Best-in-class cybersecurity, built into the platform.
Provation Apex is a cloud-native platform backed by independently audited certifications and attestations, and the operational resilience of Microsoft Azure – so protecting data doesn't fall to your servers or your patch schedule.
ISO/IEC 27001 · ISO/IEC 27701 · ISO/IEC 27017 · ISO/IEC 27018 · ISO 22301
Exposure grows with every unpatched server.
Healthcare data is a high-value target, and every unpatched server adds exposure.
For organizations still running procedure documentation on premises, patching competes with every other demand on a stretched IT team – and when software reaches end of support, the patches stop while the data does not.
Audited by independents, not by us.
Provation's cloud subscription services hold independent ISO certifications for information security, privacy, cloud security, cloud data protection, and business continuity. HIPAA compliance is a baseline requirement for every Provation solution.

Resilience your IT team doesn't have to build.
Provation Apex runs on Microsoft Azure, inheriting best-in-class operational resilience – and removing whole categories of work from your IT team.
Continuous security updates
Real-time software and security updates applied automatically every two weeks – no maintenance window required.
Geo-replicated and highly available
Automatic data backup and built-in resiliency across replicated environments. No server backups to maintain.
Updates without interruption
Security posture improves without taking the service away from clinicians – no downtime for updates or backups.
PHI encrypted throughout
Patient, provider, and exam data is encrypted – with operational telemetry kept separate and free of PHI.
Smaller attack surface
Minimal hardware means fewer servers to harden, patch, and defend. Document on any internet-enabled device.
Support when you need it
Standard support 5:30 am–11 pm CT Monday–Thursday and 5:30 am–6 pm CT Friday, with emergency after-hours support every day of the year.
What changes when you move off servers.
| Server-based | Provation Apex | |
|---|---|---|
| Security updates | Applied manually by the customer, on the customer's schedule | Continuous, real-time updates applied automatically every two weeks |
| Backups | Customer-managed server backups, with downtime to run them | Automatic, continuous backups – nothing to maintain, no downtime |
| Ransomware exposure | On-premises servers are the target; recovery depends on local backups | Continuous automatic data and software backups mitigate the impact of malware and ransomware |
| Infrastructure | Database managed and maintained by the customer | Geo-replicated, highly available Azure environments managed by Provation |
| IT effort | Ongoing cost of maintaining servers and keeping up with critical updates | Internal IT resources reduced by up to 80%; support case resolution time down 50% |

Built for the teams who have to answer for it.

Compliance & privacy officers
Independently certified ISO controls, a SOC 2 Type II report available under NDA, and HIPAA compliance – with privacy protections governing how personal data is accessed.
Executives & risk leaders
Material reduction in ransomware exposure – so a breach in the procedure room isn't a line item on next year's budget.
Clinical leaders
Security that doesn't cost availability – no downtime for updates, and access from any internet-enabled device.
