DigitalOcean and HIPAA: Enabling Healthcare Innovation on our Platform

DigitalOcean has announced that select products can now host electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) in compliance with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The company has undergone a rigorous review of its systems to ensure HIPAA requirements are met, maintaining various security certifications such as SOC 2 and CSA STAR Level 1. To process HIPAA workloads, customers must review and accept DigitalOcean's Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which can be obtained through their Customer Success representative or sales team. The company has also published HIPAA Architecture Guidance to provide best practices for using the covered product suite.
