Security & privacy overview

Designed for HIPAA-protected workflows

Autonomous is designed to support protected healthcare workflows with defined data handling, access controls, subprocessor governance, and deployment-specific documentation.

What this page is — and what it is not

This page is a high-level overview. Exact hosting, data flow, subprocessor, and contractual terms depend on the workflow, deployment, and agreement in force with each customer.

Defined data handling

Workflow-specific documentation should describe where data enters, where it is processed, who can access it, and where outputs go.

Defined workflow boundary

Autonomous is designed to support clinician-guided workflows. Clinical judgment, diagnosis, and care decisions remain with the treating team.

Defined subprocessor governance

Subprocessors that handle protected data should be identified and governed through contract and workflow documentation.

Deployment-specific diligence

Security review is strongest when tied to the exact cohort, workflow, and deployment pattern rather than generic promises.

Healthcare-grade operational controls

A real healthcare workflow needs explicit handling rules, not just general software claims.

Controlled access

Role-based or otherwise defined access, with restricted support and administrative use tied to operational need.

Defined data flow

Clear documentation of where information originates, where it is processed, and where outputs are delivered.

Subprocessor controls

Named or documentable service providers, governed through contract and workflow-level expectations.

Documented incident handling

Defined notice and response expectations as part of the customer’s contractual and diligence process.

What serious buyers should expect

  • A workflow-specific description of how protected information enters, moves, and exits the system
  • A current subprocessor and hosting disclosure appropriate to the deployment
  • Documented role boundaries between Autonomous and the clinical team
  • Contract-level handling expectations appropriate to the intended healthcare workflow
