Healthcare Compliance Beyond HIPAA
Build healthcare applications for the UK, European Union, and Australia with infrastructure and security controls designed to support regional data protection requirements.
Global Compliance
Healthcare data requirements change across countries, but the fundamentals remain the same: protect sensitive information, control access, maintain traceability, and know exactly where patient data is stored. DrapCode supports healthcare teams operating across regulatory environments with ISO 27001-certified security practices, multi-region hosting, encryption, role-based access controls, audit logs, and GDPR-aligned data handling.
Regional Requirements
Building healthcare software internationally requires more than applying the same compliance model everywhere. Each market has its own privacy legislation, healthcare standards, data residency expectations, and regulatory responsibilities. DrapCode provides the technical foundation and deployment flexibility needed to address these requirements, while your organization remains responsible for determining the regulations, certifications, and clinical obligations applicable to its specific product.
UK Healthcare
Healthcare applications serving UK patients need to account for UK GDPR requirements, NHS expectations, data protection obligations, and applicable clinical data and interoperability standards.
DrapCode supports UK healthcare projects with security controls and hosting options designed to help organizations meet these requirements.
What You Need to Know
Organizations should establish where patient data must be stored, whether their service needs to meet specific NHS requirements, which clinical standards apply, and what evidence customers or regulators will require during procurement and security reviews.
NHS-facing products may also have additional obligations depending on how the application is used, what clinical functions it performs, and which NHS organizations or systems it connects with.
What DrapCode Provides
UK Data Residency
Deploy healthcare applications with patient data hosted within the required UK region.
ISO 27001 Certification
Build on security practices aligned with an internationally recognized information security standard.
Data Encryption
Protect sensitive healthcare information during transmission and while stored within the application environment.
Role-Based Access
Restrict patient and clinical information according to defined user roles and permissions.
Audit Logging
Maintain records of important application and user activity for security and accountability.
GDPR Data Handling
Support privacy-focused data processing, access controls, retention, and data management requirements.
EU Healthcare
Healthcare applications operating in the European Union must address GDPR requirements when processing personal and health data, including appropriate security, access, processing, and data governance controls.
DrapCode enables healthcare teams to deploy applications in European regions while maintaining the technical safeguards needed to handle sensitive healthcare information.
What You Need to Know
Healthcare organizations should determine their role as a data controller or processor, establish where data will be stored, understand applicable national healthcare requirements, and define retention and deletion policies.
GDPR applies across the EU, but individual member states may have additional healthcare, clinical, hosting, or patient-data requirements to consider before deployment.
What DrapCode Provides
EU Data Residency
Keep application and healthcare data within supported European hosting regions.
ISO 27001 Certification
Apply established information security controls across application infrastructure and operational processes.
Encryption Controls
Encrypt sensitive information in transit and at rest throughout the application environment.
Access Management
Define which users can view, create, update, or manage sensitive healthcare information.
Activity Auditing
Record important user and system events to support accountability and security investigations.
GDPR-Aligned Handling
Support controlled processing and management of personal and sensitive healthcare information.
Australian Healthcare
Australian healthcare applications handling personal and health information must consider the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), along with other healthcare-specific obligations that may apply.
DrapCode provides infrastructure and application security controls that help healthcare organizations build around privacy, access, security, and data governance requirements.
What You Need to Know
Australian organizations should determine which privacy and healthcare regulations apply to their product, where they can store health information, and what security evidence customers expect.
Requirements vary by organization, application type, healthcare data involved, integrations, and whether additional federal, state, or territory rules apply.
What DrapCode Provides
Australian Data Residency
Deploy applications in supported Australian regions when you need local data hosting.
ISO 27001 Certification
Use an internationally recognized information security framework for protecting sensitive information.
Encryption
Protect health information at rest and in transit between users, systems, and services.
Role-Based Permissions
Limit access to healthcare information according to responsibilities within the application.
Audit Trails

One Security Foundation
DrapCode provides a common security foundation across international deployments through ISO 27001-certified practices, encryption, audit logging, role-based access, GDPR-aligned data handling, and multi-region infrastructure.
ISO 27001
Internationally recognized information security controls help protect healthcare applications, infrastructure, and sensitive information.
Multi-Region Hosting
Choose deployment regions based on regulatory, contractual, operational, and healthcare data residency requirements.
Data Encryption
Encryption reliably protects sensitive digital healthcare information at all times, both while at rest and in transit.
Audit Logs
Maintain visibility into important application activity for accountability, security reviews, and investigations.
Access Controls
Role-based permissions help ensure users only access information required for their responsibilities.
Data Governance
Build data access, processing, retention, and management workflows around applicable privacy requirements.
Know Your Responsibilities
No development platform alone makes a healthcare organization compliant with every regulation. Compliance depends on the application, data being processed, deployment configuration, organizational procedures, contracts, integrations, and applicable local laws. Before launching in a new market, determine where healthcare data must be stored, which certifications or assessments are required, what your customers expect during procurement, and what the relevant regulator requires from your organization.
Build Across Markets
Whether you are launching healthcare software in the UK, European Union, Australia, or expanding an existing US healthcare product internationally, DrapCode gives you a security and infrastructure foundation designed to adapt to different regulatory environments. Build to each market's requirements without treating healthcare compliance as an afterthought.
