HIPAA-compliant AWS architecture, built to be attested.

HIPAA-eligible means AWS permits that service to store, process, or transmit Protected Health Information under the AWS BAA. It does not mean the service is automatically compliant. Eligibility is a precondition, not a finish line: you still have to configure the service correctly and keep PHI inside eligible services only. AWS publishes the current list of HIPAA-eligible services and updates it over time, so architecture decisions should always be checked against the live list.

It depends on whether HAZERCLOUD would create, receive, maintain, or transmit your PHI. If our engineers only build and configure infrastructure and never access patient data, a BAA may not be strictly required, though many clients still put one in place for clarity. If any part of the engagement means we could touch PHI (for example, hands-on support inside a production account that holds patient data), then a Business Associate Agreement between your organization and ours is appropriate. We are comfortable signing one and scope our access to match.

Yes. Remediating audit and risk-assessment findings is one of the most common reasons clients engage us. We map each finding back to the relevant HIPAA Security Rule safeguard, translate it into a concrete AWS control (encryption, IAM policy, logging, segmentation, backup), implement the fix, and produce the evidence your auditor or compliance team needs to close it. We do not issue the attestation ourselves. We build the corrected architecture and the evidence so your assessor can sign off.

They are different in kind. HIPAA is US law for Protected Health Information and has no official certification; you demonstrate compliance through controls, documentation, and risk assessments, not a certificate. ISO 27001 is a global, certifiable information security standard. Many healthcare companies pursue both: ISO 27001 as a certifiable security baseline that enterprise buyers recognize, and HIPAA compliance for handling PHI in the US market. The underlying controls overlap heavily, so the same AWS architecture and evidence can serve both. HAZERCLOUD is ISO 27001:2022 certified itself and builds HIPAA-compliant architectures on the same foundations.

PHI is encrypted both at rest and in transit. At rest, we use AWS KMS with customer-managed keys across services such as RDS, S3, EBS, and backups, with key rotation and least-privilege key policies. In transit, we enforce TLS everywhere: HTTPS at the load balancer, encrypted database connections, and encrypted service-to-service traffic inside the VPC. Encryption alone is not compliance, but it is a mandatory technical safeguard and usually the first thing an auditor checks.

There is no official HIPAA certification, for a hosting partner or anyone else, because HIPAA is a US regulation enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services, not a certifiable standard with an accredited registrar. Any vendor advertising a HIPAA certificate is misrepresenting how the regulation works. What HAZERCLOUD can accurately state is that it holds ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, and builds and operates HIPAA-compliant architectures on HIPAA-eligible AWS services. Your compliance team and your auditors attest to HIPAA compliance; we build the evidence-ready infrastructure that lets them do it.
