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
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – Information Security Management SystemsWe run a certified ISMS covering everything from secure software development to
encrypted backups. Risk assessments follow the guidance of the
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27
cybersecurity committee.
ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management (SME)Continuous improvement loops, corrective‑action tracking, and documented validation
protocols ensure PathCam meets—or exceeds—your uptime and accuracy expectations.
ISO/TS 17117‑2:2022 – Health Informatics: Terminological ResourcesOur annotation engine follows this spec so diagnostic terms flow consistently
between PathCam, LIS, and EHR systems.- Health‑IT Governance
We actively monitor publications from
ISO TC 215 (Health Informatics)
to stay ahead of emerging best practices.
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.
