Understanding Health Data Hosting ("Hébergement des Données de Santé" - HDS) cloud certification

What is health data?

Any information that makes it possible to identify a person and learn about their state of health, whether physical or mental, is health data (information collected during medical monitoring, results of medical examinations, information relating to an illness, allergy, treatment or disability, etc.).

What is HDS certification?

HDS (Health Data Hosting) certification aims to enhance the security and confidentiality of personal health data, thereby guaranteeing a trusted environment for e-health and patient monitoring. To meet these high standards, it is based on ISO-compliant standards and the RGPD. Issued by an accredited independent body, it covers six areas of activity: the provision and maintenance in operational and security conditions of physical sites, the hardware infrastructure, the virtual infrastructure, the platform for hosting IS applications processing personal health data, as well as the administration and operation of the IS and the backup of personal health data.

Why choose an HDS cloud?

A legal obligation for players in the healthcare sector

All players (public or private) who host, use or store health data for a third party (with the exception of IT archiving services, which are not affected by these obligations) must be HDS-certified. Only health establishments that manage their own information systems are exempt (L.1111-8 of the Public Health Code).

Data security and confidentiality

Unlike an on-premise infrastructure, where the company would have to manage data hosting, operation and security itself, a Platform as a Service HDS cloud like Clever Cloud enables these critical aspects to be automated. This guarantees rapid deployment, automatic scalability, one-click database control, advanced security (encryption, service continuity, anonymisation) and effortless maintenance, all in a certified way.

By choosing an HDS cloud, you can concentrate on your core business, while ensuring that your infrastructure complies with the highest standards of healthcare data protection.
