Protecting Patient Data. Enabling Innovation.

Healthtech companies handle some of the most sensitive data in existence — patient health information. The regulatory environment is unforgiving, with HIPAA violations carrying penalties up to $1.9 million per incident category.

The challenge

What makes assurance hard in this sector

Healthcare data regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction. US-focused healthtech companies must comply with HIPAA/HITECH. Companies operating in Abu Dhabi face ADHICS requirements. Dubai Health Authority has its own standards. And all of these must be layered on top of foundational frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
