AES-256 Encryption at Rest
All stored healthcare data is protected with AES-256 encryption. Encryption keys are managed via AWS KMS for full key lifecycle control.
TLS 1.2+ Encryption in Transit
All data transmitted between services and users is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher, ensuring end-to-end protection of ePHI in transit.
AWS KMS-Managed Keys
Encryption keys are centrally managed through AWS Key Management Service, providing automated rotation, access control, and full audit trails.
AWS CloudTrail API Logging
All API activity within the HIPAA environment is logged via AWS CloudTrail, providing a full audit trail of access and operational events.
AWS CloudWatch Monitoring
Real-time monitoring and alerting via AWS CloudWatch ensures proactive detection of anomalies, threats, and performance issues.
Segregated HIPAA AWS Environment
The healthcare infrastructure is fully isolated from non-healthcare accounts — a dedicated, segregated AWS environment exclusively for ePHI workloads.
