Security & compliance

Built to protect data: and speed procurement

TSB is PHI-minimal by design: name, email and phone only. Encryption in transit, data residency in Canada and a record of health-region privacy and security reviews since 2018 help your privacy and IT teams say yes faster.

How we protect data

Privacy-first, by architecture

Security isn't a setting bolted on afterward: it's how the platform is built.

PHI-minimal by design

Name, email and phone only. No health numbers, requisitions, results or diagnoses.

Encrypted in transit

TLS on every connection, hashed credentials and strict access controls.

In-region data residency

Data residency in Canada, to support BC health region requirements under FOIPPA and other provincial requirements. U.S. hosting available on request for U.S. customers.

Aggregate-only analytics

No patient names and no staff surveillance: insights measure flow, not people.

Role-based access

People see only what their role needs, with login and activity logging.

PIA & security review support

Privacy Impact Assessment and Security Threat and Risk Assessment processes supported at BC health regions since 2018.

Certified infrastructure. Slot IQ runs on DigitalOcean, whose platform is independently audited to SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 Type II (Schellman & Company) and holds CSA STAR Level 1. Our Canadian hosting is in DigitalOcean’s Toronto region, a data centre certified to SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001. TSB Healthcare’s own application and operational controls are reviewed through health-region Privacy Impact Assessment and STRA processes and an independent OWASP-based penetration test by Websec (Victoria, BC) in November 2024.
