Why Seald Healthcare
Perimeter Security Fails, and
Seald Healthcare Fixes It
Today's healthcare security stops at your network. Once data leaves your systems, you lose control.
Seald Healthcare changes that with programmable encryption that travels with the data.
The Current Healthcare Security Model Leaves Data Vulnerable
Perimeter and infrastructure security protect your network, not the data itself. Once PHI leaves your systems, it is decrypted, stored in plaintext, and out of your control.
Cloud Infrastructure
Stolen credentials expose ALL records. No individual record encryption.
Data in Transit
Encryption ends when data arrives. Third party immediately decrypts and stores in plaintext.
Third-Party Vendor
Plaintext Storage
Data originator has zero control over data after delivery. No audit trail.
Seald Healthcare Encrypts Patient Data at the Record Level
Persistent, policy-driven encryption that travels with the data wherever it goes. Control who, when, where, and how your data is accessed and used.
Cloud Infrastructure
Record-level encryption. Credentials alone cannot decrypt individual records.
Data in Transit
Each record stays individually encrypted in transit. Access policies are embedded in the data itself.
Third-Party Vendor
End-to-End Encrypted
Data originator retains full control. HIPAA encryption safe harbor applies.
Where Seald Sits
Where Seald Healthcare Sits, and What It Protects
Seald Healthcare sits at the egress point where patient data leaves your environment. We encrypt PHI at the record level before it reaches vendors, payers, analytics platforms, or AI systems. Your EHR stays untouched, and your existing vendor workflows continue as they do today.
Inside Your Network
Your EHR / EMR
Epic, Oracle Health, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and more.
Your EHR remains your system of record. Seald Healthcare does not replace it, sit inside it, or require EHR vendor cooperation.
The Egress Point
Seald Healthcare deploys where data leaves your environment, such as your integration engine, FHIR API, HL7 feed, SFTP workflow, or outbound file process.
As PHI exits, Seald Healthcare encrypts it at the record level and applies policy-governed access controls that remain attached to the data wherever it goes.
Outside Your Network
Third-Party Vendors
Your vendors receive data through the same workflow, format, schedule, and connection they use today. The difference is that protected patient data is no longer exposed as plaintext. Sensitive fields or files are ciphertext unless policy-authorized decryption is allowed.
Plaintext PHI Does Not Leave Your Environment
The data itself is the only thing that changes: it stays encrypted, policy-bound, and revocable even after it is shared.
Structured Interfaces
HL7, FHIR, and X12
Seald Healthcare encrypts PHI within outbound HL7 v2 messages, FHIR workflows, and X12 transactions, across any integration engine or gateway such as Mirth, Rhapsody, and others, while preserving the structure needed for routing, delivery, and downstream processing. Sensitive values are protected at the record level, while the integration flow remains intact.
File Transfers
SFTP and Batch Files
Seald Healthcare encrypts files before they are written to SFTP or other file-transfer locations. Vendors pull files using the same credentials, schedule, and automation they use today. What sits on the server is ciphertext, not plaintext PHI.
Split Custody
No Single Party Can Produce Plaintext Alone
Seald Healthcare is zero-knowledge by design. We manage the key infrastructure, but cannot decrypt your PHI, since the keys we manage are themselves encrypted under a key you control.
You hold the data
Patient data remains encrypted in your systems, vendor workflows, and shared environments.
Seald Healthcare manages the key infrastructure
Keys are issued, rotated, rewrapped, and revoked automatically under your policies. Key release is governed at decrypt time.
Vendors hold ciphertext
Vendors can read data only where policy-authorized decryption is permitted.
HIPAA Safe Harbor
A Breach of Properly Encrypted PHI Is Not a Reportable Breach Per HHS
If protected health information is lost, stolen, or accessed by an unauthorized party, properly encrypted data remains unreadable and unusable. HHS guidance is explicit: encrypted PHI does not trigger breach notification requirements. That means a security incident does not automatically become a reportable breach. The result can be reduced breach liability, lower cyber insurance costs, and a dramatically different outcome for your organization.
“Protected health information (PHI) is rendered unusable, unreadable, or indecipherable to unauthorized individuals if one or more of the following applies: electronic PHI has been encrypted as specified in the HIPAA Security Rule… such encryption renders the breach notification provisions of the HITECH Act inapplicable.”
No Public Disclosure
No 60-day notification clock, no HHS portal listing, no press release.
Reduced OCR Exposure
Demonstrated safeguards reduce regulatory and enforcement exposure.
Lower Insurance Premiums
Record-level encryption may qualify for carrier premium credits.
