What is HIPAA Compliance?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is an important legislative framework created to safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of patient protected health information. The protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) is not only a regulatory requirement but an ethical obligation, especially when implementing advanced technologies like GPU computing.

HIPAA demands that covered entities, such as healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, along with their business associates, must implement and adhere to the administrative, physical security, and technical safeguards of HIPAA. These safeguards are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI, creating patient trust and addressing the risk associated with data breaches.

At Atlantic.Net, we understand the critical importance of HIPAA compliance. That’s why our GPU HIPAA Hosting platform is designed to meet and exceed these rigorous standards. We help healthcare organizations implement AI/ML workloads for cutting-edge applications, such as AI-driven diagnostics and genomic research while maintaining unwavering security.

Atlantic.Net provides and manages the entire infrastructure needed for handling sensitive patient data, such as personally identifiable health information, medical records, test results, and billing details. By choosing Atlantic.Net, healthcare organizations demonstrate a proactive commitment to protecting patient privacy and maintaining the trust of those they serve.

Importance of HIPAA Compliance in Healthcare GPU Hosting

Security and Privacy are fundamental to HIPAA Compliance. The healthcare industry is a prime target for hacking communities and rogue individuals, and the hosting environment must provide the backbone security needed to safeguard sensitive data.

Implementing AI/ML technology that integrates graphics processing units can provide huge benefits to your business. Fast-track your research and development, train chatbots that provide first-line support for your healthcare organization, or enhance the datasets needed in a clinical trial. The use cases for high-performance computing in Healthcare are limitless, and a real growth area that will accelerate your practice expansion.

However, with great power comes great responsibility. Let's take a deeper dive and discover how Atlantic.Net protects your AI/ML Healthcare workloads.

HIPAA Compliance Requirements for GPU Hosting
and Electronic Protected Health Information

To provide HIPAA-compliant hosting solutions for GPU-accelerated workloads, providers must adhere to the stringent requirements outlined in the HIPAA Security Rule and related HIPAA guidelines. This involves a multi-layered approach, that meets and exceeds the administrative, physical, and technical controls, ensuring the utmost protection of sensitive information and ePHI.

Administrative Safeguards for GPU Resources:

As with all HIPAA legislation, compliance requires a team effort from Atlantic.Net and the Healthcare Organization we are onboarding. Our expert teams will work along side you to introduce the core administrative requirements. Such requirements must be met by Atlantic.Net and our clients.

Risk Analysis and Management:

Providers need to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment tailored to GPU-intensive operations prior to embarking any task containing ePHI. These assessments should address potential vulnerabilities associated with processing large datasets and deploying machine learning and deep learning models. There are strict rules protecting PHI so all datasets must be used correctly and in scope of compliance. This may require individual processing or data obfuscation.

The risk assessment must act as a baseline, and robust risk management policies must be implemented to mitigate identified risks, ensuring security, scalability and compliance.

Business Associate Agreements (BAA):

A critical component is the establishment of Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with all entities involved in processing ePHI, including any third-party software or public cloud services providers supporting GPU resources. Atlantic.Net is ready to sign a BAA with your Healthcare organization today.

Workforce Training and Management:

Training is one of the most important areas of HIPAA compliance. Comprehensive HIPAA training must be provided to all personnel, including data scientists and engineers, who have access to ePHI on GPU servers. These personnel must understand the rules and regulations for handling sensitive data.

Training, combined with strict access control policies should be enforced throughout your IT environments, limiting users' access to only the necessary ePHI.

Policies and Procedures:

Detailed documentation of all HIPAA-related policies and procedures, specifically addressing GPU usage, must be maintained. This helps to ensure HIPAA compliance.

Physical Safeguards in Data Centers:

Data Center Security:

One of the great benefits of outsourcing to a HIPAA Compliant GPU Hosting provider is that your offload the complexities of running a heavily audited data center location. All Atlantic.Net facilities in the United States offer our HIPAA Compliant Service. Most will offer GPU services with more coming online shortly.

Atlantic.Net data center facilities hosting GPU resources implement robust physical security policies, including biometric access control, 24/7 surveillance, and environmental monitoring. We maintain a secure data center environment with rigorous access procedures to prevent unauthorized access.

