Enterprise Data Protection | Health Secure™ by Hart

Secure, Govern, and Trust Your Healthcare Data

Healthcare data accessibility starts with trust. The United States reported cyberattacks impacting 78% of healthcare organizations surveyed, with an average breach cost reaching $11 million per incident, primarily driven by ransomware attacks 1.

As health systems, payers, and research organizations expand their use of digital data, the risks associated with security, compliance, and data loss grow exponentially. HealthSecure™ is Hart’s enterprise-grade data protection and governance solution designed specifically for the realities of modern healthcare IT environments.

Built on the Hart Platform, HealthSecure™ delivers a secure, compliant foundation for backing up, governing, and auditing clinical and financial data across EHRs and downstream systems. Whether used as a one-time backup or as part of a recurring disaster recovery strategy, HealthSecure™ ensures your data is protected, recoverable, and fully auditable.

Purpose-Built for Healthcare Compliance

Generic data backup tools were not designed to meet the regulatory complexity of healthcare. HealthSecure™ is engineered to align with HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, CMS, ONC, and state-level mandates from day one.

Key compliance capabilities include:

End-to-end encryption for data at rest and in motion
Role-based access controls with granular permissions
Immutable audit trails documenting every access, transformation, and retrieval event
Automated retention policies mapped to regulatory requirements

These capabilities allow organizations to confidently unify sensitive patient data without compromising privacy or regulatory posture.

Secure EHR Backup Without Operational Burden

HealthSecure™ integrates directly with source EHRs and databases using Hart’s Universal Adapter technology. This configuration-driven approach enables secure data extraction without custom coding or disruption to clinical workflows.

Organizations can:

Perform full baseline backups of EHR data
Schedule recurring incremental updates
Capture both structured and unstructured data
Preserve clinical, financial, and operational context

All backups are maintained within Hart’s secure infrastructure, protected by layered security controls including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data loss prevention technologies.

Governance Embedded Into the Platform

Unlike traditional backup solutions, HealthSecure™ embeds governance directly into the data lifecycle. Every data element is tracked from source to storage with full lineage visibility.

This governance framework enables:

Rapid response to audits and compliance inquiries
Confidence in data provenance and integrity
Simplified legal hold and eDiscovery workflows

HealthSecure™ transforms backup from a passive insurance policy into an active governance asset.

Designed for Enterprise Scale

Healthcare enterprises operate at scale across multiple facilities, EHRs, and vendor ecosystems. HealthSecure™ is fully distributed and architected to scale horizontally, supporting:

Multi-hospital health systems
Payer organizations with complex data sources
Academic medical centers and research networks

As data volumes grow, performance remains consistent without re-architecting or system replacement.

Business Impact

Organizations using HealthSecure™ achieve:

Reduced risk of data loss and downtime
Lower audit preparation costs
Increased confidence in enterprise data accessibility
A secure foundation for downstream migration, integration, and analytics initiatives

HealthSecure™ is not just protection, it is governance engineered for modern healthcare.
