The most sensitive data
deserves the strongest guardrails.
BUILT FOR TRUST. DESIGNED FOR CONTROL.
Laherika ensures healthcare data is always consent-driven, secure, and fully governed by the institutions and patients who own it.
Health data carries a person's most private information. We treat protecting it as the platform's primary job — not a feature bolted on later. Security and privacy are non-negotiable, and they are built into every layer of how Laherika works.
Three foundational rules govern every system interaction - enforced at the platform level, not at configuration level
Security-by-Design
Security is not layered on later — it is built into the core architecture. Encryption, access controls, network boundaries, and audit logging are enforced by default in every workflow and cannot be bypassed at the application level.
Privacy-by-Design
Patient data is never open by default. Every access is purpose-bound and consent-verified in real time. Data is shared only for the exact scope it was authorised for, and never reused beyond that intent.
Zero implicit access
No user, service, or internal system has automatic access to sensitive data. All access must be explicitly authorized, logged, and traceable — including internal operations and system-level processes.
How we actually protect your data
Concrete safeguards, in plain language.
End-to-end encryption
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption. No record is readable without explicit authorization — neither while being transmitted nor when stored in the system.
Role & attribute-based access
Access is strictly controlled based on role, context, and purpose. Users only see the minimum necessary information — ensuring a receptionist, clinician, insurer, or administrator each view only what they are permitted to.
Complete audit trails
Every access, update, and action is permanently logged. You always know exactly who accessed what data, when, and what changed — with an audit trail for full accountability.
Granular consent management
Patients stay in full control of their data. Consent is specific to data type, purpose, and duration, and can be modified or revoked at any time. Every data exchange is validated against active consent in real time.
Data minimisation & masking
Only the data required for a specific task is shared. Sensitive fields are masked, tokenised, or pseudonymised by default. Where possible, analytics and research operate on de-identified datasets — never exposed personal identities.
Regulatory alignment
Built to align with India’s DPDP Act and ABDM frameworks, with architecture designed to support HIPAA and GDPR requirements as the system scales globally.
Complete Data Isolation
Every tenant operates within a logically isolated environment designed to prevent cross-tenant access. Data is segregated at every layer of the platform, ensuring zero commingling and eliminating the risk of accidental data exposure between organizations.
Multi-Layer Security Architecture
Security is enforced through multiple independent layers of protection, including secure network boundaries, tenant-level data isolation, continuous threat monitoring, industry-standard encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance-aligned governance. No single control is relied upon; every layer reinforces the next.
Data Ownership & Patient Control
Your data remains your data. Laherika does not claim ownership of tenant or patient information and cannot access protected records without explicit authorization. Access is governed through consent-driven workflows aligned with the ABDM framework, ensuring organizations and patients retain control over their data at all times.
What this means for you
SECURITY & PRIVACY: At Laherika, security and privacy are foundational to how the platform is designed—not added later. We operate as a consent-driven exchange layer for healthcare data, ensuring information flows only when authorised, for a defined purpose, and under strict governance controls.
Will I lose control of my patients' data?
No. Laherika is an exchange layer governed by consent — not a place that takes ownership of your data. Information moves only when a patient permits it, for the purpose they permit, and you retain your relationship and your records. The platform makes your data more useful to you, not less yours.
Can patient data be shared without consent?
No. Every data exchange is explicitly consent-driven. Nothing is shared with hospitals, insurers, researchers, or any third party unless the patient has granted permission for that specific purpose, scope, and duration.
Who controls patient data?
Healthcare providers and patients retain full ownership and control of their data. Laherika does not take custody or ownership of medical records. It enables controlled, permissioned exchange while preserving existing clinical relationships and record ownership.
Who can access patient data within a hospital or clinic?
Access is strictly role-based and defined by the healthcare organisation. Only authorised personnel can access patient data, based on their clinical or operational role. Every access event is logged, traceable, and auditable to ensure accountability.
Where is patient data stored - Is data stored centrally or copied everywhere?
Patient data remains with authorised healthcare providers and systems. Laherika operates as a secure interoperability layer that facilitates controlled exchange—it does not act as a centralised clinical data repository or duplicate medical records.
How is patient consent managed?
Consent is the foundation of every data exchange. Patients grant granular permission for specific data, specific recipients, and specific use cases. Consent can be time-bound and withdrawn at any point, ensuring patients remain in control throughout their care journey.
This approach aligns with the principles of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) framework.
Can researchers or insurers saccess identifiable data?
No. Identifiable data is never exposed without explicit consent. For research, public health, and insurance use cases, the platform provides anonymised and structured datasets designed for analytical value while preventing individual identification. Data minimisation principles ensure each stakeholder receives only what is necessary for their defined purpose.
How is data protected from misuse or insider access?
The platform is built with layered security controls including encryption, role-based access, and continuous audit logging. Every interaction with data is traceable to an authenticated identity, ensuring accountability and reducing the risk of misuse or unauthorised access.
How do I know system is actually secure?
Security is enforced across all layers of the platform through encryption, strict authentication mechanisms, controlled access policies, and continuous monitoring. The system is designed to prevent unauthorised access, detect anomalies, and ensure safe data exchange across all stakeholders.
What happens if something goes wrong?
We maintain continuous monitoring, audit trails, and incident response processes to detect and address issues quickly. In the unlikely event of a security incident, we follow defined containment, investigation, and notification procedures in line with applicable regulatory requirements. Trust is treated as a continuous operational commitment, not a one-time certification.
