    Health

    Clinical software and its security, in production.

    The clinical software we deliver runs in Australian regions, so health privacy obligations are our daily work.

    Some of the health systems we build and run.

    What the sector is facing.

    Health

    What you carry, and what we do about it.

    Health information is sensitive information under the Privacy Act.

    • Privacy Act and the APPs

      Clinical records carry the strictest collection, use and disclosure rules in the Privacy Act.

      We map the data you hold and where it lives, and review the gaps against the Australian Privacy Principles.

    • Clinical software

      Clinical software carries clinical obligations: access discipline, auditability, and data that never crosses tenants.

      We build multi-tenant clinical software with tenant isolation enforced in the database and tamper-evident audit trails throughout.

    • Data kept in Australia

      Australian health data is expected to stay in Australian regions, and you will be asked to prove it.

      Our health workloads run on Azure in Australian regions, with credentials held outside the code and every release through a reviewed pipeline.

    • Seeing an attack underway

      When something goes wrong the questions are immediate: who touched the record, when, and would you see an attack underway?

      We review your logging and alerting coverage, write an incident response playbook your team can run, and pressure-test it with a tabletop exercise.

    Questions, answered.

    Do you keep health data in Australia?

    Yes. Health workloads run on Azure in Australian regions.

    What does the Privacy Act ask of a practice’s systems?

    Health information is sensitive information under the Australian Privacy Principles, with the strictest collection, use and disclosure rules in the Act, and a breach likely to cause serious harm must be assessed and notified under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. We map the data you hold and where it lives, and review the gaps against the APPs.

    Do you build clinical software?

    Yes. We build multi-tenant clinical software with tenant isolation enforced in the database and tamper-evident audit trails throughout, and the clinical app we run for private hospital specialists is live on iOS, Android and the web.

    Would we see an attack on our systems while it is underway?

    We review your logging and alerting coverage, write an incident response playbook your team can run, and pressure-test it with a tabletop exercise.
