Security Architecture

Auroa is a HIPAA-compliant, client-side-encrypted workforce platform. Clinical records stay encrypted end to end, and every file byte lands in a BAA-covered AWS vault.

HIPAA-aligned data separation

Auroa separates workforce rosters from encrypted clinical care records. Sensitive care updates are protected in transit and at rest, while tenant and resident mapping rules strictly limit who can access them.

Client-side encryption

Sensitive fields are encrypted in your browser with a passphrase only your facility holds. Auroa cannot read, recover, export, or decrypt them — including in response to subpoena. If the passphrase is lost, encrypted data is unrecoverable.

In transit & at rest

All traffic is TLS 1.2+ end-to-end. Database storage and backups use AES-256 at rest. Secrets are isolated per environment and rotated.

Access control

Role-based access control (RBAC), per-facility data isolation enforced at the database row level, mandatory 2FA for admin roles, and short-lived session tokens.

Append-only audit trail

Every workforce event is written to an immutable, append-only ledger retained for 7 years (Medicaid COMAR compliant). Exportable for internal review.

Subprocessors

Hosted on a SOC 2 Type II global edge network, managed Postgres database, PCI-DSS Level 1 payment processing, and SOC 2 transactional messaging providers. Full subprocessor list available to customers on written request.
