Defense in depth

One audiogram, five layers of protection.

Follow one sample audiogram from the store to the database. Each layer guards on its own — no single line of defense.

  1. 01

    Encrypted in transit

    Every hop from store tablets and PCs to the cloud is encrypted with TLS 1.3 and forward secrecy — and service-to-service traffic is TLS too.

    TLS 1.3Intercept the traffic and all you get is ciphertext.

  2. 02

    Role-based access

    One account per person, access by role: staff see the customers assigned to them, managers their own store, HQ the aggregate across stores.

    RBACLeast privilege: only what the job needs.

  3. 03

    Audit log

    Key actions — viewing, adding, exporting, changing permissions — are logged: who, when, from which store, and what.

    who · when · whatReviewable after the fact, with alerts on unusual access available per deployment.

  4. 04

    Encrypted at rest, KMS keys

    On write it is encrypted with AES-256-GCM (TDE). Keys are generated and held in a dedicated KMS, rotated on policy, and kept apart from data and backups.

    AES-256 · KMSA leaked disk exposes nothing.

  5. 05

    Hosted in Taiwan, under the PDPA

    Application state stays in Taiwan and is collected, processed and used under Taiwan's PDPA. Data subjects can access, correct and delete it.

    PDPAYour data stays yours — export and deletion per contract.

Compliance

Compliance status

Labelled honestly: “Aligned” and “Planned” items are not third-party certified, and we never show a badge we don’t hold.

Taiwan Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)

In compliance

Our operative legal obligation in Taiwan, implemented across data handling.

  • Personal data collected, processed and used for specified purposes
  • Data-subject rights to access, correct and delete
  • Application state hosted within Taiwan
  • Sub-processing bound by contract and confidentiality terms

ISO/IEC 27001(ISMS)

Aligned, not certified

Building controls toward the ISMS framework; not yet certified.

  • Risk assessment and risk management
  • Security policies and objectives
  • Continuous monitoring, measurement and improvement
  • Internal audit and management review

Scope follows contract and deployment; certification timeline is covered in the security package.

HIPAA Security Rule

Aligned, not certified

Our technology and processes align with its administrative, physical and technical safeguards.

Administrative
45 CFR 164.308
  • Risk analysis and management
  • Security awareness training
  • Security incident procedures
  • Vendor management and contracts
Physical
45 CFR 164.310
  • Facility access control and monitoring
  • Workstation and device security
  • Media disposal and destruction
Technical
45 CFR 164.312
  • Access control (unique user IDs, automatic logoff)
  • Audit controls and logging
  • Integrity controls (no improper changes)
  • Transmission security (TLS)

ISO/IEC 27701(PIMS)

Planned

Privacy-management extension, planned after 27001.

  • Personal-data processing flows and accountability
  • Data-subject rights request handling

Evaluated against customer privacy-governance needs.

SOC 2 Type II

Planned

On our compliance roadmap; no audit under way.

No auditor or report yet. Until one exists, we can share a self-assessment of the corresponding controls — with no implication that an audit has been passed.

Technical controls

From client to backup, every layer has its own safeguard.

    Edge

    • API Gateway enforces authentication, authorization and rate limits
    • WAF blocks OWASP Top 10 (SQLi, XSS, CSRF…)
  3. 03Private VPC · Zero Trust

    Network isolation

    • Backend and data stores sit in a private network, off the public internet

    Backup & recovery

    • Encrypted with separate keys and locked immutable against ransomware
    • Retention and recovery targets set per contract
    • Recovery and data-export procedures available on request

Threats we mitigate

  • Unauthorized access & brute force
  • Credential & token theft
  • Accidental deletion & misuse
  • Scanning & injection attacks
  • Insider privilege abuse
  • Backup / key single points of failure

Access & audit

Layered by role — each gets only what the job needs.

HQ: totals across every store

Audit & data scope

  • Access logs: key actions are logged for review
  • Anomaly alerts: configurable for unusual access (per deployment)
  • Data covered: audiograms, questionnaires, medical-history summaries, consult and follow-up records, store activity logs
  • Classification: sensitive (personal health info) / internal operations / general

Data lifecycle

From collection to deletion, every step has a rule.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Collected for a specified purpose — only what the service needs.

    • Specified purpose
    • Classified: sensitive / internal / general
  2. 02

    Use

    Opened by role, key actions logged, encrypted in transit and at rest.

Incident response

Once an incident affecting customer personal data is confirmed, we aim to notify affected customers within 72 hours, per contract and applicable law.

A defined process: detect, contain, root-cause, recover.

Not yet. Taiwan's PDPA is our operative, implemented legal obligation. ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27701 are targets we are aligned with or have planned — none is third-party certified today.
