Security & Compliance

Enterprise-Grade Protection for Your Diagnostic Data

At EthosMED, we understand that medical imaging infrastructure is the backbone of clinical decision-making, and protecting patient health information (PHI) is paramount. Our platform is engineered from the ground up with a security-first architecture, ensuring your data remains protected, your workflows remain compliant, and your institution retains absolute data sovereignty.

Global Compliance Standards

We build our technology to meet and exceed the stringent regulatory requirements of global healthcare environments.

  • HIPAA Ready: Our architecture supports the technical safeguards mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), ensuring PHI is protected throughout the entire diagnostic lifecycle.

  • GDPR Aligned: Designed with data minimization and secure localization principles to support General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance for European and international deployments.

  • Comprehensive Audit Logging: Every system interaction—from user logins and study views to metadata modifications and study exports—is rigorously tracked. Our comprehensive audit trails ensure complete accountability and simplify compliance reporting.

Zero-Trust Architecture & Encryption

We treat patient data as highly sensitive at every tier of the network, whether deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or via hybrid edge nodes.

  • End-to-End Encryption: All DICOM pixel data, patient metadata, and clinical reports are fully encrypted both at rest (within the database and storage volumes) and in transit (via secure HTTPS/TLS protocols).

  • Secure Anonymization Engine: Before routing studies to external researchers or third-party teleradiology groups, our automated rule sets strip or morph protected health information according to strict de-identification protocols.

  • Protected Data Sovereignty: For institutions requiring total control, our platform can be deployed 100% offline in a fully air-gapped, on-premise environment.

Granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Not every user needs access to every study. EthosMED’s comprehensive User Rights Management engine provides administrators with exact control over who sees what.

  • Precision Permissions: Administrators can define access down to the individual page, specific modality, or individual clinic level.

  • Multi-Tenant Isolation: Ensure absolute data separation between different hospitals, clinics, or reading groups operating on a single shared deployment.

  • Dynamic Study Ownership: Securely assign or lock specific cases to individual radiologists, ensuring a clear chain of custody during the reporting process.

  • Time-Expiring Sharing Links: When sharing studies externally with referring physicians, our platform automatically generates encrypted, zero-footprint web links with strict, customizable expiration dates.

Network Resiliency & Secure Routing

Security also means ensuring your data is available when you need it, without exposing your network to external threats.

  • Isolated Microservices: Our AI models and database engines are deployed as isolated Docker containers. This limits exposure and ensures high system stability during heavy clinical loads.

  • Secure DICOM Nodes: We provide total control over your DICOM environment. Administrators must explicitly whitelist external modalities, configure specific AET and Port permissions, and can perform live echo testing directly from the admin panel.
