Compliance Architecture

HIPAA IS NOT
A CHECKBOX.
IT'S THE FOUNDATION.

Every architecture decision — from infrastructure to data retention — is HIPAA-native. Not retrofitted. Not bolted on.

  • CMEK Encryption Customer-Managed Encryption Keys on all Cloud SQL, GCS, and Secret Manager resources. Your keys, your data.
  • 7-Year Audit Logs Immutable audit trail across all Cloud Run services — compliant with HIPAA retention requirements and litigation-hold ready.
  • Cloud Armor + gVisor Runtime sandbox isolation (gVisor) and Cloud Armor WAF on every service endpoint. Defense-in-depth, not perimeter-only.
  • 5-Layer Abuse Detection UPMC CA-CDSS, SCAN, P-CAST, NLP, and registry submission — integrated into every clinical workflow with mandatory CPS reporting.
  • GCP-Only Architecture No Azure. No AWS. No hybrid sprawl. Monolithic GCP infrastructure with BAA coverage and HIPAA-eligible services exclusively.

About AscentShield

BUILT BY A
CLINICIAN.
ENGINEERED FOR
COMPLIANCE.

AscentShield LLC is a subsidiary of Ascent Enterprise Holdings LLC, led by a practicing triple board-eligible psychiatrist with 17+ years of clinical experience. The platform was built because no existing EHR was architected with HIPAA as a first principle — only as an afterthought.

AscentShield operates exclusively on Google Cloud Platform with a full Business Associate Agreement, HIPAA-eligible service stack, and no dependency on any non-HIPAA-compliant third-party infrastructure.
