We’re excited to announce the launch of HIPAA-enabled workspaces on Render, making it dramatically easier for healthcare startups to build HIPAA-compliant applications without complex DevOps work.Get Started Today
A New Standard for HIPAA Hosting
Until now, achieving HIPAA compliance forced teams to choose between two painful extremes: hyperscalers like AWS that offer free BAAs but require extensive engineering effort to get (and stay) compliant, or specialized PaaS offerings that bake in compliance at the cost of high monthly fees and enterprise sales contracts.Render offers a better path.With HIPAA-enabled workspaces, teams can get started quickly with a secure, compliant foundation that scales with their business starting at $250/month. No complex onboarding. No mandatory sales calls. No enterprise contract lock-in. Just the cloud infrastructure you already love—upgraded to meet the needs of healthcare.Render customers like Thatch, Luminai, and Healthipeople are already using HIPAA-enabled workspaces to keep engineering teams moving fast while working with patient data:

When HIPAA compliance became a priority for us, we didn't have to shift focus away from product. Render handled the security building blocks like private networking, data encryption, and audit controls so our engineers could keep moving fast without taking on compliance overhead.
Self-Serve Compliance, Designed for Speed
HIPAA-enabled workspaces are available to any Render customer on an Organization or Enterprise plan. Here’s what you get:
Self-Serve BAA Signing – Teams can sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) directly from the dashboard and upgrade their workspace with just a few clicks.
Security Rule Safeguards - Audit logs, role-based access control, and data recovery tools help you meet HIPAA requirements at the infrastructure level.
End-to-End Encryption – All disks and daily snapshots are encrypted at rest. Render also enforces TLS encryption in transit for all services.
Compliance-Ready Infrastructure – Web services, background workers, cron jobs, preview environments, and managed Postgres/Key-Value stores all run on dedicated, access-restricted hosts that meet HIPAA compliance standards.
Usage-Based Pricing – HIPAA features are priced as a percentage-based fee on your existing infrastructure usage, capped to ensure predictability. This means you pay more only as your usage grows—perfect for early-stage startups launching their first HIPAA-compliant product.
You can convert any existing workspace to a HIPAA-compliant one in minutes. We’ll handle the redeploys and migrate your services to access-restricted hosts.
HIPAA-enabled workspaces are available now. If your company handles patient data and needs a better way to launch and scale, get started today. For help migrating an existing production application, please contact our team.Let us handle the compliance details—so you can focus on building.
