Data Center
A secured facility housing servers and infrastructure, subject to HIPAA physical safeguards.
A data center is a purpose-built facility that houses servers, storage, and networking equipment, along with the power, cooling, and physical security needed to keep them running reliably.
For HIPAA, the data center is where many physical safeguards live: controlled facility access, surveillance, environmental protections, and secure media disposal. Compliant providers typically operate from data centers audited under standards such as SOC 2.
