Secure Healthcare Data Without Slowing Development A growing number of modern healthcare applications process enormous amounts of patient information through AI, machine learning, and
A growing number of modern healthcare applications process enormous amounts of patient information through AI, machine learning, and data analytics. That means developers must meet strict compliance standards such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR, all while keeping their build velocity high.
Arcjet helps healthcare software teams secure sensitive data like PHI directly in their applications, no proxies, no external data sharing, and no compromise on performance.
As healthcare platforms grow with AI the surface area for potential PHI exposure grows rapidly. Developers must identify and redact sensitive information before it’s stored or shared, ensuring compliance across distributed systems.
Traditional network-based tools only inspect packets. They don’t understand business context or application logic, which limits their ability to make accurate decisions about what should or shouldn’t be stored. Arcjet’s SDK solves this problem by embedding data protection at the application layer, right where PHI is handled.
Arcjet integrates directly into your application code, not your network. That design is key to meeting and keeping the HIPAA Security Rule requirements for access control, integrity, and transmission protection that your team needs.
With Arcjet, data processing happens locally, inside your own environment, embedded in the SDK. When your app analyzes or redacts sensitive information, that processing occurs entirely on your servers or devices. Arcjet never receives or transmits the raw data being inspected.
Because Arcjet operates entirely within your local codebase, we never have access to any PHI. The SDK can detect and redact PHI, but the content itself never leaves your system or passes through Arcjet’s infrastructure. This architectural separation means Arcjet is not a data processor under HIPAA and therefore cannot expose, store, or transmit PHI, removing an entire class of compliance risk.
Developers can still view detailed detection results and audit logs without exposing sensitive values, Arcjet only returns metadata about what was detected, not the underlying data itself. This ensures teams can verify that PHI is being properly handled, while maintaining strict control of the information at every step.
The result is end-to-end privacy protection that supports HIPAA compliance by design:
By embedding compliance logic directly into code, Arcjet allows healthcare developers to enforce HIPAA safeguards natively, without external dependencies, additional latency, or vendor exposure.
Arcjet’s SDK lets developers start small and scale up. Teams can begin by implementing PHI detection and redaction, then expand into features like rate limiting, bot protection, and API abuse prevention.
These capabilities use the same security foundation, so compliance efforts stay unified across environments. Arcjet’s cloud API automatically tracks IP reputation and usage patterns, helping prevent credential stuffing, spam, and other threats common in healthcare portals, all while maintaining audit-ready traceability.
Arcjet turns compliance into a developer tool rather than a blocker. You can write, test, and deploy security rules like any other feature. That means faster releases, consistent enforcement, and fewer surprises during audits.
Healthcare software teams use Arcjet to:
Arcjet ensures that sensitive healthcare data remains secure, compliant, and under your control.
Healthcare developers shouldn’t have to choose between speed and security. With Arcjet, compliance becomes another part of the development workflow. Security runs locally, scales with your architecture, and meets the highest standards of healthcare data protection.
