Security

Enterprise-grade security for healthcare data.

Patient data deserves the highest level of protection. Our security architecture is built from the ground up with NHS requirements in mind.

Medelic is in development. The statuses below are current and will be updated as each assessment completes.

Our Approach

Security by design

Security isn't bolted on to Medelic - it's fundamental to how we build. Every architectural decision, from database design to API structure, considers security implications first.

We apply the principle of least privilege throughout our systems. Access to patient data is controlled by role-based permissions, and key actions are logged. No one at Medelic can access patient information without explicit authorisation and a valid clinical or operational reason.

We review every code change and scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities on every build. Independent penetration testing and a bug bounty programme are planned.

EncryptionIn Place

Data encrypted in transit (TLS, HTTPS enforced). Patient MFA secrets and clinical system credentials encrypted at rest (AES-256). HSM-backed key management is planned.

UK HostingIn Place

The Medelic API and database are hosted on AWS in London, UK. A documented data residency review across storage and sub-processors is planned.

Continuous MonitoringPlanned

24/7 security monitoring with automated threat detection and response. Real-time alerting for suspicious activity.

Data Protection

How we protect patient data

Data Minimisation

We only collect and process data that's necessary for the clinical purpose. A retention job removes data once its retention period has passed, with a deletion log. Scheduled runs are coming soon.

  • Purpose-limited collection
  • Retention rules with a deletion log
  • Secure deletion procedures

Access Controls

Strict role-based access controls ensure only authorised personnel can access patient data, with audit trails of key actions.

  • Role-based permissions
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Session management

Audit Logging

Audit logs record key actions, including authorisation decisions, configuration changes and patient record changes, for compliance and investigation purposes.

  • Searchable audit trails
  • Actor, outcome and source IP recorded
  • Forensic analysis capability
