Security

Patient data is the most sensitive data class we touch. Here's how we protect it.

Encryption

All audio files and patient data are encrypted at rest (AES-256). All connections use TLS 1.3. Database backups are encrypted automatically.

Data residency

Malaysian and Singaporean customer data is hosted in Singapore (ap-southeast-1 region). Australian data will be hosted in Sydney (ap-southeast-2) when we expand to that market.

Access control

Row-level security enforced at the database. A doctor can only see their own consultations. Multi-factor authentication available (mandatory for clinic admins). No internal Annota staff has access to your audio or notes without an explicit support ticket from you.

Audit logging

Every action that touches patient data — login, recording, edit, sign, export, delete — is logged in an append-only audit trail. Audit logs cannot be modified or deleted, even by Annota staff.

No model training on patient data

Patient data is never used to train AI models. Ever. No exceptions. We use frontier models from OpenAI trained on broad public data; we do not fine-tune on patient content.

Compliance

PDPA Malaysia compliant. HSA Singapore aligned (formal compliance assessment in progress). AHPRA Australia aligned for future market entry.
