Security & Data

Security should follow the sensitivity of the information.

Security is designed around the sensitivity of healthcare information and the responsibility of the person using it. This page explains Tibacare's public security principles without exposing configurations that could weaken them.

Layered protection

Security is a system of connected controls.

No single control carries the whole responsibility. Identity, access, infrastructure, monitoring, recovery and accountable operation work together across the service.

Identity & access

Access requires more than being part of Tibacare.

Tibacare separates patient, clinician and operations access. Clinician and operations access uses multi-factor authentication in staging and production, with role and permission controls appropriate to those privileged areas.

Authentication is followed by permission and resource checks. A clinician is limited to assigned consultations and other authorised resources; operations users do not receive clinical-record access by default. Exceptional elevated access must be justified, limited and auditable.

Sessions & web protection

Each application boundary has its own session controls.

Tibacare applications use host-only session cookies so credentials are not deliberately shared across unrelated subdomains. Mutating application requests use cross-site request-forgery protections, and privileged sessions use stricter controls than ordinary public browsing.

The public marketing website does not request access to a visitor's camera, microphone or location. It also applies browser-facing protections against content-type confusion, framing and unnecessary referrer disclosure.

Encryption & secrets

Sensitive information and credentials are handled through separate controls.

Public application traffic uses HTTPS, database connections require transport encryption, and the approved Azure services provide encryption at rest for core database, storage and secret-management services.

Application secrets are held in Azure Key Vault and supplied to authorised workloads through managed identities and secret references. Routine application access to private file storage also uses managed identity rather than embedded storage keys.

Infrastructure & separation

Core services are separated by environment and purpose.

Tibacare's approved core production architecture uses UK Azure regions. Production and non-production environments are separated, and file containers used for uploads, documents and operational recovery are private rather than anonymously accessible.

UK hosting is a location control, not a claim that authorised international access can never occur. Any new country, supplier or material access route remains subject to the applicable security, privacy and transfer review.

This public website is hosted separately, in Microsoft's West Europe region.

Monitoring & audit

Security-relevant activity should leave useful evidence.

Tibacare uses application and platform monitoring, service health checks, alerts and audit records to support detection, investigation and accountability. Relevant database, infrastructure and secret-management events feed the monitoring environment.

Operational logging is designed to retain useful context such as correlation, route, status and audit events while redacting authentication secrets, session tokens, passwords and other sensitive credential material.

Resilience & recovery

Protection also means being able to recover safely.

The infrastructure uses database backup and point-in-time recovery capabilities together with storage soft deletion and versioning where applicable. Recovery procedures include validation rather than treating the existence of a backup as proof that restoration will succeed.

A staging database restore drill has been completed successfully. Recovery arrangements remain environment-specific and are reviewed as the service and operating scale change; this page does not promise zero data loss or uninterrupted availability.

Incident response

Security events require containment, recovery and learning.

Tibacare maintains defined processes for identifying, classifying, containing, investigating and recovering from platform, security and privacy incidents. The process includes evidence preservation, access or secret revocation where necessary, communication and post-incident improvement.

Clinical-safety, safeguarding, payment and privacy concerns may require parallel specialist escalation. Platform operations does not replace clinical judgement, professional regulation or the responsibilities of the relevant data controller.

Security before activation

Being technically possible is not permission to go live.

Material change is reviewed against the information, people, service and countries involved. A feature stays unavailable where its required governance or production gate has not passed.

New capabilities

Material uses of health information, integrations and automated capabilities require security and privacy screening before activation.

Recording and AI

Recording, speech-to-text and AI documentation capabilities are production-refused for real-patient use until their separate governance gates are approved.

Suppliers and countries

A new supplier, processing location or international access route must be assessed for its defined service, access and data boundary.

Honest assurance

Trust depends on saying what the evidence supports.

Security language should be specific, current and proportionate. Broad promises can obscure the controls and responsibilities that actually matter.

  • No technology service can honestly promise that security risk is zero.
  • Tibacare does not claim a certification, accreditation or independent penetration-test outcome on this page unless it has been separately verified and approved for publication.
  • UK core hosting is not described as proof that information can never be accessed internationally.
  • Detailed configurations, credentials, vulnerability information and response procedures are not published on a marketing page.
  • A public Subprocessor Register is not currently published; supplier-specific assurance remains subject to its own evidence and publication gate.

Questions and concerns

Security concerns should reach the right responsible team.

If you believe information or an account may be at risk, contact us so the concern can be directed for security, privacy, operational or clinical review as appropriate.

Healthcare organisations and procurement teams may require more detailed assurance during due diligence or contracting. Evidence is shared at an appropriate level and subject to its sensitivity, current verification and the specific service being assessed.
