Technical Security Controls

Meaning

Technical Security Controls are the specific technological mechanisms and protocols implemented to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive patient data within digital health platforms and clinical systems. These controls are the essential, non-negotiable safeguards that ensure highly personal information, such as genetic profiles and hormonal data, is shielded from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Rigorous implementation of these controls is a fundamental ethical and legal obligation in modern clinical practice.
