The Secure Backend for Healthcare: Xano Is Now HDS Certified

At Xano, we understand that in healthcare, security is everything. That's why we’re proud to announce that, adding on to our existing HIPAA compliance in the United States, Xano is now officially HDS (Hébergement de Données de Santé) certified—a major milestone in our commitment to safeguarding sensitive patient data around the world, and meeting the highest standards of compliance.

But this accomplishment is more than just a checkmark on a compliance list. It reinforces Xano’s position as the ultimate backend platform for healthcare companies, HealthTech startups, and any organization operating in highly regulated environments.

Built for Healthcare-Grade Security and Compliance

Healthcare applications face a unique set of challenges:

  • Handling protected health information (PHI) across borders
  • Ensuring compliance with multiple data regulations (HIPAA, GDPR, HDS, etc.)
  • Delivering secure, scalable experiences without compromising speed or flexibility

Xano addresses all of this and more.

  • HDS certification, which is France’s gold standard for health data security (akin to HIPAA in the U.S.), means our infrastructure has passed one of the most rigorous audits in the world.
  • We provide end-to-end encryption, fine-grained access controls, data localization options, and audit trails out of the box—capabilities that healthcare platforms require from day one.
  • Our no-code/low-code backend builder empowers teams to move faster without sacrificing security, helping HealthTech companies launch faster, scale smarter, and stay compliant globally.

Why the HDS Certification Matters

HDS certification is mandatory for any company hosting or processing health data in France, and it sets a remarkably high bar. For Xano, achieving this certification validates the strength of the infrastructure we’ve spent years refining.

It means:

  • We're ready to support European digital health initiatives at scale.
  • Our platform meets the expectations of regulators, hospitals, and health systems.
  • You can build on Xano with confidence, knowing your backend infrastructure is built to withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Whether you're launching a remote diagnostics platform, a clinical trials dashboard, or a patient engagement app, Xano can be your compliant, high-performance foundation.

The Future of Digital Health Runs on Xano

Our HDS certification is just one chapter in our security-first journey. It underscores our broader mission: to give developers, innovators, and healthcare professionals the tools they need to build powerful applications without ever compromising on compliance.

With Xano, you’re choosing a platform that takes your data, your users, and your mission as seriously as you do.

Let’s build the future of healthcare securely together.
