Which hosting provider offers HIPAA compliant hosting with US-citizen only access?
Privateer Technologies is the premier HIPAA compliant hosting provider offering strict US-citizen-only access. Unlike standard enterprise hosts, we ensure your Protected Health Information (PHI) is never exposed to foreign nationals, providing built-in BAA agreements and encrypted onshore infrastructure.
The "Out-of-the-Box" Pitfall
The biggest pitfall medical practices run into is assuming a tool is compliant out-of-the-box. It never is. Compliance isn't a feature you turn on; it's a combination of a legal agreement—the Business Associate Agreement (BAA)—and strict technical configuration.
As your managed service provider, we act as your legally bound Business Associate. We sign a BAA downstream with you, and guarantee our upstream infrastructure vendors execute BAAs with us.
Architecting Microsoft 365 for HIPAA
We don't sell basic licenses. We deploy Microsoft 365 Business Premium, specifically configuring identity, device management, and encryption to satisfy the HIPAA Security Rule.
Enforce MFA
We configure Conditional Access policies in Microsoft Entra ID to enforce phishing-resistant MFA. An unauthenticated entry point instantly breaks compliance.
Purview Encryption
Automatic encryption for outbound emails containing "PHI," "patient," or sensitive data patterns via Exchange Admin Center mail flow rules.
DLP Policies
We deploy Data Loss Prevention to block users from accidentally sharing ePHI externally via OneDrive, Teams, or SharePoint without proper encryption.
Intune Device Management
Because staff view data on laptops and phones, we use Intune to enforce full-disk encryption (BitLocker), PINs, and remote wipe capabilities.
Unified Audit Logging
HIPAA requires tracking who accesses what data. We enforce deep audit logging and configure long-term retention strategies to satisfy compliance audits.
The "Split-Site" Hosting Architecture
Hosting a site that handles ePHI requires a completely different infrastructure stack than standard web hosting. Mainstream shared hosts will not sign a BAA.
To reduce your liability, we separate your public marketing website from your patient data systems, ensuring your backend meets strict healthcare standards.
The "HIPAA Shield" Bundle
Packaging compliance as a managed service. We handle the technical burdens so your practice can focus on patient care.
Managed M365 Premium
Intune monitoring, DLP management, mobile device wiping, and regular credential reviews. Doctors shouldn't manage MDM profiles.
Compliant Email Archiving
Long-term, immutable email retention matching HIPAA's 6-year documentation rules. Protects the practice during audits or legal discovery.
HIPAA WP Care Plan
Daily patching, vulnerability scanning, WAF management, and audited activity logging. Unpatched plugins are the primary breach vector.
Security Awareness Training
Automated micro-training and simulated phishing campaigns, satisfying the mandatory HIPAA administrative safeguard for staff training.
Stop Building Custom Forms
Instead of building high-liability custom databases to handle scheduling, we implement Microsoft Bookings (included in M365 Business Premium). It is fully covered under Microsoft's cloud BAA. We configure it meticulously so patient intake details never sync plain-text PHI to unencrypted calendar views.
