HDS certification aims to strengthen the protection of personal health data and build a trusted environment around e-health and patient monitoring.
It relies on frameworks that include compliance with ISO standards and allows the certification of any entity hosting health data by an accredited independent organization.
Personal health data is sensitive information, and its access is regulated by law to protect individuals' rights. Consequently, hosting such data must be carried out under conditions of security adapted to its critical nature. Regulations define the expected modalities and conditions.

As a certified-HDS host, we are obligated to maintain a list of points of contact for each of our clients. This contact person must be able to designate a healthcare professional to us at any time when necessary (examples: access to health data, managing patient relations, etc.).
Maintaining Operational Conditions (MCO) is an additional service we offer to our clients for all sensitive projects and can include:
- Implementation of 24/7 on-call support with equipped incident management processes.
- Probes, monitoring, and communication tools enable real-time reporting and facilitate crisis management.
- Resolution of incidents requiring rare and specialized troubleshooting skills.
Scalingo has indeed been selected by UGAP (the public sector procurement agency). Since 2020, we have been supporting public and quasi-public entities, local authorities, and ministries that trust us to host and protect the data of French citizens and businesses, all within a controlled budget.
