The Data Protection Act (Sections 41–42, General Regulations 2021) mandates encryption, access controls, audit logging, and backups for personal data. Servercore delivers all four at the infrastructure layer.
Standards
ISO 27001, PCI DSS 4.0.1, GDPR, DPA 2019. In-country hosting supports the safeguards and in-country storage many facilities choose for sensitive health data under the Digital Health Act 2023.

FAQ
Can Kenyan hospitals store patient data outside the country?
Health data is classified as sensitive personal data under the Data Protection Act 2019, and the Digital Health Act 2023 governs how it’s held and transferred. Under the Act, transferring personal data abroad requires proof of adequate safeguards, and moving sensitive data, which includes health data, out of Kenya requires each patient’s consent. Hosting in Kenya removes both burdens by keeping data in-country.
What does the Digital Health Act 2023 require for hosting health data?
The Act (No. 15 of 2023) established the Digital Health Agency and a comprehensive integrated health information system, with standards for privacy, security, and secure exchange of health data. Servercore provides ISO 27001- and PCI DSS-certified in-country infrastructure that supports those requirements. Certification of the HMIS software itself sits with your software vendor.
Is a certified HMIS mandatory for SHA contracting?
Yes. SHA requires providers to use a DHA-certified HMIS connected to the national digital health infrastructure to join the 2026/28 contracting cycle, with the compliance deadline extended to 30 September 2026. Servercore hosts the infrastructure your certified HMIS/EMR runs on.
Do hospitals need to register with the ODPC?
Yes. Health administration and patient care is on the ODPC list of activities that must register as a data controller or processor, regardless of turnover or headcount, with a certificate valid for 24 months. Registration is your facility’s responsibility. Servercore provides the certified infrastructure your registered operations run on.
Can we keep our existing systems and still meet data residency?
Yes. In a hybrid setup you keep your on-prem or existing systems and connect them to Servercore’s Nairobi cloud over a private channel (Global Router or Direct Connect), placing only the data that must stay in Kenya in-country.
What certifications should a healthcare hosting provider have?
Look for a Tier III facility, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. Servercore’s Nairobi data center is Tier III with ISO 27001 and PCI DSS 4.0.1, and complies with DPA 2019 and GDPR.
Who is responsible for DPA 2019 compliance, the hospital or Servercore?
Your facility is the data controller and stays responsible for lawful processing, consent, DPIAs, and audit readiness. Servercore acts as a data processor providing certified in-country infrastructure. It’s a shared model, not a transfer of responsibility.
