Hébergeur de Données de Santé
The HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) certification is a legal requirement in France for any organization that hosts, processes, or stores personal health data on behalf of third parties, such as healthcare providers or patients. Established under Articles L.1111-8 and R.1111-9 of the French Public Health Code, this certification ensures the security, confidentiality, and integrity of sensitive health data.
The certification is issued by an accredited body under the supervision of the Agence du Numérique en Santé (ANS) and follows strict guidelines aligned with GDPR and national regulations.
