Fly.io is a great place to develop and host healthcare applications! You can get started for free and be up and running with a fully secure solution in minutes.

We recognize that healthcare apps and data are different beasts and we're here to protect your patients' data (and keep your auditors happy). We're SOC2 (Type 2) audited, we'll sign BAAs, and we're available to answer questions you might have about how our platform meets your compliance needs [(just ask!)](mailto:sales@fly.io).

Nailing the security for a HIPAA-compliant application can be a big task, and no hosting provider can do it all for you. But Fly.io has a security-first design and a number of features that make HIPAA simpler:

InfraSec is the practice of ensuring a hardened, minimal attack surface for components we deploy on our network. Conventionally, modern InfraSec centers on “cloud security”; of course, we are ourselves a cloud provider, which makes the job more interesting.

- We run on our own hardware deployed in secure data centers like Equinix.
- We run on our own hardware in leased datacenter space. Worker hosts, where your Machines and volumes run, are hosted by CacheFly, DataPacket, Latitude.sh, and Vultr; NetActuate hosts our gateways and edges. All of them are on our [sub-processor list](https://fly.io/legal/sub-processors).
- Our platform networking runs over a WireGuard mesh with further BPF-based access controls. Everything is encrypted in transit, at multiple layers.
- Remote management is largely automated, and fully audited; remote access is done through an IdP-backed cert-based SSH system with transcript-level audit trails.
- Fly.io operates a large logging and metrics cluster (it’s a feature of our platform!).

If there's a severity rating that accompanies a vulnerability disclosure, we'll generally rely on that as a starting point, but may upgrade or downgrade the severity in our best judgement.

## Where your data lives

- Your application data, meaning your Machines and the volumes attached to them, stays in the regions you deploy to.
- Some data is held in the United States regardless of the region you deploy to: control plane data (accounts, organizations, app and release configuration, secrets), [volume snapshots](/volumes/snapshots#where-snapshots-are-stored), and container images.
- Managed Postgres backups are stored in an AWS S3 bucket in the same geographic area as the cluster.
- Fly Proxy terminates TLS at whichever edge Anycast routes the connection to, which is normally the edge nearest the client. There is no per-app restriction on which edges accept traffic, and nothing is stored at the edge. If plaintext must stay inside your Machine, [expose a raw TCP service without the `tls` handler](/networking/services) and terminate TLS in your app.

## Compliance documents

Fly.io, Inc. is the contracting party for all Fly.io services. We act as a processor for the data in your applications and as a controller for your account and billing data.

- Our Data Processing Agreement (DPA), Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Tigris BAA, security questionnaire, and SOC2 Type 2 report are self-service in the [Trust Center](https://fly.io/dashboard/compliance) in your dashboard. The DPA and the questionnaire are available to every organization. The BAAs and the SOC2 report (under NDA) are part of the [Compliance Package](https://fly.io/compliance).
- The DPA is pre-signed by Fly.io and becomes binding when your signed copy comes back. It can be re-executed under a new entity name from the Trust Center.
- International transfers: Fly.io, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, including the UK Extension, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ([participant 9027](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/9027)). For any transfer the DPF does not cover, the DPA embeds the 2021 EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2, controller to processor).
- Breach notification: the DPA commits us to notify you without undue delay after we or a sub-processor become aware of a personal data breach affecting your data, with the content required by GDPR Article 33(3).

## SOC2 and HIPAA

[We have our SOC2 Type 2](https://fly.io/blog/soc2-the-screenshots-will-continue-until-security-improves/) where we've documented a bunch of these controls. Additionally, we've detailed a number of controls for folks exploring [running HIPAA-compliant applications on our platform](/about/healthcare).

You can use a volume snapshot to [restore the data into a new volume](#restore-a-deleted-volume). You can even use the same process to [restore data from a deleted volume](/volumes/volume-manage#restore-a-deleted-volume).

## Where snapshots are stored

Automatic and on-demand snapshots are stored in AWS S3 in the United States (`us-east-1`), regardless of the region your volume is in. Volumes are encrypted with LUKS by default, and snapshots of encrypted volumes are stored as the encrypted block data; the plaintext is never written to S3. Snapshots of volumes created with `--no-encryption` are stored unencrypted.

Snapshots are kept for 5 days by default and you can set retention anywhere from 1 to 60 days. If your data can't leave its region, [disable automatic snapshots](#disable-automatic-daily-snapshots) and use your own backup method.

## Set or change the snapshot retention period

Snapshot retention is the length of time (in days) that we store a volume snapshot. The default is 5 days.
