Compliance
Linode’s Cloud Computing platform provides a solid foundation for a wide range of compliance needs. If you have a goal, Linode can help you get there.
HIPAA (U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act):
Covered entities and their business associates subject to the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) can maintain compliance using Linode as their Cloud Hosting provider. While Linode provides the platform and does not generally engage in activities or functions that make it a HIPAA Business Associate, the compliance responsibilities are handled by your organization. Specifically, a customer that subscribes to use a cloud server offered through Linode has the exclusive authority and ability to manage all technical safeguards required by HIPAA with respect to its PHI, including access controls, audit controls, integrity, authentication and transmission security.

Yes. By following the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services standards for the security of electronic protected health information, a company can become HIPAA compliant on a Linode.
