Health data hosting compliance

HDS Shield OVHcloud

Healthcare data hosting compliance in Europe and HDS compliance in France

As a cloud solutions provider in this sector we have in-depth expertise, and offer our customers a specific contract for hosting healthcare data which is applicable to a number of European countries.

HDS certification for French patients

The French Digital Healthcare Agency (ANS) sets a rigorous framework for practices related to hosting healthcare data, in which HDS certification is a mandatory requirement. After initial approval in 2016, OVHcloud received HDS certification in 2019, so that all of its healthcare sector customers could benefit from this guarantee.
