PathCam Compliance Deep Dive

From histology labs to point‑of‑care clinics, every PathCam deployment is built on a
foundation of rigorous security, privacy, and quality controls.
This article explains the major standards and regulations we follow, what they require,
and—most importantly—what they mean for you as a PathCam customer.


International Standards & Certifications


Global Data‑Privacy Regulations

PathCam installations can be configured to honor regional privacy laws and data‑subject
rights wherever you operate:

Regulation How PathCam Supports Compliance
GDPR (EU) Data‑minimisation by design, signed DPA, EU‑based hosting on request, one‑click
export/erasure tools for Data Subjects.
CCPA (California) “Do Not Sell” mechanisms, opt‑out consent banners, transparent usage logs.
PIPEDA (Canada) Purpose limitation, breach‑notification workflow, encryption in transit & at rest.
LGPD (Brazil) Portuguese‑language consent flows, local data‑residency options.
POPI (South Africa) Minimal‑retention settings and on‑prem deployment packages.

Security Frameworks & Benchmarks

  • SOC 2 (Type II) – Independent auditors test our controls against the five Trust
    Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality,
    and privacy.

  • PCI DSS
    – Relevant when PathCam integrates with billing systems; tokenised
    payment flows keep card data out of scope.

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework
    – Our incident‑response plan aligns with the
    Identify → Protect → Detect → Respond → Recover cycle.

Healthcare‑Specific Regulations

HIPAA & HITECH

PathCam encrypts electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) using AES‑256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in
transit. Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards map directly to the HIPAA Security Rule.
The HITECH Act’s enhanced breach‑notification timelines are baked into our alerting dashboard.

Our installation manuals reference OSHA’s healthcare standards for electrical safety, ergonomics,
and chemical handling—helping your facility maintain a safe working environment.
