SecureDB

Keep PHI Protected—Even After Access Is Granted.

SecureDB gives hospital security teams persistent, policy-driven protection for patient data across EHR, clinical, billing and research databases, whether they run on-premises, in the cloud or in hybrid environments. It works without re-architecting clinical applications or slowing down care teams.

Protect PHI Across Every Major Database

Persistent PHI Protection

Keep patient data encrypted at rest, in use and as it moves between systems.

Need-to-Know Access Control

Enforce least-privilege access by clinical role, team and context.

Real-Time Policy Enforcement

Block clear-text PHI from unauthorized users and compromised accounts.

Audit-Ready Visibility

Log every access to PHI for investigations, audits and compliance reporting.

Protect PHI Across Your Clinical Data Ecosystem

OnData secures patient data at the data layer, both in motion and at rest, across EHR, clinical, billing and research systems. It requires no changes to applications or clinical workflows.

  1. A clinician, application or vendor requests patient data
  2. OnData intercepts the request and enforces access policy
  3. PHI is decrypted in real time, only for authorized users
  4. Everyone else sees encrypted values, never clear PHI

Perimeter controls can't protect PHI once access is granted.

Most hospitals already encrypt storage, secure connections, manage user permissions and monitor infrastructure. Those controls are necessary. But they don't protect patient data once a credential is compromised, a privileged account is misused or a downstream system pulls the data.

The risk grows as PHI moves beyond the EHR. Patient records get copied into clinical data warehouses, research environments, revenue-cycle systems, analytics platforms and vendor integrations. Development teams need realistic data for testing. Researchers need to link records without seeing who the patients are. Compliance teams need proof that PHI stays protected in every environment.

SecureDB protects sensitive patient fields before those data movements create exposure.

Runtime encryption that follows patient data

SecureDB uses OnData's patented runtime encryption and access management technology to protect PHI beyond standard encryption at rest and in transit. Patient identifiers, diagnoses and payer data stay encrypted as they move through EHR databases, applications, ETL pipelines, data warehouses and analytics environments.

Authorized clinicians and applications see the original data when policy allows. Unauthorized users, compromised accounts and downstream systems see only encrypted values. That limits the damage a breach can do while keeping care delivery, record linking and analytics working.

How SecureDB Protects PHI

  1. Identify PHI: Security and data teams map which database fields hold patient identifiers, diagnoses, payer data and other regulated information.
  2. Classify and apply rules: Teams classify fields and set protection policies by data type, clinical role, business use and HIPAA requirements.
  3. Encrypt PHI: SecureDB applies runtime encryption that protects patient data while EHR and clinical workflows keep running.
  4. Enforce need-to-know access: Identity-based authorization ensures only approved clinicians, staff and systems see clear PHI.
  5. Support downstream use: Protected data can flow into ETL, reporting, research, test and data warehouse environments without exposing patient identities.
  6. Audit PHI access: Access activity is logged to support internal monitoring, breach investigations and HIPAA compliance reporting.
