Certifications & standards

Independently verified, every year

Our security posture is validated not just by our own engineers, but by independent auditors who assess our controls against the most rigorous healthcare standards.

Self-attested

HIPAA-Aligned

Built to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. PHI is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256); application-layer field encryption of resident demographics is rolling out. Access is role-based with strict per-facility isolation and audit logging.

  • PHI encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) + at rest (AES-256)
  • Application-layer field encryption rolling out
  • Audit logging on PHI changes (read logging rolling out)
  • Self-serve BAA, countersigned within one business day
In progress — Q4 2026

SOC 2 Type II

A 12-month SOC 2 Type II observation period is in flight with an AICPA-licensed auditor, covering all five Trust Service Criteria. A Type I report is available now on request under NDA; the Type II attestation is expected Q4 2026.

  • Independent AICPA-licensed auditor

  • US data centres: AWS us-east-1 + us-west-2
  • EU data residency available for Enterprise customers
  • No cross-region data transfer without explicit consent
  • Region selection locked at account creation
