HDS - French Healthcare Data Hosting

Summary

For organizations in the French healthcare sector, ensuring the security and privacy of patient data is a top priority, especially when moving to the cloud. The HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) certification is a mandatory requirement in France for entities hosting personal health data. Introduced by the French governmental agency for health, the "Agence du Numérique en Santé" (ANS), HDS provides a framework to strengthen the security and protection of this sensitive information.

Red Hat provides robust, flexible, and secure open-source solutions that can be configured to help organizations meet the stringent requirements of HDS. While Red Hat is not a hosting provider and therefore not directly HDS certified, our products offer built-in capabilities to help you build and maintain a compliant environment for your healthcare applications.

Red Hat Technologies for HDS Environments

While cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure hold HDS certification for their infrastructure, Red Hat's platforms run on top of this infrastructure and provide the tools to manage and secure your applications in an HDS-compliant manner. Our solutions are designed to help you meet the technical and governance measures required by French law.
