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
The controls, governance, and safeguards behind the platform.
Connected healthcare requires trust. From consent management and encryption to access controls and audit trails, every layer of the platform is designed to meet the security expectations of healthcare providers, public institutions, and citizens.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption. No record is readable without explicit authorization.
Access is strictly controlled based on role, context, and purpose. Users only see the minimum necessary information.
Every access, update, and action is permanently logged - who accessed what data, when, and what changed.
Consent is specific to data type, purpose, and duration. Every data exchange is validated against active consent in real time.
Only required data is shared. Sensitive fields are masked or pseudonymised by default. Analytics operate on de-identified datasets.
Every tenant operates within a logically isolated environment. Data is segregated at every layer, eliminating cross-tenant exposure.
Security is enforced through multiple independent layers - network boundaries, encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring.
Your data remains your data. Laherika cannot access protected records without explicit authorization. Consent-driven workflows aligned with ABDM.
Aligned with the digital rails that run Indian healthcare.
Designed for regulatory confidence. Healthcare organisations should not have to choose between innovation and compliance. Laherika is built to align with India's evolving digital health ecosystem and established global standards, helping providers modernise securely, reduce compliance friction, and remain prepared for future regulatory requirements.
ABDM & ABHA
Designed to work with India's national backbone for health-data interoperability, ABHA identity, and consent-managed exchange.
FHIR R4 & structured data
International standard for exchanging healthcare information - clinical data is consistent and portable across hospitals, insurers, and patients.
DPDP Act 2023
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act - consent, purpose limitation, and data-principal rights woven through the platform as design constraints.
Global readiness - HIPAA & GDPR
Architected to extend to the US and Europe. Expansion needs configuration, not reinvention.
Consent & data-exchange protocols
The platform is designed around consent-managed exchange, so health information moves only with explicit, recorded permission, and claims-related exchange aligns with India's health-claims data standards. The result is exchange that is both trusted and auditable.
Professional & institutional mandates
Verified provider identity matters. The platform is designed to rely on trusted registries so that prescribers and institutions can be validated - supporting prescription legitimacy and reducing fraud across the network.
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 access 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 the 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.
