Your Data Safety: Our Top Priority
At Astral, we understand that your patient information is both sensitive and valuable. That's why we've built robust security directly into our platform's foundation, ensuring your data remains safe, private, and accessible only to authorized individuals.

End-to-End Encryption

All sensitive patient information is automatically encrypted when stored and only decrypted when accessed by authorized personnel. This means that even if someone gained unauthorized access to our database, they would only see encrypted data.

Searchable Without Compromise

We've developed a unique system that allows you to search for patient records securely. Your searches are efficient yet never expose unencrypted information in our databases—balancing practicality with top-tier security.

Compliance-Ready

Our platform is designed with healthcare regulatory compliance in mind. The encryption mechanisms we've implemented help protect patient confidentiality and support your practice's compliance efforts with health privacy regulations.

Seamless Protection

Security happens automatically—no extra steps required. Our encryption is built directly into Astral's core, protecting your data without disrupting your workflow or requiring technical expertise.

For the Technically Inclined

Astral employs a comprehensive encryption strategy:

  • Enterprise-grade encryption for all sensitive personal and medical data
  • Secure search functionality utilizing SHA-256 hash technology that allows data retrieval without decrypting databases
  • Granular access controls with role-based permissions to ensure data is only accessible to authorized personnel
  • Encrypted data-at-rest with automatic decryption only during legitimate, authenticated sessions

This balanced approach ensures both strong security and seamless functionality, giving you peace of mind without sacrificing usability.
