Halaxy Telehealth video consultations are built on Amazon Chime, one of the most secure video consultation platforms in the world. Chime itself is built on top of Amazon's AWS service, which is HIPAA-compliant and undergoes third-party audits by a variety of public sector and private sector auditing organizations in order to maintain its status under multiple compliance offerings, such as the credit card industry’s PCI DSS Level 1, the U.S. Government’s FedRAMP program, C5 Certification in Germany, and IRAP assessment by the Australian government.
When you start a Halaxy Telehealth video consultation, unique authorisation tokens are generated for you and your patients. These are required to join the session, so they help prevent unauthorised access and eavesdropping. Halaxy introduces you and your patients to a secure Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) server that hosts your meeting, which is subject to further audited controls that restrict access. This means your meeting takes place in an isolated virtual network accessible only by you and your patients. Your audio and video never actually passes through Halaxy servers, so Halaxy cannot access your audio and video, and at no stage is your data recorded (although we may make secure video recording available to you in the future).
Your audio and video are fully encrypted in transit to AES 256-bit standards, including Transport Layer Security (TLS), Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), and Datagram Transport Layer Security-Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (DTLS-SRTP). These protocols help maintain the privacy and data integrity of your content as it traverses the Internet or any other network.
