HIPAA Certified Colocation Providers

Frequently asked questions

What is HIPAA for a colocation provider?

HIPAA: US framework for protecting health information in regulated environments. viabandwidth lists 269 colocation operators carrying this certification.

How many HIPAA certified colocation providers are there?

269 colocation operators in viabandwidth's directory report HIPAA. Certification labels are surfaced from operator websites; certificate verification is the buyer's responsibility before contract.

What should procurement teams check beyond the HIPAA label?

There is no HIPAA certification; the operator can only attest to the safeguards in their environment. A HIPAA-claiming colocation operator should be willing to sign a Business Associate Agreement that covers physical safeguards under 45 CFR 164.310.

Does HIPAA alone qualify an operator for shortlisting?

A certification is one signal, not a verdict. Connectivity density, operator credibility (do they actually run the building), power and cooling capacity, and contract terms still matter.
