01

Security

Access control

Define access rules by workflow, user group, system role, environment, and data sensitivity. Avoid broad access grants that outlive the implementation phase.

Service-to-service access should use customer-approved authentication and rotation practices.

02

Security

Environment boundaries

Separate development, test, staging, and production environments with clear data handling rules for each.

Production clinical data should only flow through approved environments with appropriate logging, monitoring, and access governance.

03

Security

Audit and monitoring

Plan audit events for data access, transformations, integration failures, configuration changes, and administrative actions.

Operational dashboards should help teams identify failures, unusual access patterns, and data quality drift quickly.
