Infrastructure

HADS Hosting by OSPI

Medicapp Pro relies on OSPI's infrastructure, a certified health data hosting provider. Medicapp does not operate its own data centers.

OSPI is a certified Health Data Hosting provider (HADS), accredited by the French Ministry of Health. This certification ensures that the physical, network and software infrastructure meets French and European regulatory requirements for processing personal health data.

Data is hosted exclusively in France, in data centers compliant with ISO 27001 standards. There is no data transfer outside the European Union.

Authentication is managed by Medicapp through a multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanism deployed on OSPI's infrastructure. Access rights management between practitioners is fully delegated to the client via Trust Spaces, with read or write permissions revocable at any time. All actions are subject to a full audit trail accessible directly from the front-end applications.

The relationship between Medicapp Connect SAS and OSPI is governed by a data processing agreement compliant with Article 28 of the GDPR (DPA). This agreement is available on request.

OSPI's certifications are available upon request. If you are a DPO, compliance officer or CIO, we will provide the attestations on simple request at contact@medicappconnect.com.
