|---|---|
Encryption in Transit | TLS 1.3 for all data transmission |
Encryption at Rest | AES-256 encryption for stored data |
Access Controls | Role-based access with unique user identification |
Audit Logging | Complete audit trails for all data access and modifications |
Authentication | Multi-factor authentication available for all accounts |
Session Management | Automatic session timeout after inactivity |
Administrative Safeguards
Designated security officer responsible for HIPAA compliance
Workforce security training and access management procedures

Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
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
