Requirements

Standards and controls to assess

These labels identify requirements that may be relevant to the product; they are not Softment certifications or a compliance guarantee. Exact legal obligations, control scope, and evidence are defined with the client's counsel and, where required, validated by an independent assessor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The client, its counsel, and relevant business-associate parties define applicability, agreements, and the system boundary. We can implement the technical controls agreed in scope; legal conclusions and any formal assessment remain with qualified external advisers.

Yes. We implement integrations using FHIR/HL7 where supported by your vendor, and design a clean interface layer so data exchange is reliable and testable.

Most MVPs land in 8–12 weeks depending on workflows, integrations, and security requirements. We can phase delivery to ship a usable first release earlier.

We use least-privilege roles, secure session handling, audit logs, encrypted transport, and careful validation for PHI flows—plus monitoring to detect issues early.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Data and risk discovery (Canada)

Privacy, security, residency, and regulatory requirements differ by workflow. We document the applicable data flows, roles, retention needs, and control owners before recommending an architecture.

The resulting proposal lists the controls and evidence that are actually in scope. It is not a generic compliance, certification, or legal-assurance promise.

  • Map data sources, destinations, roles, and sensitive fields
  • Record access, retention, logging, and deletion requirements
  • Identify required security or procurement evidence before contracting
  • Use an NDA or DPA only when the parties mutually execute it

Working model (Canada)

Exact live-overlap hours, response expectations, meeting windows, and escalation contacts are confirmed in the proposal for each engagement.

Written decisions, scoped milestones, and asynchronous updates reduce unnecessary meetings without implying an unagreed service level.

  • Proposal-specific overlap and meeting windows
  • Named owners for decisions and blockers
  • Written scope, assumptions, and change decisions
  • Milestone cadence agreed before kickoff

Commercial setup (Canada)

The contracting entity, proposal currency, invoicing cadence, payment terms, intellectual-property terms, and required vendor documents are agreed before work begins.

The Opportunity Sprint can establish the evidence needed to scope a production pilot; it does not pre-commit either party to a rollout.

  • Contracting entity and currency confirmed in writing
  • Milestones and acceptance criteria defined in the proposal
  • Vendor-document requirements identified before signature
  • Scope changes require an explicit written decision

Delivery controls (Canada)

Testing, observability, release, security, and handover controls are selected for the actual system risk rather than promised as a generic bundle.

Acceptance measures and production responsibilities are recorded before implementation so both teams know what evidence will support release.

  • Risk-based testing and acceptance measures
  • Release, rollback, and observability responsibilities
  • Security controls tied to the agreed threat model
  • Handover artifacts defined in the signed scope
