Security governance approach
We conduct rigorous risk assessments to pinpoint vulnerabilities, followed by implementing mitigation strategies. Role-based access and multi-factor authentication restrict unauthorized access. Encryption protocols safeguard data in transit and at rest, with SSL certificates fortifying client-server communication. Stringent security policies encompass data handling and incident response, reinforced by regular training. Real-time monitoring and audits uphold compliance, while vendor scrutiny ensures third-party security alignment. A structured incident response plan coupled with backups ensures swift recovery. Continuous improvement involves staying abreast of emerging threats, with periodic security assessments fortifying defences.
Information security policies and processes
Our information security framework encompasses a range of policies and processes designed to safeguard data and systems. We adhere to strict access control policies, implementing role-based access controls and regular access reviews. Data encryption protocols are enforced for sensitive information in transit and at rest. Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing ensure the integrity of our systems. Incident response plans outline procedures for detecting, containing, and mitigating security breaches.
Reporting structure involves a dedicated security team overseen by our Director of Finance and Operations who reports to senior management. Additionally, we conduct regular audits and assessments to evaluate policy adherence. Employees receive comprehensive training on security policies and procedures, with ongoing awareness campaigns to reinforce best practices. Compliance monitoring tools track policy enforcement and flag deviations for review. Regular security reviews and management meetings ensure alignment with evolving threats and industry standards. Through these measures, we maintain a robust security posture and foster a culture of vigilance throughout the organisation.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
We have a code review system where any change is first reviewed by the team. We manually review the code for security and performance issues. The changes are then deployed to a staging server where we do smoke testing and the QA. Once everything looks good, the changes are deployed to production servers. The code changes are tracked through git and infrastructure changes are not tracked at the moment.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
We use AWS Vulnerability Management processes which meet exacting client requirements in secure and sensitive, compliance-driven environments, using best in class threat definition resources internally and externally.
Operating system patches are applied automatically server side when published by the vendor. Bug fixing brought to or attention by customers are investigated and expedited as quickly as possible and implemented out of hours to mitigate impact on the customers service.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use logs, APM and error reporting tools to be notified of any potential threats. We then triage and fix the issues and deploy them to production as soon as possible.

Fighting climate change

Healthdaq pledges to combat climate change through a comprehensive array of initiatives aimed at reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
Energy Efficiency: We prioritise energy efficiency by conducting thorough audits to identify areas for improvement. Implementing measures such as optimised lighting, energy-efficient appliances, and smart HVAC controls will minimize energy consumption, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable Energy Adoption: Transitioning to renewable energy sources is a key focus. Healthdaq will invest in onsite renewable energy infrastructure such as solar panels. Additionally, we'll explore partnerships for procuring green power, significantly reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Waste Reduction and Recycling: We implement comprehensive recycling programs, encouraging employees to segregate waste and adopt reusable packaging. These efforts will divert waste from landfills and conserve natural resources.
Sustainable Transportation: We promote sustainable commuting options like public transit incentives, carpooling programs, and remote work arrangements. Transitioning our corporate fleet to electric or hybrid vehicles will further reduce emissions.
Stakeholder Engagement and Advocacy: When engaging with stakeholders, we raise awareness about climate issues and encourage sustainable practices. Advocating for climate-friendly policies at all levels, we support initiatives promoting renewable energy adoption and environmental conservation.
By integrating these initiatives into our operations, Healthdaq demonstrates its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. These proactive steps not only mitigate environmental risks but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future.
