AI in Healthcare Masterclass
Build healthcare products that meet GDPR data protection requirements from the architecture level. Data residency, encryption, consent management, and patient rights built into your product for European and cross-border markets.

Data residency controls, encryption at rest and in transit, consent management, and purpose limitation built into your application architecture from the start. GDPR requirements are addressed at the design stage, across every layer of the application.
Right to access, deletion, data portability, and consent withdrawal built as core application features. Every data operation logged with audit trails covering GDPR accountability requirements across all processing activities.
Products operating across US and European markets require both HIPAA and GDPR compliance. We build unified architecture that satisfies both frameworks: overlapping controls mapped once, maintained in a single infrastructure layer, without duplicate systems or separate compliance overhead.
Continuous GDPR compliance monitoring and automated evidence collection through our Vanta partnership. Data protection controls, consent management, access policies, and encryption verified automatically across your infrastructure. Covers 50+ regulatory frameworks, so teams managing HIPAA and GDPR together can map overlapping controls from a single platform.

GDPR applies to any software that processes personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area. Health data is classified as a "special category" under GDPR, requiring explicit consent and additional safeguards. This includes patient records, health monitoring data, wearable device data, and any information that reveals a person's physical or mental health condition. If your healthcare product serves European users, GDPR compliance is mandatory.
HIPAA applies to Protected Health Information (PHI) in the US healthcare system and governs covered entities and business associates. GDPR applies to all personal data of EU residents, with health data as a special category requiring higher protection. Key differences: GDPR requires explicit consent for health data processing, grants broader individual rights (data portability, right to be forgotten), and applies regardless of the processor's location. HIPAA focuses on technical safeguards and business associate agreements. Products serving both markets need to satisfy both frameworks.
We design infrastructure with data residency controls that keep personal data within required geographic boundaries. For European healthcare products, this typically means EU-based cloud regions (AWS eu-central, eu-west, Google Cloud europe-west, Azure West Europe). Data processing agreements, sub-processor documentation, and cross-border transfer mechanisms (Standard Contractual Clauses) are built into the architecture and vendor agreements.
Yes. We build unified compliance architecture that satisfies both HIPAA and GDPR requirements. The technical controls largely overlap: encryption, access controls, audit logging, and breach notification. The key additions for dual compliance are GDPR-specific consent management, individual rights implementation (deletion, portability), data residency controls, and documentation that maps to both regulatory frameworks.
We implement the full set of GDPR individual rights as application features: right of access (patients can export their data), right to erasure (secure deletion workflows), right to data portability (structured, machine-readable data export), right to restrict processing, and right to withdraw consent. Each right has an audited workflow with logging that satisfies GDPR accountability requirements.
GDPR requires "appropriate technical and organisational measures" for healthcare data security. We implement: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, role-based access controls, comprehensive audit logging, data pseudonymization where applicable, regular security assessments, and breach detection with the 72-hour notification requirement built into monitoring. Our GDPR compliance services include security architecture review, penetration testing coordination, and ongoing vulnerability management.
Yes. Through our partnership with Vanta, a compliance automation platform, we provide continuous GDPR compliance monitoring for our clients. Vanta integrates with cloud providers, identity systems, and development tools to verify data protection controls automatically: encryption status, access policies, data residency configuration, and audit logging. Evidence is collected continuously rather than assembled before audits. This covers GDPR alongside approximately 50 other frameworks, so clients operating across HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 can manage compliance from a single platform.
