Healthcare-Grade Security for Clinical AI

Burna AI is built with healthcare-first architecture, designed for HIPAA compliance from day one. Our CTCAE AI platform processes clinical data through enterprise-grade infrastructure with comprehensive security controls.

HIPAA Compliance

Our Commitment

Burna AI is designed to meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements for covered entities and business associates. We implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI).

Business Associate Agreements

We execute Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all customers and maintain BAAs with our infrastructure providers:

  • Microsoft Azure (Speech Services) — BAA in place, HITRUST certified

  • Cloudflare (Network Security) — BAA available, SOC 2 Type II certified

  • Convex (Database Infrastructure) — SOC 2 Type II certified

Technical Safeguards

Physical Safeguards

Our infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure's U.S.-based data centers, which maintain:

  • SOC 2 Type II certification

  • HITRUST CSF certification

  • ISO 27001 certification

  • Physical access controls and 24/7 monitoring

Data Processing

  1. Audio Input — Voice recordings transmitted via TLS 1.3 encrypted channels

  2. Transcription — Audio processed by Azure Speech Services (HIPAA-eligible, BAA in place)

  3. AI Analysis — Transcribed text analyzed for CTCAE grading with clinical context

  4. Storage — Results stored in encrypted database with access controls

  5. Output — CTCAE grades delivered with full audit logging

What We Do NOT Do

  • We do not sell or share patient data with third parties

  • We do not use patient data for advertising

  • We do not retain audio recordings longer than necessary for processing

  • We do not process data outside of BAA-covered infrastructure
