Health Data Platforms
Health data warehouses and platforms consolidate vast volumes of clinical, operational, and research data. Building these infrastructures requires sophisticated governance, security architecture, and regulatory compliance to enable safe, lawful data use.
As healthcare and life sciences generate exponential data volumes, establishing secure, compliant, and interoperable data platforms has become a cornerstone for research innovation, operational improvement, and regulatory compliance. A well-designed health data warehouse consolidates data from EHRs, EMRs, labs, imaging, and connected devices. However, these infrastructures must adhere to strict regulatory frameworks from GDPR and HIPAA to certifications like French HDS.
Data Platform Requirements
We help health data platforms meet the full spectrum of regulatory requirements, from governance frameworks and authorization processes to security architecture and secondary use compliance. Whether you are building a data warehouse, enabling research access, or preparing for interoperability mandates, we ensure your platform operates lawfully and securely.
Health data platforms require comprehensive governance defining data ownership, access rights, quality standards, life cycle management, and sharing protocols. Governance must address both primary use for care and secondary use for research, ensuring appropriate controls for each purpose.
Many jurisdictions require specific authorisations for health data platforms including submissions to data protection authorities, certifications like HDS in France, and research ethics approvals. Meeting these requirements demands deep regulatory expertise and careful planning.
Large-scale health data processing requires comprehensive risk analysis and DPIAs identifying vulnerabilities, assessing threats, and ensuring appropriate technical and organisational measures.Assessments must consider the full range of risks relevant to health data infrastructure.
Enabling lawful secondary use of health data requires careful attention to legal bases, consent frameworks, anonymisation approaches, and governance processes. Balancing research value against privacy protection demands sophisticated compliance strategies.
Health data platforms must increasingly support interoperability with national and international data exchange systems. This includes technical standards, governance frameworks, and legal mechanisms enabling responsible data sharing.
Health data platforms require robust security architecture including encryption, access control, audit trails, and incident response capabilities protecting sensitive information against both external threats and insider risks.

FAQs
Our frequently questions
Health data warehouses and platforms consolidate vast volumes of clinical, operational, and research data from EHRs, EMRs, labs, imaging, and connected devices—requiring sophisticated governance, security architecture, and regulatory compliance under GDPR, HIPAA, French HDS certification, and jurisdiction-specific frameworks to enable safe, lawful data use. With compliance experience across 66 countries, we provide integrated data protection (governance frameworks, authorization processes), AI regulatory compliance (algorithm oversight for analytics platforms), and cybersecurity regulatory compliance (security architecture, access controls) services throughout your platform lifecycle from design through operational deployment and secondary use.
The highest-impact challenges include inadequate data governance frameworks failing to define clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability structures, non-compliant regulatory authorization processes (French HDS certification, GDPR Article 30 processing records, HIPAA Business Associate Agreements), insufficient risk analysis and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing activities, unclear secondary use and data reuse legal bases for research or analytics, failed interoperability requirements lacking proper data sharing agreements and technical standards (FHIR, HL7), and weak security architecture exposing patient data to unauthorized access or breaches. These issues trigger authority investigations, block platform operations, prevent data sharing partnerships, and eliminate commercial value.
We provide data protection compliance (data governance frameworks, regulatory authorization support for HDS/GDPR/HIPAA, risk analysis and DPIAs, secondary use and data reuse legal frameworks, interoperability requirements and data sharing agreements, security architecture review), AI regulatory compliance (governance for AI/ML analytics running on platform data, algorithm accountability frameworks, bias assessment for predictive models), and cybersecurity regulatory compliance (access control architectures, encryption requirements, audit logging, incident response procedures, penetration testing coordination). With experience across 66 countries, we harmonize data protection, AI governance, and cybersecurity obligations—ensuring your platform operates lawfully and securely while enabling research access and analytics innovation.
