Secure WordPress hosting built for healthcare compliance
Container-based isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, BAA agreements, audit logging, and 24/7 monitoring — everything a healthcare professional needs to host a HIPAA-compliant WordPress site without compromise.
What does HIPAA compliance mean for your WordPress site?
HIPAA — the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 — mandates that any business handling electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) must implement stringent technical, physical, and administrative safeguards.
For a WordPress website, this means your hosting provider must support encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit logging, and offsite backups — and must sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) confirming they are legally responsible for PHI they handle on your behalf.
BAA — Business Associate Agreement
A BAA is a legally required contract between a HIPAA-covered entity and any vendor that handles PHI on their behalf. Without a signed BAA, your hosting provider is not HIPAA-compliant — regardless of their security features. We issue BAAs with all healthcare clients.
Everything required for HIPAA-compliant hosting
Every feature below is included by default — not charged as an add-on. Healthcare providers deserve full security without having to negotiate for it.
Encryption in transit
All data transmitted between a patient's browser and your server is encrypted using SSL/TLS. PHI entered on contact forms, intake forms, or patient portals is protected at every step.
Encryption at rest
PHI stored in your WordPress database is encrypted at rest. Form submissions, patient data, and any sensitive records are protected even if the underlying storage is ever accessed.
Container isolation (PHI safe)
Every site runs in its own fully isolated container. Your PHI cannot be accessed by other sites on the same infrastructure — by architectural design, not just policy. More secure than VPS or dedicated servers.
Audit logging
Detailed audit logs track every login, data access, and administrative action on your site — as required by the HIPAA Security Rule. Logs are tamper-resistant and retained for compliance review.
Offsite backups (Amazon S3)
Backups are stored offsite on Amazon S3 with additional redundancy. In a disaster or breach scenario, your data can be restored quickly without relying on the same infrastructure that was compromised.
Physical data centre security
Our infrastructure includes ballistic glass, fire suppression, biometric readers, and 24×7 on-site security staff — meeting the physical safeguard requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule.
Trusted by medical practices, agencies, and health SaaS
"We manage WordPress sites for plastic surgeons and medical spas. HIPAA compliance was a blocker for years — every host either didn't offer a BAA or locked us out of our own sites. Container isolation and the signed BAA were exactly what our clients required."
"Our compliance officer was satisfied after reviewing the audit logging setup and the BAA. The encryption at rest on the database was a requirement we couldn't find elsewhere without paying for a dedicated server. This solved it cleanly."
"The onboarding compliance audit found two gaps in our existing setup that we didn't know about. They fixed both before go-live. That level of proactive support from a hosting provider is genuinely rare — especially one that understands healthcare requirements."
