicated server. Liquid Web’s dedicated server HIPAA solutions are billed monthly, starting at $229/mo (Linux) and $271/mo (Windows).

At Liquid Web, we ensure HIPAA compliance at the data center level. This means our data centers are equipped with the necessary physical and environmental safeguards required by HIPAA, such as secure access controls, surveillance, and robust disaster recovery solutions. While our data centers meet HIPAA standards, full HIPAA compliance also involves several other factors, including administrative and technical safeguards that need to be implemented at the application and operational levels. This includes things like data encryption, access controls, audit logging, and employee training. To achieve full HIPAA compliance, you need to ensure that your applications and operational processes also adhere to HIPAA requirements.

Violations—intentional or otherwise—carry fines that are levied in tiers, with minimum fines ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation.

Liquid Web offers ePHI hosting on infrastructure that has been audited for HIPAA standards. However, if you’re handling ePHI on your server, it’s your responsibility to ensure that the information is properly encrypted to meet HIPAA requirements. Select Liquid Web products offer data encryption at rest. Contact us to learn more.
