protected health information, whether electronic, written, or oral.” [HHS.gov]
“The Security Rule, a Federal law that protects health information in electronic form, requires entities covered

Who does HIPAA apply to?
Business’s that must following the regulations outlined in HIPAA, or “covered entities” include:
• Health Plans - Including health insurance companies, HMOs, company health plans, and certain government
programs that pay for health care, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
• Most Health Care Providers – Those that conduct certain business electronically, such as electronically
billing your health insurance—including most doctors, clinics, hospitals, psychologists, chiropractors, nursing
homes, pharmacies, and dentists.
• Health Care Clearinghouses - Entities that process

How does Datto assist with HIPAA Compliance?
• Hybrid Cloud: Datto solutions work on a hybrid cloud platform, meaning that backups are taken locally and also
are replicated to our bi-coastal data centers. This eliminates the risks of having a single point of failure for your
backups, and ensures that data is always available regardless of the disaster that afflicts your client’s business.
• Instant Virtualization: Since Datto’s backup files are stored directly as VMDK, servers and workstations can be
instantly virtualized both locally and in the cloud. This not only reduces downtime for a client’s business, but
ensures that their data is always available so they can maintain compliance.
• Secure Data Centers: Both of Datto’s data centers are secured at the highest level and meet both SSAE16 and
HIPAA compliancy standards.
• Archiving: Depending on the level of archiving time that your HIPAA covered client needs to meet, Datto can
extend off-site archiving as necessary.
• Screenshot Verification: No matter how compliant your business may be, you need to make sure that your
disaster recovery plan actually works. Regularly testing your entire DR plan can be a potentially costly and time
consuming process. Luckily, Datto’s has made this process a bit easier. Datto’s Screenshot Verification Technology
takes your backups, virtualizes them automatically in the cloud, and send you an email with a screenshot of the
login screen. This gives you and your clients the peace of mind that backups are viable for instant virtualization,
should a disaster affect your business.
