Security & trust

Every byte, every time, in Canada.

Residential care data is some of the most sensitive material in the public record. Our security posture is the product, not a page. Every default is the conservative one. Every exception is documented.

Data residency

Canadian-hosted is a bright line, not a marketing claim.

Application
Canada

All server-side processing in a Canadian region. No US fallback.

Data at rest
Canada

Database, storage, and backups all in-region. Encrypted with per-tenant keys.

Cross-border flow
0

No PII leaves Canada, ever. Edge layers never touch resident data.

AI retention
ZDR

Zero data retention on every model call. Anonymization layer mandatory.

Defence in depth

Six layers, no weak one.

01 — Transport

TLS 1.3, HSTS, and certificate pinning.

Every request is encrypted end-to-end with modern transport standards. HSTS with preload across every surface. Certificate pinning for the native shell.

02 — Storage

AES-256 at rest, per-tenant KMS.

Object storage, database disks, and backups are encrypted with per-tenant keys. Column-level encryption for financial and identity fields.

03 — Access

Row-level security, not wishful thinking.

Row-level security on every table — enforced at the database, not the app. No privileged keys in the browser. TOTP MFA for staff + directors. Device attestation on managed tablets.

04 — Audit

Append-only. Signature-chained. Forever.

Database-level triggers capture every mutation. Entries are cryptographically chained — tamper-evident by construction. Retention follows the longest applicable provincial statute.

05 — AI

Anonymization before inference. ZDR on.

Every model call passes through a redaction layer — names, addresses, identifiers are stripped before inference. Zero data retention enabled at the boundary. Canadian-region inference.

06 — Response

A runbook, not an aspiration.

Incident response drill every 90 days. 24-hour client notification SLA. Forensic preservation and counsel contact pre-arranged.

Compliance matrix

Per province. Not per-promise.

Every Canadian jurisdiction has its own privacy act and its own child & family services framework. Here's what Caremynd honours today, and what's on the roadmap.

OCAP® & Indigenous data

Indigenous data stays Indigenous.

We follow the First Nations principles of ownership, control, access, and possession (OCAP®). Nation-specific data is tagged at the record level. Anonymized datasets cannot be derived from Indigenous-identified records without nation consent, and we don't sell data — ever.

For procurement, directors, and privacy officers

Bring the hardest question.

We'll walk your privacy officer through the whole stack — edge, functions, database, backup, AI boundary — with log samples from a live tenant.
