HIPAA App Hosting & InfrastructureManaged HIPAA hosting and compliance services for healthcare applications.
MWE provides managed HIPAA-compliant hosting and infrastructure for healthcare applications – regardless of whether they were built by us or someone else.
We've been running production healthcare systems exclusively since 2003 – and in every engagement, the infrastructure, the compliance posture, and the ongoing security program are ours to manage for the life of the deployment. That's true whether the application was built by us, by contractors, or through an AI-assisted process.
We start with an honest assessment of what's there and what it will take to run it safely.
Your managed compliance infrastructure.
Most organizations searching for HIPAA app hosting need more than a server that signs a BAA. They need someone who manages the compliance posture - infrastructure, application layer, ongoing security program - for the life of what runs on it. That's what this is, whether we built the application or you inherited it from someone who did.
HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure
PHI encryption at rest and in transit, private network architecture, isolated database environments, and a Business Associate Agreement on every engagement - in place before the application goes live.
Application-level compliance review
A compliant server running a non-compliant workflow is still a liability. We assess compliance at the application level - not just the infrastructure layer - before we take ownership of any deployment.
Active cybersecurity program
Automated penetration testing, static code analysis, and a web application firewall running continuously against every production application - not scoped to a launch window.
BAA and compliance documentation
Business Associate Agreement executed before deployment. Compliance documentation maintained as regulations update – HIPAA, HITECH, and applicable state privacy laws – so you're not left managing it alone.
Ongoing maintenance and security patching
Dependencies update. Vulnerabilities get disclosed. OS-level patches, dependency updates, and zero-day security fixes are included in the ongoing maintenance relationship - not invoiced as separate line items.
Dedicated CISO oversight
Pablo Bullian has led MWE's security program since 2017 - healthcare-exclusive throughout, CISSP certified. His work covers the security and infrastructure posture across every application on our platform.
What this engagement looks like.
Most organizations that come to us for hosting have an application that's already built - or nearly so. The conversation usually starts with one question and ends up covering three. Here's how these engagements typically take shape.
An app that needs a compliant home - and a compliance owner.
The application exists. It may have been built by an internal team, a contractor, or an AI-assisted development process. What doesn't exist yet is a HIPAA-compliant home for it - and, more importantly, someone accountable for its compliance posture from that point forward. The hosting question surfaces first. The compliance ownership question is usually right behind it.
We start with a posture assessment: infrastructure requirements, application-level compliance review, authentication and access control, PHI handling in transit and at rest. From there we stand up the environment, execute the BAA, and take ownership of the ongoing security program. The organization gets a production-ready, compliant deployment - and a CISO-led security team that stays accountable for it.
Posture review before anything goes live
Infrastructure requirements, application-level compliance, PHI handling, authentication - assessed before we commit to a deployment approach.
HIPAA-compliant environment, BAA in place
AWS infrastructure stood up to spec, Business Associate Agreement executed, monitoring and active cybersecurity running at launch.
Security program, not a server contract
Compliance posture maintained for the life of the deployment - patches, dependency updates, regulatory changes, and CISO oversight included.
Inherited an app that needs more than a new home?
Some applications that come to us for hosting have a more immediate problem: the code itself - whether AI-assisted, offshore-developed, or built under time pressure - isn't production-ready. Hosting it on compliant infrastructure doesn't resolve the application-level risk.
We assess, stabilize, and take long-term ownership of applications not originally built by MWE. The engagement starts with an honest assessment of what's there - then we determine what needs to change before it runs in a production environment that handles patient data.
Code & compliance review
Application-level assessment of PHI handling, authentication, access controls, and audit trail completeness - before anything goes live.
Stabilization & remediation
Targeted fixes to bring the application to a production standard - scope defined by the assessment, not a blanket rebuild estimate.
Long-term ownership
Once stabilized, we take ongoing responsibility for the application and its infrastructure - the same way we do with everything we build ourselves.
Not a hosting contract. A managed compliance relationship.
Commodity HIPAA hosting gives you a server that signs a BAA. What it doesn't give you is someone who owns what runs on it - who is accountable when regulations update, when a dependency becomes a liability, or when the application drifts outside its original compliance posture.
We enter these engagements as the accountable party for the infrastructure and the security program - not as a platform that delegates responsibility back to you. That means every deployment includes a BAA and an active security program led by our dedicated CISO, and a maintenance relationship that keeps the compliance posture current for as long as the application runs.
Before we host anything, we understand what we're hosting. Infrastructure requirements, application-level compliance, PHI handling, authentication – reviewed against what a production healthcare environment requires.
HIPAA-compliant AWS environment stood up to spec. BAA executed. Active cybersecurity – automated penetration testing, WAF, static analysis – running at launch, not added later.
Continuous threat intelligence, automated testing against every production build, and CISO oversight running on an ongoing basis – not scoped to a launch window or an annual audit.
Regulations update. Dependencies age. We keep the compliance posture current – patches, dependency updates, regulatory changes – for the life of the deployment.
Typical Timeline
Posture assessment in the first week. Production environment live within two to three weeks of engagement start, pending application readiness.
23 years in healthcare. Zero reported breaches.
That record isn't a marketing stat. It's the output of a security program that has been running continuously since 2003 – HIPAA-aware infrastructure, active cybersecurity, and a dedicated CISO leading the program since 2017.
Annual third-party HIPAA audits by Compliancy Group. A dedicated CISO – Pablo Bullian, with MWE since 2017, healthcare-exclusive throughout, CISSP certified. The same program that runs across our own builds applies to inherited and externally-developed applications we take on. The security page has the full detail.

Most of these conversations begin with understanding the application - what it is, how it handles PHI, what's already in place, and what isn't. We'll take it from there.
