Security & Trust

Best-in-class cybersecurity, built into the platform.

Provation Apex is a cloud-native platform backed by independently audited certifications and the operational resilience of Microsoft Azure — so protecting data doesn't fall to your servers, your patch schedule, or your team.

01 The risk of standing still

Exposure grows with every unpatched server.

The average healthcare data breach costs $10.1 million per incident — the highest of any industry.

For organizations still running procedure documentation on premises, patching competes with every other demand on a stretched IT team — and when software reaches end of support, the patches stop while the data does not.

On-premises reality
  • Servers to harden, patch, and defend
  • Backup windows and update downtime
  • Ransomware recovery that depends on local backups
  • End-of-support software still holding patient data
Provation Apex
  • Multiple protection layers of cloud security
  • Continuous updates and backups, no downtime
  • Geo-replicated environments with built-in resiliency
  • A platform that's always on current, supported software

03 Built on Microsoft Azure

Resilience your IT team doesn't have to build.

Provation Apex runs on Microsoft Azure, inheriting best-in-class operational resilience — and removing whole categories of work from your IT team.

Always current

Continuous security updates

Real-time software and security updates applied automatically on a bi-weekly cadence — no maintenance window required.

Continuity

Geo-replicated and highly available

Automatic data backup and built-in resiliency across replicated environments. No server backups to maintain.

No downtime

Updates without interruption

Security posture improves without taking the service away from clinicians — no downtime for updates or backups.

Encryption

PHI encrypted throughout

Patient, provider, and exam data is encrypted — with operational telemetry kept separate and free of PHI.

Footprint

Smaller attack surface

Minimal hardware means fewer servers to harden, patch, and defend. Document on any internet-enabled device.

Support

24/7/365 coverage

Round-the-clock Provation support, with minimal in-house IT required to keep the platform current and secure.

04 Off the servers

What changes when you move off servers.

06 Who it's for

Built for the teams who have to answer for it.

Healthcare IT & informatics

Fewer servers to patch, no backup windows to schedule, and a vendor that ships security updates continuously.

Compliance & privacy officers

Independently audited SOC 2 and ISO controls, alignment to NIST frameworks, and HIPAA compliance — with privacy protections governing how personal data is accessed.

Executives & risk leaders

Material reduction in ransomware exposure — so a breach in the procedure room isn't a line item on next year's budget.

Clinical leaders

Security that doesn't cost availability — no downtime for updates, and access from any internet-enabled device.

Asked and answered.

The questions security and IT teams actually ask.

How is patient data protected in Provation Apex?

Patient, provider, and exam-related data is encrypted throughout the platform. Operational telemetry — application performance, availability, and usage logs — is kept separate and free of PHI.

How often are security updates applied?

Continuously — software and security updates are applied automatically on a bi-weekly cadence, with no downtime and no maintenance window. There is nothing for your team to schedule or install.

What happens if we're hit by ransomware?

Provation Apex runs in geo-replicated, highly available Azure environments with continuous automatic data and software backups — mitigating the impact of malware and ransomware without depending on local server backups.
