HIPAA Compliant n8n Hosting

Self-hosted n8n on a single-tenant AWS environment with the Business Associate Agreement signed within 24 hours on managed tiers. Your workflows, credentials and the patient data they touch never leave your own environment. Managed tiers from $229/mo.

Which connected services receive patient data, and who is responsible for each integration?

1

Connected applications

Your users, application choices and external services determine what needs to connect.

2

Self-hosted n8n executions

Confirm application maintenance, access and deployment responsibilities during scoping.

3

Workflow credentials and logs

Hosting includes encryption, audit logging and tested backups. Plan capacity follows your workload.

Illustrative operating model. Your final architecture and responsibilities are agreed during scoping. Connected applications and services need their own review; a hosting agreement does not establish their suitability.

Why self-hosted n8n, and not n8n Cloud

Automation that touches PHI has a different set of constraints from automation that does not.

Your data stays in your account

Workflow executions, payloads and credentials live on a server inside an AWS account dedicated to you. Nothing transits a shared multi-tenant automation platform.

A BAA that covers the automation layer

If a workflow moves PHI between an EHR, a form and a database, the system executing it needs to be covered. Ours is, and the agreement is signed before you go live.

Encrypted, logged and backed up

Encryption at rest and in transit, six-year audit logging, and snapshots of your workflows and credentials, configured before handover, not left to you.

Where our responsibility ends

Stated plainly, because knowing this before an incident is worth more than discovering it during one.

We run

  • The AWS account, VPC and network isolation
  • The server, its patching and hardening
  • The n8n process, version updates and TLS
  • CloudFront, the WAF, encryption, audit logging and backups
  • Monitoring and infrastructure incident response

You run

  • Your workflows and what they do
  • Your credentials and the systems you connect to
  • What data you choose to move, and where
  • Any custom nodes or community nodes you install

If a problem turns out to be the server or the n8n process, open a ticket and we take it. If a workflow is doing the wrong thing, we tell you what we found and hand it back with recommendations.

HIPAA hosting vs standard hosting

A $10 shared plan is not slightly less compliant; it is categorically different. Most mainstream hosts will not sign a BAA for shared hosting at any price.

n8n hosting tiers

Every tier is a single-tenant AWS account on ARM with a signed BAA and the same compliance baseline. What changes is capacity.

Help me choose a hosting tier

Choose capacity for your workload, rather than the size of your organization. The published tiers share the compliance baseline described above.

CPU and memory
Consider concurrent requests, background jobs, database work and your application's memory needs. Traffic alone does not tell the whole story.
Storage and backups
Allow room for your application, database, uploads and expected growth. Compare the listed live-storage and backup allocations separately.
Data transfer
Estimate outgoing data from page visits, downloads and integrations, then compare it with the included transfer.
When to size up or scope a custom setup
Review capacity when monitoring shows sustained resource pressure or you expect a workload increase. Availability and recovery goals may require architecture changes, not simply a larger server.

Unsure where to start? Share the requirements you know. An engineer can help you choose an existing tier or scope a custom configuration.

What every n8n tier includes

The same compliance baseline at Solo and at Network. Capacity is the only thing that changes.

  • Single-tenant AWS environment
  • CloudFront CDN in front of every tier
  • Web application firewall
  • EBS storage with 7-day snapshot retention
  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Six-year audit logging
  • Tested, encrypted backups
  • Migration included
  • BAA signed within 24 hours of signup
  • 24/7 team, monitoring and infrastructure incident response

Know who owns the next step

Clear scope matters before launch and when you need help.

Hosting operations

Our published managed-hosting baseline includes 24/7 monitoring and infrastructure incident response, patching, logging and tested backups. Application changes and third-party integrations depend on the agreed scope.

n8n hosting questions

Is n8n HIPAA compliant?
n8n itself is neither compliant nor non-compliant; software is neutral and the stack it runs on decides. A n8n site becomes part of a compliant system when the host signs a Business Associate Agreement (45 CFR § 164.308(b)) and the environment carries the Security Rule safeguards: encryption, access controls, audit logging and tested backups. Self-hosting keeps executions and credentials in your environment; our tiers supply the infrastructure half.
Do you sign a BAA for n8n hosting?
Yes, on every managed tier, within 24 hours of signup and always before any patient data moves to us. Coverage begins at signature, not at migration.
Why not n8n Cloud?
n8n Cloud is a shared, multi-tenant platform operated by a third party. Self-hosting on a single-tenant environment under our BAA keeps workflow payloads, credentials and execution logs inside infrastructure dedicated to you, which is what a covered entity or business associate can document and audit.
Why do these tiers cost more than a generic VPS?
n8n runs on our memory-optimised tiers, with 16 GB of RAM at Solo, because workflow executions, queues and the database perform and scale better with that headroom.
Which tier do we need?
Solo suits a handful of workflows for one practice. Practice adds capacity for high execution volume, large payloads or many concurrent workflows. Clinic, Group and Network scale to multi-site networks and higher traffic; if you are unsure, tell us what the site does and we will size it with you.
