Healthcare Data Hosting (HDS): Obligations and Solutions

Hosting health data requires HDS certification. Who is concerned, what the obligations are, and how to choose a compliant, sovereign host.

Healthcare Data Hosting (HDS): Obligations and Solutions

Any organisation hosting personal health data on behalf of others must use an HDS-certified host. A requirement at the crossroads of healthcare, GDPR and sovereignty.

What is HDS certification?

HDS (Health Data Host) certification attests that a provider meets a strict framework for security, confidentiality and traceability of medical data, granted after an accredited audit.

Who must be HDS-certified?

Hospitals, medical software vendors, labs, e-health start-ups: whenever health data is hosted for third parties, the host's certification is mandatory. For such sensitive data, a sovereign cloud immune to the US CLOUD Act is strongly recommended.