Need bare metal servers or dedicated server options? Atlantic.Net data centers provide this and it includes our GPU service offering as well!

Hardware Security:

Atlantic.Net implements physical security measures to protect GPU hardware from tampering or unauthorized removal. All server cages are locked, and we have multiple layers of security at the software and physical layer to prevent unauthorized access.
Secure data erasure protocols are in place for all storage devices containing ePHI.

Technical Safeguards for GPU Environments:

Access Control:

All Atlantic.Net healthcare GPU hosting meets full HIPAA Compliance for Access Controls. All our employees are vetted for secure access and we can help you implement role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict your users' access to ePHI based on their job functions.

All hosting solutions include strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, and permission sets that follow the principle of least privilege.

Audit Controls:

Auditing GPU hosting is a critical part of HIPAA regulations. We provide comprehensive audit logs that track all access to ePHI on GPU servers. Logging is essential, and we have the tools to understand large datasets at scale, offering industry-standard audit controls

We undertake regular reviews of audit logs which is essential for detecting and investigating security incidents from our Intrusion Protection Systems. We implement automated controls plus a support team that responds to unexpected alerts.

Integrity Controls:

Atlantic.Net HIPAA GPU Hosting includes data integrity controls managed by our SIEM platform. These controls continuously monitor and alert when unexpected alterations or deletion of ePHI occurs. Further protections include real-time File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) of critical files, database integrity checks via checksums and transaction logs, and rigorous data validation.

Our systems perform continuous log analysis and network monitoring, triggering immediate alerts and a defined incident response plan upon detecting unauthorized alterations. Detailed audit trails are maintained, and regular security assessments ensure ongoing compliance with HIPAA integrity standards, providing the best protection against data corruption and manipulation.

Transmission Security:

Atlantic.Net ensures ePHI transmission security through GPU data encryption, both within the data center and across external networks. Any workload being processed is encrypted to meet HIPAA requirements.

When combined with our comprehensive network security measures, our GPU customers get access to our secure ecosystem designed to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard data during transit. This includes encryption protocols, secure network configurations, and continuous monitoring to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of ePHI during all transmission activities.

Encryption:

Atlantic.Net's HIPAA GPU Hosting uses multi-layered encryption to secure ePHI at rest. This includes Full Disk Encryption (FDE) with AES-256 for all GPU server storage, optional encrypted file systems, and hardware-based memory encryption where applicable.

Secure key management is provided by Key Encryption Keys (KEKs), regular key rotation, and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) or KMS integration. Additionally, logical data partitioning isolates ePHI, and application-level encryption can be used for specific workloads, ensuring comprehensive protection.

To maintain compliance, rigorous key management practices are enforced, including secure generation, storage, and rotation of encryption keys. We are audited at least twice a year of encryption configurations and key management are conducted. This approach ensures that ePHI on GPU servers and storage devices remains protected against unauthorized access.

Disaster Recovery and Backup:

Atlantic.Net's HIPAA GPU hosting platform provides reliable backup and disaster recovery options to safeguard your critical data and ensure business continuity. We offer secure off-site backups for your GPU server data and configurations, scheduled to meet your specific needs and align with HIPAA retention policies.

Backups provide a reliable safeguard against data loss, though restore times may vary. For organizations requiring minimal downtime, we offer replication for enhanced availability, creating copies of your data in a secondary location. While replication offers faster recovery, failover may require manual intervention and potential restore times.

Regardless of whether you choose off-site backups or replication, Atlantic.Net prioritizes data integrity and security. All backups and replicated data are encrypted, and robust validation procedures ensure data accuracy.

Software and Application Security:

To exceed HIPAA requirements, Atlantic.Net maintains all software and applications with the latest security patches and updates, minimizing vulnerabilities. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are deployed to continuously monitor for and block malicious activity, safeguarding against unauthorized access and data breaches.

We conduct regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to proactively identify and address potential security weaknesses, while secure coding practices are enforced for custom applications.

Network Security:

Strong network security is needed to protect the HIPAA Platform. We do this by deploying stateful firewalls (WAF) to control network traffic and prevent unauthorized access. We implement secure network configurations, including virtual private networks (VPNs) and network segmentation to isolate ePHI and restrict access to authorized users.
