Health data is the most sensitive data there is — and Indian healthcare now answers to a stack of rules at once: DPDP, ABDM, NABH Digital, and CERT-In. We bring them under one roof, so your hospital, lab, or health-tech platform can go digital, get ABDM-ready, and keep patient records safe — without drowning in compliance.
Health records reveal what people most want private. Under DPDP, mishandling them carries the law's heaviest weight — and patients' deepest trust is on the line.
Hospitals and health-tech don't face one regulator — they must satisfy DPDP, ABDM, NABH, CERT-In and more, together. Miss one and the others don't save you.
EMRs, telemedicine, and ABDM connectivity are transforming care — and widening the attack surface. Every new system is a new door that has to be locked.
The national data-protection law. Health data is among the most sensitive it covers — demanding clear patient consent, security safeguards, and breach accountability.
India's digital health backbone under the NHA. Uses ABHA health IDs and consent-based exchange between providers (HIP) and users (HIU) — voluntary by design, but increasingly expected.
NABH's Digital Health Accreditation rates hospitals on how well they run digital systems — EMR, telemedicine, patient safety — a growing mark of quality and trust.
India's six-hour cyber-incident rule applies to healthcare too. A ransomware hit on a hospital isn't just an IT problem — it's a reportable incident on a tight clock.
India's regulator for drugs and medical devices. Software that qualifies as a medical device, and connected diagnostic tools, fall under its oversight.
The earlier rules that classed health data as sensitive personal information — still relevant as DPDP's framework fully takes effect.
ABDM integration is optional by design today, but the direction is clear: it's increasingly expected, and already being mandated for private hospitals empanelled under AB-PMJAY. Getting on the network isn't just a software task — certification includes a security gate.
Integrate with the ABDM sandbox via your systems or vendor.
Functional testing to prove the ABDM workflows work end to end.
Security assessment (WASA) via a CERT-In-empanelled agency — the step we handle.
Go live on the ABDM network with production credentials.
A letter arrives: your AB-PMJAY empanelment now expects ABDM integration. Suddenly a digital-health project you'd deferred has a deadline — and a security assessment you didn't budget for.
ABDM wants purpose-specific, time-bound consent; DPDP has its own consent and lawful-use rules. Getting them to agree — especially in emergencies — is where many providers quietly fall out of compliance.
Your HMIS, lab system, or telemedicine tool holds every patient record — but was it ever security-assessed? A breach in a vendor's system is still your patients' data, and your reputation.
Every engagement runs on our SHIELD framework and GRC approach — mapped to the standards that apply to healthcare specifically.
The CERT-In-empanelled-grade security assessment your ABDM certification needs — done right, first time.
Patient consent, rights, and data-handling brought in line with DPDP — reconciled with ABDM's consent model.
Prepare the digital-systems and data-security evidence NABH's Digital Health Accreditation looks for.
Logging, a point of contact, and a rehearsed six-hour workflow — so a hospital breach is handled, not fumbled.
The full SHIELD audit on your HMIS, EMR, portals, and connected devices — finding gaps before attackers do.
Assess the third-party software and partners holding patient data — because their weakness becomes yours.
Start with a conversation. We'll map which frameworks apply to your organisation, where you stand today, and the shortest path to being secure, DPDP-ready, and ABDM-capable — sized for your practice.
