Under [Article L.1111-8 of the French Public Health Code](https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000049571347), service providers hosting specific types of personal health information must obtain [Hébergeur de Données de Santé (HDS)](https://esante.gouv.fr/produits-services/hds) certification. Established by ASIP Santé, the French Digital Health Agency, HDS sets a framework to enhance the security and protection of PHI. Scaleway Object Storage enables the creation of dedicated buckets for storing health data in accordance with HDS regulatory requirements.

Refer to the [Scaleway Trust Center](https://security.scaleway.com/) for more information.

You can change the bucket visibility at any time from the **Bucket settings** tab.

5. Select a use case for your bucket.
6. Under **HDS certification**, tick the **Tag this bucket as HDS-certified**.
