System Security
Virus Protection
The Monarch Platform is built on a hardened Ubuntu Linux kernel, with strict user
permissions set up. Only qualified Auris field service technicians have the
required permissions to install software on the Monarch Platform.
Patient Data Security
The Monarch Platform fully encrypts all Patient Health Information (PHI) at rest
utilizing the Botan library, using the Advance Encryption Standard AES - 256.
This applies to all internal hard drives as well as any plans that users create and
transfer via Monarch USB drives.
Networking
Firewall
The Monarch Platform utilizes the Ubuntu firewall, blocking all inbound
connections, outbound connections, https, and DNS. One port is open to allow
outbound data extraction.
Internet Connectivity
The Monarch Platform has the ability to send case information to the Auris data
lake. The Auris system de-identifies all PHI from the case data before it is sent to
the Auris data lake. Additionally, the connection that is utilized to send the
information to the Auris data lake follows a well-architected framework and is
communicated via 256-bit encrypted SSL.
