title: Hipaa Compliant Server
body: <p>I have an instance in Amazon EC2 and need to be Hipaa compliant. I have two doubts,</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Should I need to do a block level encryption of the database storage.</li>
  <li>Should I need to encrypt sensitive data before storing in the database.</li>
  <li>Best database software to handle with the encryption</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any help will be highly appreciable,</p>
  
  <p>Thank You.</p>
