Security & privacy

Designed with privacy and security in mind

Behavioral-health data deserves engineering that assumes scrutiny. This page describes what the platform does technically — and is candid about what remains your responsibility and what requires contractual review.

Encryption

TLS for every connection — the platform refuses to run without HTTPS in production. Encrypted storage volumes at rest. Backups encrypted with keys held outside the server.

Authentication & sessions

Hashed credentials (bcrypt — no one, including us, can read a PIN). Short-lived sessions with instant revocation, forced credential changes on first sign-in, automatic idle screen-lock, and progressive lockout against guessing.

Role-based access

Minimum-necessary visibility by role and unit. Facility staff can never see another facility; platform operators cannot browse clinical records through any built interface.

Data isolation

Every facility's data lives in a physically separate database. Sessions are cryptographically bound to their facility — a credential from one is rejected by every other, structurally.

Audit trails

Clinical records are append-only; corrections reference the original. Every sign-in, observation, change, and alert is attributed and timestamped.

Privacy in notifications

Lock screens are public. By default, alerts identify rooms, not names — including client names requires an explicit administrative decision.

Infrastructure

Hardened single-purpose servers: minimal exposed ports, no direct application access except through TLS termination, instance-metadata protections, and health monitoring.

Backups

Automatic nightly encrypted backups, per facility, synced off-server. Per-facility restore — one organization's recovery never touches another's data.

Privacy-conscious analytics

This website uses count-based analytics only: no advertising trackers, no cross-site identifiers, and never any information about clients or care.

The honest part: shared responsibility

Security claims in healthcare software are frequently oversold. Here is the accurate division:

What the platform provides

  • The technical safeguards above, maintained and monitored.
  • A Business Associate Agreement for covered entities — see BAA information.
  • Incident-response preparation: monitoring, alerting, and a documented response process.

What remains yours

  • Device policy for staff phones (passcodes, OS updates, what happens when someone leaves).
  • Account hygiene: deactivating departed staff, scoping access to units appropriately.
  • Your own privacy policies, consents, and workforce training.
  • Deciding what optional features fit your risk posture (for example, names in notifications or SMS alerts, which traverse carrier networks).
Support Scan does not claim HIPAA compliance as a product badge — no software alone can be "HIPAA compliant." Compliance is a property of your program: technology, agreements, policies, and training together. We provide the technical safeguards and the BAA; the compliance program is built with your privacy officer. LEGAL_REVIEW_REQUIRED.
