The Governance Control Plane for Healthcare AI

Patient identity
never leaves your network.

SECUVA™ is the independent Control Layer that enables healthcare organisations to accelerate AI adoption safely and at scale.

The Governance Control Plane

Your data. Your rules.
Every AI under your control.

Protect patient identity. Govern every authorised AI relationship.

First crystal boundary: patient identity remains within the protected environment while minimised clinical signal proceeds. Second crystal boundary: governance authority evaluates candidate pathways, suppresses unauthorised routes at the boundary, and permits only authorised flows to continue towards approved AI destinations with retained evidence.

Patient identity stays protected. Only necessary clinical information moves forward.

Your authority determines which AI receives what information, with evidence you retain.

How it works

One independent governance layerbetween your healthcare data and your approved AI.

The AI provider does not decide what it is allowed to receive. Your organisation does.

  • Australian-hosted control plane and governance evidence
  • Governs medical imaging releases to approved AI destinations today
  • Governed decisions and releases preserved in an immutable audit trail

Why Now

AI is moving into the centre of care.Integration scales faster than accountability.

From December 2026 through 2027, binding AI, health-data, and underwriting mandates converge across Australia, the United States, and Europe - placing legal proof squarely on the data custodian. Transparency is the obligation; governability is the capability.

Global Healthcare AI Statutory Cliffs: 2026–2027 Custodian Accountability Mandates
Statutory Cliff DateJurisdiction & InstrumentsCustodian Accountability Shift
10 December 2026Australia - Privacy Act APPs 1.7–1.9 & ACL [2025] FCA 1224Automated-decision transparency commences across private health (clinician review does not exempt AI), backed by Federal Court precedent holding external vendor monitoring alone fails reasonable steps.
1 January 2027United States - CMS-0057-F, State ADMT, ONC HTI-1 & HIPAAFederal FHIR and state clinical ADMT duties join active ONC HTI-1 model rules while 42% cyber AI exclusions and Chapter 11 vendor insolvencies expose cloud-only 6-year HIPAA logs.
26 March 2027Europe - EHDS Reg. 2025/327, EU AI Act Art. 26 & EDPB 01/2025EHDS governance rules commence ahead of Dec 2027 EU AI Act high-risk deployer logs, backed by EDPB 01/2025 and €12M DPA fines requiring hospital-held re-identification keys.

10 Dec 2026· APPs 1.7–1.9 · ACL FCA

Privacy Act automated-decision rules commence across private health - clinician review does not exempt AI - after the Federal Court (ACL, A$5.8M) ruled vendor monitoring alone fails “reasonable steps.”

01 Jan 2027· ONC HTI-1 · HIPAA

Federal FHIR and state ADMT duties join active ONC HTI-1 model rules - just as 42% cyber AI exclusions and vendor Chapter 11 insolvencies expose cloud-only 6-year HIPAA logs.

26 Mar 2027· EHDS · EU AI Act

EHDS health-data governance commences ahead of Dec 2027 EU AI Act Art. 26 deployer logs - backed by EDPB 01/2025 and €12M DPA fines requiring hospital-held keys.

Independent by Design

Your AI ecosystem will change.Your governance shouldn’t.

Keep governance authority on your side of every AI vendor, marketplace, and model.

Optical boundary sculpture with left-to-right architectural continuity: on the left (Your Side), patient identity custody, clinical signal rules, and a continuous immutable audit ledger remain calm and invariant behind a vertical sapphire governance monolith; on the right (Changing AI Ecosystem), a precision orbital turret rotates interchangeable AI vendors, marketplaces, and foundation models into and out of the monolith's single universal optical coupler while cleanly holding off unauthorised models.
Sovereign Governance Custody vs. Rotating External AI Ecosystem
Custody PillarWhat Changes on the External Ecosystem SideWhat Remains Constant on Your Side
01 Your PolicyImaging AI vendors, clinical marketplaces, and foundation models rotate, consolidate, or change commercial terms.Purpose, scope, and destination rules are defined once at your sovereign coupler and applied consistently across every authorised module.
02 Your BoundaryExternal AI endpoints snap in, upgrade, or decouple on the ecosystem turret, and unapproved models attempt connection.Patient identity and re-identification keys remain permanently on your side of the sapphire boundary, never crossing into external clouds.
03 Your EvidenceThird-party AI vendors rebrand, deprecate versions, consolidate, or exit the market.One continuous, immutable record of governed AI interactions accumulates inside your custody across statutory retention windows.

Define purpose, scope, and destination rules once. Apply the same standard across every AI vendor, marketplace, and model.

Patient identity and re-identification keys remain inside your environment, so adding, swapping, or severing external AI never exposes custody.

Retain one continuous, immutable record of governed AI interactions - even as external vendors consolidate, upgrade, or exit.

Sovereign Control Plane

Global AI.Local governance authority.

Built for a world where AI knows no borders, but healthcare accountability does. SECUVA keeps governance authority local while opening access to frontier AI globally. Faster adoption. Lower governance overhead. Earlier return on your AI investment.

Sovereign statutory governance authorities

United States · HIPAA inline boundary authority

Built for health systems & sovereign clouds
SECUVA sovereign globe turning across the United States (HIPAA), the European Union (EU AI Act and GDPR), Australia (Privacy Act) and Canada (PIPEDA).
One governance platform

One control plane.
Across healthcare data modalities.

Live today with PixelIQ™ for Medical Imaging – built to scale across every clinical modality.

One policy architectureOne evidence modelModality-specific protection at the edge

Govern it once. Reuse the control model for every approved AI destination that follows.

Built for the people who carry the accountability

One platform. Different questions.

Board & Risk Committee

Can management demonstrate how healthcare AI relationships are governed?

Visibility into governed destinations, authority, policy and evidence gives executive governance a defensible view beyond policies and spreadsheets.

Outcome

Assurance that governance exists operationally, not only on paper.

Governance that records intent is GRC.Governance that enforces authority is infrastructure.
