Healthcare-Specific Cloud Security and Compliance Across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud

Founded in 2009, ClearDATA built its business around a single vertical: cloud security and compliance for organizations that handle protected health information. Its customers span hospital systems and providers, payers, healthcare software and services vendors, medical device manufacturers, and life sciences and pharmaceutical firms, with Children's Health, Genentech, and Omnicell among the referenced names. Founder and chief information security officer Chris Bowen positioned the company as the first cloud compliance and security offering built exclusively for healthcare rather than adapted to it after the fact.

The core technology is the CyberHealth platform, a cloud security posture management layer that sits across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It continuously evaluates customer environments against more than 300 healthcare-specific safeguards mapped to HIPAA, HITRUST, GDPR, ISO, NIST, and PCI, surfacing misconfigurations, exposure risks, and potential PHI leakage through dashboards and real-time compliance scoring. Around that software sits a managed layer: 24/7 managed detection and response, day-to-day cloud operations and configuration management, and professional services covering migration, modernization, and cloud assessments.

What separates the approach from general-purpose posture management tools is that every control maps to healthcare regulation rather than generic cloud benchmarks, paired with engineers who operate the environment instead of only reporting on it. The organization is HITRUST certified, SOC 2 audited, and HIPAA and GDPR aligned, and holds AWS managed security services provider, Microsoft Gold, and Google Cloud partner status. Company-reported outcomes include zero breaches across managed environments, average customer compliance scores above 93 percent, and materially shortened HITRUST certification timelines.
