Overview
Runpod supports HIPAA/GDPR-compliant infrastructure options for both Serverless and Pods.
Customers can use built-in filtering tools to find GPUs that are eligible for compliance-focused workloads, depending on the service they are using. This article explains how to locate those GPUs and outlines Runpod’s policy for signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Data Processing Agreement (DPA), or other custom legal agreements.

Do You Need a BAA with Runpod?
If your organization needs Runpod to sign a BAA, DPA, or another custom legal agreement, there are specific eligibility requirements to keep in mind.
Runpod policy for custom agreements:
Execution of custom legal agreements, including:
- BAAs
- DPAs
- bespoke or custom contract terms
is reserved for customers with a committed monthly spend of $3,000 or more.
This threshold reflects the legal and executive resources required to support negotiation, custom risk allocation, and ongoing agreement management.
If your projected usage is $3,000/month or more
If your expected monthly spend meets or exceeds this threshold, Runpod would be happy to explore a formal agreement with you.
To help the team route your request properly, be prepared to share:
- your projected monthly spend
- your intended use case
- whether you require a BAA, DPA, or both
- your expected deployment timeline
If your projected usage is below $3,000/month
If you are not yet at that threshold, the fastest way to get started is under Runpod’s standard terms.
Runpod maintains a robust compliance program, and the resources below may address your requirements without the need for a separately negotiated agreement.
