Security & Compliance

HIPAA Compliant Home Health Software

Full compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule.

AES-256 Encryption

All PHI encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM — the gold standard in data encryption.

Per-Tenant Isolation

Each agency gets a dedicated database. Your data is never commingled with other agencies.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every access, modification, and disclosure of PHI is logged and available for audit review.

Role-Based Access

Granular permission controls ensure users only access information relevant to their role.

SOC 2 Infrastructure

Hosted on Microsoft Azure with SOC 2 Type II certified data centers.

How We Protect PHI

Comprehensive HIPAA Security Safeguards

CareLX implements administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that meet or exceed HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

Data Encryption & Secure Transmission

CareLX encrypts all Protected Health Information using industry-leading encryption standards to prevent unauthorized access at every point.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption for all data at rest, including SSN, banking information, and medical records
  • TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit between clients and servers
  • Encrypted database connections and secure API endpoints
  • Encryption key management following NIST guidelines
  • Regular cryptographic assessment and key rotation procedures

Multi-Tenant Database Isolation

Unlike shared-database platforms, CareLX uses a one-database-per-agency architecture that provides absolute data isolation between tenants.

  • Each agency's PHI stored in a completely separate PostgreSQL database
  • Tenant resolution through JWT claims — impossible to access another agency's data
  • Catalog database for tenant metadata contains zero PHI
  • Database-level access controls in addition to application-level controls
  • Isolated backup and restore per tenant for disaster recovery

Access Controls & Authentication

CareLX implements comprehensive access controls to ensure that only authorized individuals can access Protected Health Information.

  • Role-based access control (RBAC) with granular permissions per feature
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) support for all user accounts
  • OAuth 2.0 integration with Google and Microsoft for enterprise SSO
  • Session management with configurable idle timeout and automatic lockout
  • IP-based access restrictions and device trust policies

Audit Trail & PHI Access Logging

Every interaction with Protected Health Information is logged in an immutable audit trail designed for Joint Commission and HIPAA compliance.

  • Immutable append-only audit log — records cannot be modified or deleted
  • Tracks: who accessed PHI, what was accessed, when, and from where
  • PHI-specific logging middleware captures all access to sensitive fields
  • SSN and banking data access logged separately with enhanced detail
  • Audit reports exportable for compliance reviews and Joint Commission audits

Breach Detection & Response

CareLX maintains comprehensive breach detection capabilities and a documented incident response plan in compliance with the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule.

  • Real-time monitoring for suspicious access patterns and anomalies
  • Documented incident response procedures with defined escalation paths
  • Breach notification to covered entities within 30 days of discovery
  • Cooperation with agency breach notification obligations under 45 CFR §§164.404-408
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning

Administrative & Physical Safeguards

Beyond technical controls, CareLX maintains comprehensive administrative policies and physical safeguards to protect PHI.

  • Employee security training and HIPAA awareness programs
  • Background checks for all personnel with PHI access
  • Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with all subcontractors
  • Microsoft Azure physical data center security with 24/7 monitoring
  • Annual risk assessments and security policy reviews
