At Pineave, we deliver privacy-focused integration platforms for private healthcare providers in Australia, built on Microsoft Azure, and aligned with the Australian Privacy Act, GDPR (where applicable), and health data compliance frameworks.
🏥 Why Data Privacy Matters in Australian Healthcare
Private healthcare companies in Australia manage large volumes of patient health information (PHI) including:
- Electronic Health Records (EHR)
- Diagnostic data
- Claims and insurance information
- Patient communication and scheduling
A single integration failure or data leak can result in:
- Breaches of the Privacy Act 1988 (especially APP 6, 8, 11)
- Significant reputational damage
- Risk of non-compliance with My Health Record Act and GDPR
🔧 How Pineave Ensures Data Privacy in Azure-Based Healthcare Integrations
Our integration services are designed with Privacy by Design principles and purpose-built for healthcare settings.

Azure certifications:
✔️ IRAP Certified
✔️ ISO 27001, 27018
✔️ HIPAA-ready services

🧬 2. End-to-End Data Encryption & Tokenization
Every integration touchpoint is protected using:
