Security and Data Management
At Cuviva, we recognise that effective data management is crucial for maintaining robust data security. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with best practices to ensure that sensitive healthcare information is managed with the utmost care and precision.
Data Lifecycle Management
We implement rigorous data lifecycle management policies to ensure that data is responsibly collected, processed, stored, and ultimately disposed of in compliance with all applicable regulations. This includes minimising data retention periods and conducting regular reviews to assess the relevance and necessity of stored information
User Training and Awareness
Data security is a collective responsibility. Our comprehensive training programs empower staff and partners with the knowledge they need to identify potential risks and respond effectively. By fostering a culture of awareness, we enhance our overall security posture.
Secure Data Sharing
When collaborating with partners or stakeholders, we utilise secure data-sharing protocols, including encrypted file transfers and secure APIs. This ensures that sensitive data remains protected at all times, regardless of where it is accessed or shared.
Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to data security and management is ongoing. We continually assess our practices and adapt to emerging technologies and threats, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of data protection in the healthcare industry.
Operational and Storage Solutions
Cuviva offers a variety of operational and data storage solutions, including hybrid options and on-premises systems. Since transitioning to a Kubernetes system, we provide our clients with even greater flexibility in how patient data is stored, with solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients, including non-U.S. providers based in Sweden.
All personal data is pseudonymised and encrypted, with identification linked through a unique installation ID rather than personal identification. This approach aligns with our principle of “Built-in Privacy,” ensuring that the connection to patient identities is made securely. Data is anonymised during transmission and only associated with personal identities at the storage location. Encryption is applied both at rest and during data transmission.
ISO 27001 Certification
Our adherence to international standards is evidenced by our ISO 27001:2013 certification, which demonstrates our structured and systematic approach to information security. This certification, awarded by Qvalify, underscores our commitment to maintaining high security standards since early 2020.
Environmental Responsibility (ISO 14001)
Cuviva has been ISO 14001:2015 certified since 2023, demonstrating our strong commitment to environmental responsibility. We actively promote sustainable practices such as extending the lifespan of IT equipment and partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to sustainability.
Data Protection Regulations
We strictly adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, particularly their right to personal data protection. Cuviva ensures secure data storage and maintains a comprehensive record of all data processing activities, including the systems used, stored data, and the purposes of storage.
With Cuviva, you can trust that your data is managed with the highest standards of security and responsibility. Our focus on comprehensive data management enables us to provide exceptional care while prioritising patient safety and privacy.
