Achieve HIPAA Compliance with Sovereign EU Object Storage
Handling patient data requires more than just encryption; it demands true digital sovereignty. A 100% EU-based platform offers a direct path to secure HIPAA compliant object storage. This avoids CLOUD Act exposure and ensures data residency.
The topic briefly and concisely
Achieve HIPAA and GDPR compliance with a 100% EU-sovereign object storage solution that uses geofencing to guarantee data residency.
Eliminate unpredictable costs with a transparent pricing model that includes zero egress fees, no API call charges, and no minimum storage durations.
Protect backups from ransomware using Immutable Storage (S3 Object Lock) and simplify operations with a 100% S3-compatible, always-hot architecture.
Navigating HIPAA and GDPR requirements presents a significant challenge for healthcare providers and their IT partners. Storing protected health information (PHI) demands absolute security and jurisdictional control, with fines for non-compliance reaching 4% of annual turnover. The solution lies in a storage architecture that is sovereign by design. Impossible Cloud provides a fully S3-compatible object storage platform operated exclusively in certified European data centers. It delivers multi-layer encryption, immutable backups, and a predictable cost model with zero egress fees, meeting over 114 basic BSI C5 requirements.
Establish Digital Sovereignty for Healthcare Data
Storing patient data outside the EU exposes it to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act. Our platform guarantees 100% of your data stays within certified European data centers. This provides the legal certainty required under both GDPR and the German BDSG.
We enforce this with country-level geofencing, restricting data access to predefined regions. This ensures you meet strict data residency rules for over 450 million EU citizens. This approach eliminates the primary risk of non-EU data exposure.
Our commitment aligns with initiatives like Gaia-X, which aim to build a federated data infrastructure based on EU values. This ensures your compliance strategy is built on a sovereign foundation. This focus on jurisdictional control is the first step toward a resilient data protection strategy.
