AlfredCare Security Practices

At AlfredCare, we take the security and privacy of patient data seriously. As a trusted partner in healthcare, our platform is designed from the ground up with robust safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all clinical and billing data. We are fully compliant with HIPAA and continuously evolve our security protocols to meet the highest industry standards.

HIPAA Compliance

AlfredCare is a HIPAA-compliant platform. We enter into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with Covered Entities and process Protected Health Information (PHI) solely within the scope of these agreements. Our HIPAA program is reviewed regularly to reflect current regulatory expectations and emerging threats.

Data Encryption

All data—both in transit and at rest—is encrypted using industry-standard protocols:

  • In Transit: TLS 1.2+ ensures secure transmission between users and our servers.
  • At Rest: All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
  • Access Controls: Role-based access and strict audit trails ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.

Infrastructure and Hosting

AlfredCare is hosted on secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure provided by top-tier service providers. Our platform benefits from:

  • Regular penetration testing and vulnerability scans
  • Geographically redundant backups
  • 99.9% uptime SLAs
  • Secure API gateways and environment segregation between production, staging, and development

Access Controls and Authentication

We enforce strict user authentication and access policies:

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative users
  • Role-based permissions and least-privilege access across the organization
  • Session timeout protocols and IP filtering for added protection

Monitoring and Incident Response

We continuously monitor our systems for suspicious activity. In the event of an incident, AlfredCare maintains a detailed incident response plan that includes:

  • 24/7 threat monitoring and logging
  • Rapid alerting and escalation procedures
  • Communication protocols for clients and regulators
  • Forensic investigation and root cause analysis

Secure Development Practices

Security is integrated throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC):

  • Code reviews and security audits for all releases
  • Static and dynamic code analysis tools in CI/CD pipelines
  • Developer training on secure coding practices
  • Isolation of test environments from production systems

Data Minimization and Retention

AlfredCare applies a data minimization principle, only collecting and retaining the data necessary to deliver and improve the Services. Retention periods are defined in client agreements and comply with HIPAA and local laws.

Third-Party Risk Management

Any third-party service integrated with AlfredCare undergoes a thorough risk assessment and must meet our security and compliance standards. We require sub-processors to sign HIPAA-compliant agreements
