Security Policy

CloudHealthOffice is a source-available healthcare platform that may process or model workflows involving protected health information. Treat the repository, fixtures, logs, screenshots, and benchmark artifacts accordingly.

Reporting Vulnerabilities

Do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, discussions, pull requests, or comments.

Report suspected vulnerabilities privately by email:

security@cloudhealthoffice.com

Include:

  • Affected component or route.
  • Steps to reproduce.
  • Potential impact.
  • Relevant logs or screenshots with all sensitive data removed.
  • Whether the issue may involve PHI, credentials, or tenant data.

Please do not include real PHI or production credentials in the report body.

Supported Scope

Scope Security handling
main branch Actively reviewed for security fixes
Current pull requests Reviewed before merge
Historical branches or old release notes Not supported unless explicitly stated
Local forks and deployments Maintainer guidance only

CloudHealthOffice is not currently presented as a packaged production appliance. Deployment operators are responsible for their own hosting environment, security controls, business associate agreements, and regulatory posture.

PHI And Sensitive Data Rules

Never commit or publicly share:

  • Real patient, member, subscriber, employer, provider-contract, or claim data.
  • Medical records, attachments, EOBs, remittance files, or eligibility payloads from a real environment.
  • Tokens, passwords, certificates, private keys, connection strings, or cloud credentials.
  • Screenshots that include real PHI, tenant names, account identifiers, or secrets.
  • Logs containing bearer tokens, cookies, authorization headers, database connection strings, or identifiable healthcare data.

Synthetic test data is acceptable when it cannot be linked to a real person, plan, employer, provider contract, tenant, or claim.

Secure Development Expectations

  • Use least-privilege credentials for local development.
  • Keep secrets in local environment variables or secret stores, not source files.
  • Redact or omit PHI from logs.
  • Add tests for authorization, tenant isolation, and data-handling behavior where relevant.
  • Prefer deterministic synthetic fixtures for benchmark and regression tests.
  • Document any security-sensitive default or deployment prerequisite.

Compliance Notes

HIPAA and CMS-0057-F documentation in this repository is implementation and readiness guidance, not legal advice. Production deployment requires organization-specific review, controls, contracts, monitoring, and incident response procedures.
