At Revele, we operate on a foundational principle: in healthcare, trust is the ultimate currency, and security is its bedrock. We recognize that protecting our clients' sensitive information is our most critical responsibility. This commitment is not merely a feature of our services—it is a core tenet of our philosophy and a top organizational priority.
This article offers insight into Revele’s strategic commitment to security, detailing the principles that guide our technology, governance, and culture. We will explore how we have built a security-first organization, established a multi-layered defense strategy, and implemented vigilant governance to safeguard the data you entrust to us.
Effective security begins with people, not just technology. At Revele, we have cultivated a security-first culture that is deeply embedded in every aspect of our organization, from high-level strategy to daily operations. This mindset ensures that data protection is a shared and proactive responsibility across all teams, rather than a reactive task.
This commitment starts with our leadership, which has established a clear and unwavering mandate that protecting client information is paramount. This top-down mandate ensures that security is not a siloed IT function but a business-wide commitment, which directly translates to a more resilient and trustworthy environment for your sensitive data. This culture is supported by a dedicated HIPAA Security and Compliance team, which provides expert oversight and ensures our practices remain aligned with the highest industry and regulatory standards.
This pervasive culture of security is not just a philosophy; it is the blueprint for our technology architecture. We materialize our commitment through a multi-layered, defense-in-depth strategy designed to protect against a wide spectrum of threats. We strategically invest in and deploy solutions that provide robust, overlapping layers of protection.
At a high level, our technology principles include:
Our entire technology infrastructure is designed for high availability and resilience. We utilize secure, U.S.-based data centers that feature redundant power, cooling, and network systems to ensure operational continuity. Furthermore, a robust, hybrid data backup and recovery strategy is in place, ensuring that critical data can be restored efficiently whenever needed.
While our technology provides a formidable defense, its effectiveness is amplified by a framework of disciplined governance and rigorous access control. Revele’s governance framework is built on the principle of “minimum necessary access,” also known as least privilege. This ensures that staff members are only granted the level of access to systems and data that is strictly required to perform their specific job functions. This principle of least privilege is a cornerstone of our governance because it dramatically reduces the potential attack surface and minimizes the impact of any potential breach, providing a powerful safeguard for your information.
To fortify this framework, we mandate the use of modern authentication methods, including multi-factor authentication, to secure access to all critical systems. This adds a crucial layer of verification that protects against unauthorized access.
Our security program is not static. It includes continuous, real-time monitoring of our networks and systems, coupled with regular, comprehensive risk assessments and annual third-party penetration testing. This independent validation ensures our defenses are continuously challenged and hardened against emerging threats. These interwoven practices of strict access control, continuous monitoring, and independent testing are fundamental to maintaining accountability and proving our commitment to the confidentiality and integrity of your data.
Revele's commitment to security is the foundation of the trust we build with our clients and partners. We have engineered this commitment around three core pillars: a pervasive security-first culture where protection is a shared duty, a robust multi-layered technology defense system to counter contemporary threats, and vigilant governance to ensure principled and secure data handling.
Security is a shared responsibility, especially within the interconnected healthcare ecosystem. Revele understands that the strength of our chain of trust depends on its weakest link. Therefore, we extend our rigorous security standards to all third-party partners and vendors involved in our service delivery. This accountability is formally established through comprehensive Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).
These BAAs are more than mere legal formalities; they represent a commitment to prompt communication and transparency in the event of any concern or system failure. By maintaining strict oversight across our entire supply chain, we ensure that client data remains securely protected from the moment it enters our ecosystem through final processing.
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, so too will the challenges to data security. Revele is dedicated to continuous improvement and investment in our security program, guaranteeing that we remain a resilient, responsible, and secure technology partner for the future.
At Revele, we view ourselves as partners in your practice’s health. By investing in top-tier technology and maintaining rigorous security standards, we provide the peace of mind you need to operate confidently in a digital world.
Your job is to care for patients. Our job is to protect the business that makes that care possible.
