Data Security & Privacy
HIPAA-aligned de-identification, tokenization, 2FA-hardened SFTP, and encryption that protect regulated data across every workflow.
Life Sciences
Life science analytics depends on patient-level claims, specialty pharmacy dispenses, hub enrollments, and clinical trial records. We engineer privacy and security controls directly into the ingestion and warehousing layer so your teams can model patient behavior without exposing protected health information (PHI).
What we factor in
- HIPAA Safe Harbor & Expert Determination
- Longitudinal patient claims (APLD)
- FDA clinical trial JSON datasets
- Specialty pharmacy & hub feeds
- SFTP with 2FA and PGP encryption
- Role-based access & audit logs
HIPAA-aligned de-identification
Safe Harbor and Expert Determination workflows
Automated pipelines strip or generalize all 18 HIPAA identifiers, apply geographic and age-band aggregation rules, and enforce small-cell suppression thresholds before patient records enter analytical tables.
What it gives you: Analyze patient-level demand drivers with documented HIPAA compliance built into the pipeline.
Longitudinal patient tokenization
Privacy-preserving patient linking across feeds
Using cryptographic hashing and deterministic/probabilistic token matching, we link a patient's journey across specialty pharmacies, hubs, and medical/pharmacy claims without storing or exposing underlying PII or PHI.
What it gives you: Measure true persistency, adherence (PDC/MPR/DACON), and switching safely.
JSON clinical trial & claims de-identification
Structured nested-document redaction and masking
Expanding on our JSON-based de-identification capabilities developed for FDA clinical trial and claims datasets, we parse, mask, and validate deeply nested JSON payloads while preserving schema integrity and clinical utility.
What it gives you: Prepare complex clinical and real-world evidence datasets for analysis and regulatory sharing.
Hardened SFTP with 2FA
Multi-factor authentication and chroot isolation
All external data partner transfers run over dedicated SFTP servers enforcing two-factor authentication (SSH key + TOTP/MFA), strict IP allowlisting, chroot directory sandboxing, and automated PGP file encryption.
What it gives you: Eliminate unsecured file transfers across your specialty pharmacy and vendor network.
Role-based access & row-level security
Least-privilege governance across teams
We configure role-based access control (RBAC) and row- or column-level security in your warehouse and RoadMap GPS 360 environment so users only see the brands, territories, and de-identified fields authorized for their role.
What it gives you: Share one central warehouse across commercial, medical, and finance with strict data boundaries.
Immutable audit trails & compliance evidence
Access logging, lineage, and security reviews
Every file transfer, authentication event, de-identification run, schema change, and query against sensitive tables is written to tamper-evident audit logs, backed by our engineering team's experience achieving HITRUST r2 certification in 2022.
What it gives you: Pass vendor risk assessments and internal security audits with complete evidence on hand.
Consumer Goods & Retail
Commercial price lists, unannounced product launches, retailer margin simulations, and M&A valuation models are among a company's most sensitive competitive assets. We protect your commercial and supply chain data across cloud, on-premises, and partner boundaries.
What we factor in
- Confidential pricing and trade terms
- Unannounced launch and M&A models
- Retailer POS and vendor portals
- On-premises vs. cloud data sovereignty
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Encryption in transit and at rest
Sovereign on-premises or private-cloud deployment
Zero data egress when policy requires it
For organizations that cannot send commercial or defense supply data to third-party SaaS clouds, RoadMap GPS, RoadMap GPS 360, and the Geneva Forecasting™ Engine deploy entirely on-premises or inside your virtual private cloud (VPC).
What it gives you: Run enterprise forecasting with 100% control over where your data resides.
Secure B2B partner file exchange
2FA-protected SFTP and encrypted APIs
When exchanging POS actuals, order forecasts, or inventory balances with retail partners, 3PLs, and co-manufacturers, we enforce two-factor authentication, TLS 1.3 / SSHv2 transport, and PGP payload encryption.
What it gives you: Share CPFR and supply chain data with external partners without opening network vulnerabilities.
Commercial & pricing compartmentalization
Account- and margin-level access controls
Row- and column-level security separates wholesale cost, manufacturing margin, and retailer-specific trade terms from general planning views, so planners see unit demand while finance and leadership see full P&L impact.
What it gives you: Collaborate on one S&OP plan without exposing sensitive margin or contract terms broadly.
Customer & household PII anonymization
Privacy-safe direct-to-consumer and loyalty analytics
For ecommerce and omnichannel brands analyzing household trial, repeat, and cohort retention, our pipelines hash and tokenize customer identifiers, emails, and addresses before data lands in analytics marts.
