Cloud infrastructure your patients and auditors can both rely on.
Health-tech infrastructure requires more than performance - it requires HIPAA alignment, PHI isolation, comprehensive audit trails, and uptime that matches the criticality of clinical workflows. CirOps engineers this from the ground up, not as a retrofit.

The health-tech infrastructure problem
Health-tech infrastructure needs explicit compliance and reliability controls.
PHI handling requires more than encryption
Protected health information needs encryption at rest and in transit, access controls appropriate to the data model, full audit trails, and data residency that satisfies your BAA counterparties. CirOps engineers these requirements into the cloud foundation.
Uptime is not optional when care depends on it
Clinicians, patients, and care coordinators rely on your platform in real time. A service outage can interrupt revenue and care workflows, and in health-tech it can become a patient-safety risk. Reliability architecture has to be built accordingly.
Compliance is moving faster than your engineering team
HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST - the compliance surface expands as you move up-market. Enterprise health system buyers run vendor security reviews. The controls your auditors will ask for need to be in the infrastructure, not papered over at procurement.
EHR and payer integrations compound infrastructure complexity
HL7 FHIR APIs, HL7 v2 interfaces, payer connections, and pharmacy integrations add state, latency, and error surfaces that don't exist in typical SaaS environments. Infrastructure that doesn't account for these integration patterns breaks at scale.
What we deliver
Infrastructure built to handle PHI - and prove it.
We assess the selected cloud platform against the workload and control requirements. The detailed architecture pattern below reflects our current AWS delivery depth; other cloud environments require a scoped platform and evidence assessment.
HIPAA-aligned AWS architecture
We design multi-account AWS environments with isolation boundaries, encryption configuration, and access controls mapped to the agreed BAA and HIPAA requirements. In-scope PHI workloads can use dedicated accounts with network-level controls, with configuration evidence documented for review.
Comprehensive audit logging and trails
We configure AWS CloudTrail, CloudWatch Logs, VPC Flow Logs, and application telemetry to provide tested infrastructure and application audit coverage for the agreed data paths. Record-level evidence depends on the application events and data flows included in scope.
High-availability architecture for clinical workloads
Multi-AZ or multi-region designs with automated failover, health checks, and runbook-documented recovery procedures. RTO and RPO targets are defined at the start of the engagement and the architecture is tested against them - not assumed.
Secrets and credentials management
Scoped credentials and PHI-adjacent configuration use AWS Secrets Manager or Parameter Store, with access logged and constrained by IAM roles. Delivery checks cover environment files and application repositories for credentials in the agreed scope.
Security posture and vulnerability management
AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, and Inspector configured and alerting on findings that matter. Vulnerability scanning integrated into your CI/CD pipeline at the dependency and container image level. Security findings routed to your team's existing incident workflow.
Compliance documentation and evidence packages
Architecture diagrams, control mapping documents, and security configuration evidence - the artefacts your SOC 2 auditors and enterprise customer security reviews will ask for. Generated from your actual configuration, not from templates.
Compliance
Frameworks we design for.
Process
From architecture review to implemented controls and evidence - four steps.
Architecture & compliance review
We assess your current infrastructure against HIPAA, SOC 2, and your specific compliance requirements - identifying gaps, misconfigured controls, and PHI exposure risks.
Secure architecture design
Multi-account AWS environment design with PHI isolation, encryption, audit logging, and the network controls your BAA obligations require. Reviewed and approved before implementation begins.
Implementation and hardening
We build the environment in Terraform or CloudFormation - every resource defined as code, version-controlled, and tested before production. Security scanning at every stage.
Documentation and evidence package
Architecture diagrams, control mapping, and technical evidence generated from your actual configuration. Legal and compliance stakeholders define the applicable obligations, and an independent reviewer determines whether the evidence satisfies the selected framework or requirement.
