Data Privacy Scaffolding

Meaning

Data privacy scaffolding refers to the robust, layered structural framework of technical controls, legal policies, and organizational procedures designed to protect sensitive personal health information (PHI) collected during clinical practice and wellness monitoring. This framework ensures adherence to stringent regulatory standards like HIPAA, establishing secure protocols for data collection, storage, transmission, and access. It is the architectural assurance of confidentiality and security for patient-specific biological data.
