Secure email: HIN, SEPPmail and encryption gateways

Secure email in regulated environments is our focus: HIN connectivity in Swiss healthcare, SEPPmail and other encryption gateways, transport encryption and the rule sets in between. We consult and build on a project basis, with particular attention to traceability and reversibility.

Typical starting points

A clinic or group practice has to connect its own mail infrastructure to HIN. An encryption gateway is due for replacement or a major release upgrade, but nobody fully understands the grown rule set any more. An audit asks whether patient data is actually transported encrypted. Projects like these usually fail on unknown dependencies in the existing environment, rarely on the technology, and that is exactly where we start.

Services

HIN connectivity Connecting the HIN mail gateway to Exchange or other mail systems, defining routing and exceptions cleanly, supporting platform changes.
Gateway projects Introduction, release upgrades and replacement of SEPPmail and other encryption gateways, including LDAP integration and certificate management.
Rule set clean-ups Evaluating grown rule sets as a graph, finding dead paths, planning and executing the rebuild with a way back.
Transport encryption Reviewing TLS configuration and certificates, introducing MTA-STS, proving rather than assuming that mail is transported encrypted.

How an engagement runs

  1. 1 Getting in touch and goal definition No obligation, directly with the architect in charge. We clarify where you stand and the scope, then you get a quote with transparent terms.
  2. 2 Inventory Documenting rule set, routing and dependencies before anything is changed; in regulated environments the basis for every approval.
  3. 3 Implementation in verifiable steps Each change individually testable, with a defined way back; delicate cutovers outside peak hours.
  4. 4 Proof and handover A test protocol and documentation that stands up to an audit.
