Built compliant, not bolted-on.

HealthSail encrypts all data at rest using AES-256 and in transit via TLS 1.3. Our infrastructure is deployed across HIPAA-compliant, independently audited data centers with automated key rotation and hardware security module (HSM) backed key management.

Every layer of the platform — from the API gateway to the database tier — is hardened against common attack vectors. We conduct quarterly penetration tests and maintain an active vulnerability management program with SLA-bound remediation timelines.

Infrastructure components are isolated using network segmentation, with separate security zones for PHI processing, integration traffic, and administrative access.

Role-based access control (RBAC) is built into the core of HealthSail, allowing you to define granular permissions that map to your organizational structure. The minimum necessary principle is enforced at every access point — users see only the data and actions relevant to their role.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available on all plans and required for administrative actions. Session management includes configurable timeout policies, concurrent session limits, and automatic lockout after failed authentication attempts.

HealthSail maintains a comprehensive, tamper-evident audit trail that records every access event, data modification, and administrative action across the platform. Logs include timestamps, user identity, action type, affected resources, and originating IP address.

Retention policies are configurable to meet your organization's requirements, with a minimum of six years for HIPAA compliance. Audit logs can be exported in standard formats for integration with your existing SIEM or compliance reporting tools.

Real-time alerting surfaces anomalous access patterns — such as bulk data exports or access outside normal hours — to your security team for immediate review.

All data entering HealthSail is automatically classified based on sensitivity level. Protected Health Information (PHI) receives the highest classification tier, with additional encryption, access controls, and monitoring applied automatically.

The platform enforces the minimum necessary standard by default — API responses, UI views, and export functions only include the specific data elements required for the requesting workflow. De-identification capabilities are built-in for analytics and reporting use cases.

Data disposal follows NIST 800-88 guidelines. When data is deleted, it is cryptographically erased and verified, with disposal events recorded in the audit trail.

HealthSail APIs are secured with OAuth 2.0 and support both client credentials and authorization code flows. Every API request is authenticated, authorized, and rate-limited to prevent abuse.

Field-level encryption is available for sensitive data elements within API payloads, ensuring PHI is protected even when traversing integration pipelines. Webhook payloads are signed using HMAC-SHA256 so downstream consumers can verify message authenticity and integrity.

HealthSail operates a 24/7 security operations function with automated breach detection. Our incident response plan follows NIST SP 800-61 and includes defined escalation paths, communication templates, and remediation workflows.

In the event of a security incident, affected customers are notified within the timeframes required by HIPAA and applicable state breach notification laws. Post-incident reviews produce actionable findings that are incorporated into our security roadmap.
