The Trusted Networking Layer for PHI & Regulated Data
Secure your healthcare applications with a hardened, HIPAA-compliant networking perimeter.
QuotaGuard Shield provides the technical safeguards required to transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) while maintaining end-to-end encryption and full auditability.

QuotaGuard Shield is purpose-built to meet the strict "transmission security" requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule through advanced encryption and architectural isolation.
Note: HIPAA requires reasonably secure technical safeguards for electronic PHI (ePHI) in transit. QuotaGuard Shield enforces TLS 1.2 or higher for all proxied connections, satisfying NIST-level encryption standards.
Our Shield architecture goes beyond simple IP rotation to provide a complete security perimeter for regulated serverless, containerized, and PaaS environments.
Unlike standard proxies that may transmit credentials in cleartext, Shield wraps your proxy authentication in a secure TLS tunnel.
This prevents sensitive credentials from being leaked or intercepted during the initial handshake, protecting your application's entry point to the network.
To minimize your compliance surface area, QuotaGuard never logs request bodies or payload data.
We only record the essential metadata (timestamp, source IP, and destination) required for debugging and to satisfy the Audit Control requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule.
Every HIPAA cluster includes a load-balanced pair of static IPs with automated health checks and failover.
This ensures that your mission-critical healthcare integrations remain available 24/7, preventing service interruptions that could impact patient care.

Technical answers for compliance officers regarding PHI transmission and legal agreements.
Yes.
We understand that a Business Associate Agreement is a requirement for healthcare providers and their vendors.
We provide standard BAAs for all Shield customers and can review custom enterprise agreements for larger organizations.
Most standard proxies use SSL termination, where they unwrap your data at the edge, inspect it, and then re-encrypt it.
QuotaGuard Shield uses SSL Passthrough, meaning we route your packets based on SNI headers without ever opening them. Your data is never "visible" to our infrastructure.
Yes.
The same SSL Passthrough and zero-knowledge architecture that makes us HIPAA compliant also satisfies the strict data transmission requirements for PCI-DSS.
This is ideal for healthcare applications that also handle patient payment information.
Under the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, any subcontractors we use that may have incidental contact with our infrastructure must also adhere to the same stringent data protection standards.
QuotaGuard ensures that all relevant downstream service providers (such as our primary cloud infrastructure partners) have signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with us, extending the chain of trust and legal accountability throughout our entire service stack.
To satisfy the HIPAA Audit Control requirement, we maintain detailed logs of all administrative actions and connection attempts.
These logs include timestamps, source IP addresses, and destination endpoints, providing a comprehensive record of how your application interacts with the network.
Logs are retained in accordance with HIPAA's six-year record-keeping standards, ensuring you have the data necessary for periodic internal or external compliance reviews.
In the event of a suspected security incident or data breach, QuotaGuard follows a documented Incident Response Plan.
As your Business Associate, we are contractually and legally required to notify you of any verified breach of unencrypted ePHI in a timely manner, often significantly faster than the 60-day federal maximum, to ensure you can meet your own notification obligations to patients and regulatory bodies.
We don’t outsource Support to non-Engineers.
