Overview
HIPAA Vault is the trading name of Etica Inc., a company in San Marcos, California, founded in 1997 by Gil Vidals. It sells fully managed hosting built around HIPAA compliance. Its services include managed HIPAA Linux and Windows hosting, WordPress and WooCommerce hosting, custom enterprise systems, and Google Cloud and AI services. It also sells secure office tools: HIPAA forms, Office 365 and Gmail email, secure fax and texting, and sFTP servers. Every HIPAA service comes with a Business Associate Agreement. The company also offers penetration testing for systems it does not manage. It suits medical and dental practices, clinics, and healthcare software vendors that lack in-house compliance or server staff. It is a weaker fit for developers who want self-service cloud resources. Pricing is mostly quoted and billed month to month, and an Essentials bundle carries a 15 percent discount. The vendor's own comparison page cites starting prices from about $99 to $500 per month, and one independent 2026 roundup puts managed hosting at roughly $400 to $600 per month. The figures conflict, so buyers should get a quote. Linux plans include onsite and offsite backups. Isolated servers and web application firewalls cost extra. The company lists Google Cloud and Microsoft partnerships. Its main limitation is a much smaller infrastructure footprint than the hyperscale clouds, with no published self-service API, Kubernetes, or serverless offering. Independent reviews are also few and mostly sit on Clutch.
