Where your data lives

AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.3 in transit. US-only.

Every byte of patient data is encrypted at rest using AWS KMS and in transit over TLS 1.3. We host in AWS US regions (us-east-1 primary, us-west-2 backup) under AWS's signed BAA. Patient identifiers and clinical fields get an extra layer of column-level encryption.

Who can see what

Role-based access. Append-only audit log.

Inside your account: Owner, Office Manager, and Front Desk roles. Inside Thorli: our staff can only access your data if you explicitly grant support access for a defined window. Every read or write is logged in an append-only audit trail you can export anytime.

The BAA

Signed once during onboarding. Covers all eight required elements.

Permitted uses, safeguards, subcontractor flow-down, breach notification within 60 days, return or destroy on termination. Your lawyer can review the sample before you sign.
