How we protect data

How Helix keeps patient data secure

Encryption in transit and at rest

Patient and financial data is encrypted as it moves and where it is stored. Credentials for connected systems are stored encrypted, too.

Role-based access

Around 700 granular permissions, with role templates, per branch and per module — so each person sees exactly what their job requires, and nothing more.

Full audit trail

Every change is logged and attributable to a person. Records are never truly erased — deletions are soft, so history can always be reconstructed.

Approvals and period locks

Refunds, write-offs and other sensitive actions go through approval workflows, and closed financial periods are locked against edits.

In-country data

UAE clinics' data stays in the UAE, Saudi clinics' data in Saudi Arabia and Egyptian clinics' data in Egypt.

Governed, private AI

Verto's models are hosted in Helix's own cloud and never trained on your data. Every AI action needs human approval, is logged immutably, and a platform-wide switch can pause all AI at once.
