Why a secure environment?

Accessing real-world health data involves regulatory, technical and analytical constraints that only a dedicated environment can address.

Strict regulation

Health data is sensitive data subject to GDPR, HDS certification and CNIL authorisations (data warehouses, MR-004). Every access must be supervised and logged.

Data security

Any exfiltration is impossible: no copy-paste, no Internet access from the analysis environment, sessions fully recorded.

Analytical value

Your teams need direct access to data to iterate quickly on their analyses without going through an intermediary.

A ready-to-use analysis environment

A secure environment is an isolated computing environment, hosted on Clinityx's HDS infrastructure, in which your teams can analyse pseudonymised health data without ever removing it from the secure perimeter.

  • Access via secure VPN (Ivanti Secure Access + MFA)
  • Windows virtual machine behind Wallix bastion
  • Sessions fully recorded
  • Analysis tools: Python (Jupyter), R (RStudio), LibreOffice
  • Data prepared and minimised by our data scientists
  • GDPR, HDS compliance and CNIL registration included