What it gives you: Run household-level Parfitt-Collins and retention models without exposing consumer PII.
API key security & IP allowlisting
Scoped credentials for the Geneva Forecasting™ API
Automated pipelines and internal apps connecting to the Geneva Forecasting™ API use scoped keys, configurable rate limits, IP allowlisting, and encrypted secret-vault rotation.
What it gives you: Embed automated forecasting into internal tools with enterprise-grade API governance.
Encryption & backup resilience
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and disaster recovery
All planning databases, staging buckets, and forecast snapshots are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and backed up with point-in-time recovery and tested restore runbooks.
What it gives you: Protect the planning environment against data loss, ransomware, and accidental deletion.
Defense-in-depth security across every layer of the data lifecycle
At RoadMap Technologies, security is engineered into the architecture from the first conversation rather than bolted on before go-live. Building on decades of enterprise database engineering, our 2022 HITRUST r2 certification milestone, and our 2023 expansion into JSON-based de-identification for FDA clinical trial and claims data, we protect sensitive life science and commercial datasets at every stage:
| Security Layer | Technical Controls We Implement | What It Protects |
|---|---|---|
| Transport & Partner Ingestion | Hardened SFTP servers with Two-Factor Authentication (SSH key + TOTP/MFA), TLS 1.3 HTTPS APIs, IP allowlisting, and chroot isolation | Inbound specialty pharmacy feeds, EDI 852/867 files, clinical datasets, and retail POS transfers |
| Payload & Storage Encryption | PGP/GPG file-level encryption on drop zones, AES-256 encryption at rest across databases and object storage, and customer-managed keys | Raw partner landing zones, cloud and on-premises data warehouses, and historical forecast snapshots |
| De-Identification & Tokenization | HIPAA Safe Harbor & Expert Determination, deterministic/probabilistic patient tokenization, JSON clinical trial redaction, and small-cell suppression | Anonymized patient-level data (APLD), longitudinal claims, hub records, and consumer loyalty PII |
| Access Governance & Audit | Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), row/column-level security, scoped API keys with IP restrictions, and immutable access/change logs | Brand and portfolio forecasts, gross-to-net models, manufacturing margins, and M&A scenarios |
On-premises, private cloud, or RoadMap-managed infrastructure
When regulatory, government, or corporate security policies prohibit external SaaS multi-tenancy, RoadMap supports complete data sovereignty:
- On-premises and VPC deployments: Run RoadMap GPS, RoadMap GPS 360, and the Enterprise edition of the Geneva Forecasting™ API entirely inside your own data center or private cloud environment.
- Zero-retention forecasting: When using the Geneva Forecasting™ API, time-series payloads are processed in memory by the C++ engine in under 200 ms on average without training shared models on your proprietary business data.
- NDA and BAA readiness: We routinely execute non-disclosure agreements and business associate structures tailored to life science, healthcare, and Fortune 500 information-security requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What is data security & privacy?
Data security and privacy services protect sensitive, proprietary, and regulated datasets while keeping them usable for forecasting and advanced analytics. RoadMap Technologies engineers HIPAA-aligned de-identification (Safe Harbor and Expert Determination), longitudinal patient tokenization, JSON clinical trial de-identification, two-factor authentication (2FA) across SFTP and planning systems, encryption in transit and at rest, and immutable audit trails.
Which HIPAA de-identification methods do you implement?
We implement both HIPAA Safe Harbor (removing all 18 specified identifiers and generalizing dates and geography) and Expert Determination workflows, along with small-cell suppression and JSON-based de-identification for FDA clinical trial and healthcare claims datasets.
How does longitudinal patient tokenization work without exposing PHI?
Deterministic and probabilistic hashing generates an irreversible cryptographic token from patient attributes before records leave the secure landing zone, allowing analysts to link prescriptions, claims, and hub milestones for the same patient over time without storing names, SSNs, or dates of birth.
How are SFTP file transfers and database storage encrypted?
All file transfers run over SSHv2/SFTP with two-factor authentication or TLS 1.3 HTTPS, with PGP/GPG encryption on the files themselves. Data at rest in cloud or on-premises warehouses is encrypted with AES-256, protected by role-based access control and immutable audit logs.
Can RoadMap software and databases run entirely on-premises for data sovereignty?
Yes. RoadMap GPS, RoadMap GPS 360, and the Enterprise edition of the Geneva Forecasting™ API can be deployed 100% on-premises or inside your private cloud VPC so sensitive commercial, clinical, or defense data never leaves your network.
