Healthcare data securitysolutions
The digitalisation of healthcare requires a significant amount of effort to secure Personal Healthcare Information (PHI) while preserving clarity, usability, and extensibility of large-scale hospital systems and wellness mobile apps.
Our solutions and open-source libraries are widely adopted in healthcare: from small mobile apps to large-scale distributed inter-hospital systems.
Healthcare data security challenges
Healthcare compliance demands
Healthcare is a highly regulated industry with specific privacy regulations and compliance demands (HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR/DPB).
High stakes
Data breach costs continue to rise across the healthcare industry, costing organizations nearly $6.5 million on average.
Healthcare data interoperability
The vast available assortment of systems and approaches with unified data formats requires interoperability between them (FHIR).
Security vs usability
B2C-ification of healthcare and "vendor-locked" solutions make it more complicated to control the whole system. Hospitals demand control, while users want flexibility and privacy.
Modern healthcare data security solutions
Usable encryption
End-to-end encryption of patients' data, selective encryption of documents, and management of encrypted fields in PHI/EHR exchange formats across the system.
Defense in depth
Systems that use multi-layered access control and security measures that span across the whole data lifecycle.
Separation of sensitive data
Separation of different data classes (medical data, hospital management data, patient-doctor exchanges), usage of TPMs for sensitive computations.

Transparent-by-design systems
Data encryption and verifiable audit logging allow to see who and when had access to the plaintext data. Demonstrate transparency and trust for your users, regulators and investors.
End-to-end encrypted communications
Whether it's a chat between a patient and a doctor, or a doctor and a caregiver, encrypt all texts and pictures on devices in a way that no one can't accidentally decrypt them.
Traditional application security
We work together with your team to verify and implement application security and data security measures in your apps.
Multi-platform security
We build in security measures that work on every platform: hardware, mobile, web, server-side. Security measures support high load and are easy to maintain.

How we make a difference
Experience in healthcare data security
Our engineers have good knowledge of healthcare standards, hospital management systems and patient applications, from both builders and breakers points of view.
Security customised for your use case
We cater to your specific use case, employing stand-alone security libraries for small apps or build specialised security solutions for the whole infrastructures.
Achieving healthcare compliance
Our solutions are based on data encryption and cryptographic access control to make reaching privacy compliance easier.
Security & usability
We wrap strong cryptographic protection of data into the developer-friendly form. Your developers don't need to know cryptography to protect data using our tools.
Our mission is simple.
We help you focus on serving your customers better, while relieving your team from security engineering pains and making your users confident that their data is safe with you.
