Nexcess Introduces Dedicated Healthcare Hosting for Organizations Managing Sensitive Patient Data

As healthcare organizations face growing data security expectations, Nexcess offers purpose-built hosting infrastructure designed for teams that need a reliable, security-focused environment in which to operate their HIPAA-compliant workloads.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexcess, a specialty cloud hosting provider built for regulated and sensitive workloads, announced the availability of its dedicated healthcare hosting solution. The Nexcess Platform gives healthcare organizations, health tech companies, and digital health innovators a managed hosting environment designed with the security controls, availability, and operational rigor their teams require.

The launch comes as healthcare organizations navigate an increasingly complex data security landscape. The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a record number of HIPAA enforcement actions in 2024 and 2025, with scrutiny extending to the Business Associates — including technology and infrastructure vendors — that handle data on behalf of covered entities. At the federal level, the proposed Health Infrastructure Security and Accountability Act (HISAA) would establish new cybersecurity requirements for healthcare technology vendors. State-level data privacy laws in California, New York, Texas, and others add further layers of obligation.

"Healthcare teams are under real pressure to demonstrate that every layer of their technology stack meets the expectations of regulators and patients alike," said Nick Dvas, COO and Chief Product Officer at Nexcess. "Our role is to give those teams a hosting environment they can count on — one built for the security and operational demands of healthcare, so they can focus on the work that matters."

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher

Healthcare data breaches cost an average of $10.9 million per incident — the highest of any industry for 13 consecutive years, according to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report. The expanding regulatory environment only heightens the importance of infrastructure decisions: where data lives, who can access it, and how it is protected all carry compliance implications that general-purpose hosting providers are not designed to address.

Key regulatory developments healthcare organizations are monitoring include:

• Record HIPAA enforcement actions by the HHS OCR, with increased scrutiny of Business Associates — including hosting and cloud infrastructure providers.
   
• The proposed Health Infrastructure Security and Accountability Act (HISAA), which would codify cybersecurity standards for healthcare technology vendors.
   
• Expanding state-level healthcare data privacy laws in California (CMIA), New York, Texas, and others.
   
• Updated HITECH Act breach notification requirements with expanded Business Associate scope.
