Because DVS Backup may provide remote backup services to businesses that could be considered "covered entities" under HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996), we have security practices in place to ensure they remain compliant while using our service.

Data  transferred to our servers by the DVS Backup client, uses SSL encryption  with a password and security validation chosen by, and known only to, the covered entity. DVS Backup has no access to these passwords or security validations. Additionally all data is stored in a fully encrypted zone. Any data restored through our secure client is  encrypted using  SSL on top of the already used encryption method to store the data.

• All of our servers are located in secured and monitored data centers with access restrictions in place.
• For extra redundancy, the encrypted data is duplicated to at least one or more other servers located in a separate data center.
