Is sycana AI HIPAA-compliant and safe to deploy?

sycana AI is designed for clinics that need a HIPAA-ready referral layer without building on-prem infrastructure. It runs in US cloud infrastructure, encrypts data with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, scopes access by role, and retains audit logs for seven years. A BAA is signed before any PHI is processed. If your organization requires all software to run inside your own data center, this deployment model will not fit. Security review materials are available before you commit.

Built for your security review.

Role-Based Data Scoping

Four data scopes (clinical full, clinical lite, scheduling, and operational), each with automatic PHI redaction. Staff only see what their role requires.

Complete Audit Trail

Every action is logged with actor, role, timestamp, and IP. Audit logs are preserved with tamper-evident hash chaining and 7-year retention for HIPAA compliance.

Epic SMART on FHIR + EHR Adapters

Native OAuth 2.0 integration with Epic (SMART on FHIR), plus structured exports and selected vendor-specific integrations where configured. No VPN tunnels, no Mirth Connect, no HL7 pipes.

Processing Reliability

Failed jobs land in a dead letter queue with automatic retry tracking. No referral is silently dropped.

Automated Onboarding

New practices are onboarded with NPI validation via the NPPES registry, service matrix configuration, and fax line provisioning. Implementation timeline depends on EHR and security review.

SMS Compliance

Patient SMS includes opt-out tracking, idempotent delivery, and per-practice template controls. Messaging is activated per-tenant during configuration.
