Azure SQL Database with Always Encrypted columns for PII/PHI data. Implements row-level security ensuring users only access authorized records. Automatic failover to secondary region with <30s RTO for disaster recovery.
Government Integration Gateway
Secure API gateway using Azure API Management for state agency integration. mTLS certificate authentication, rate limiting, and request/response logging. Supports FHIR, HL7, and custom XML/JSON formats for interoperability.
HIPAA & SOC 2 Features
Comprehensive compliance controls meeting federal healthcare and security standards.
HIPAA Compliance
- End-to-end encryption (AES-256) for PHI data at rest and in transit
- Audit logging of all data access with immutable timestamps
- Role-based access control (RBAC) with principle of least privilege
- Automatic PHI de-identification and masking in logs
- Business Associate Agreement (BAA) ready infrastructure
- Encrypted backup retention for 7 years per HIPAA standards
SOC 2 Type II Compliance
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforced for all users
- Continuous security monitoring and threat detection
- Automated vulnerability scanning and patch management
- Change management workflow with approval gates
- Incident response procedures with 24/7 monitoring
- Annual third-party security audits and penetration testing
Data Security & Privacy
- Azure Key Vault for secrets and certificate management
- SQL Database Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
- Row-level security (RLS) based on user roles
- Dynamic data masking for sensitive fields
- Geo-redundant backups with point-in-time recovery
- Network isolation via Azure Private Link and VNet
System Architecture
Citizen Submission
Users authenticate via Azure AD B2C with MFA. Blazor WebAssembly frontend validates input client-side, then submits encrypted payloads to ASP.NET Core API over HTTPS with certificate pinning.
Server-Side Validation & Sanitization
ASP.NET Core API validates all inputs using FluentValidation. Files scanned by Azure Defender for malware. Sensitive data tokenized and encrypted before database insertion using Azure Key Vault managed keys.
Secure Database Storage
Entity Framework Core persists data to Azure SQL Database with Always Encrypted enabled for PHI columns. Audit triggers log all INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations with user identity and timestamp to immutable audit table.
Government Agency Transmission
Azure Logic Apps orchestrate secure data transmission to state agencies. Data exported via Azure API Management with mTLS authentication. All transmissions logged to Azure Monitor with delivery confirmation and retry logic.
Security Controls
Multi-layered defense implementing industry best practices.
Access Control
- Multi-Factor Authentication (TOTP, SMS, Authenticator Apps)
- Role-Based Access Control with custom claims
- Session timeout enforcement (15-min idle, 8-hr absolute)
- Account lockout after 5 failed login attempts
- Password complexity requirements (NIST 800-63B compliant)
Data Protection
- TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest
- Column-level encryption for PII/PHI fields
- Automated PII detection and classification
- Data loss prevention (DLP) policies
Monitoring & Auditing
- Real-time security alerts via Azure Sentinel
- Immutable audit logs (Write-Once-Read-Many)
- Failed authentication attempt monitoring
- Data export/download tracking
- Quarterly security audit reports
