Security & Compliance
Post-n-Track eliminates the centralized honey pot with a zero-residency architecture: PHI (protected health information) is never stored at rest, which removes the primary attack surface for healthcare data breaches.
Hackers Can't Steal What Isn't There
Healthcare data breaches are caused less by weak perimeter security than by the existence of centralized repositories containing millions to billions of records. The attack surface is an architectural flaw to be eliminated rather than a vulnerability to be patched.
Post-n-Track's zero-residency architecture eliminates the honey pot by design. PHI is processed in flight, validated, normalized, and routed to its destination without creating a persistent copy. Organizations that share data through the platform are not exposed to the breach risk profile of a centralized aggregator; the attack surface that has cost the healthcare industry billions of dollars in breach costs does not exist in the Post-n-Track architecture. We are Data Guardians, not Data Owners.
The largest healthcare breaches are consequences of concentration: a single intermediary holding the transaction history of thousands of organizations. Zero-residency architecture removes the concentration. PNT authenticates, validates, and routes in transit and retains no PHI at rest, an approach recognized with the 2026 MedTech Breakthrough Award for Best Overall Healthcare Cybersecurity Solution.
The Case Against Retention
The risk sits in the repository itself. Controls layered on top of one cannot remove it.
Concentration Is the Vulnerability
Healthcare's worst data events share a shape. An intermediary accumulates PHI from many organizations because its architecture requires storage to function. That repository becomes the highest-value target in the sector, because compromising one vendor yields what compromising hundreds of providers would. The controls layered on top (encryption, access management, monitoring) are necessary and they are not sufficient, because they all protect something that continues to exist. An attacker with valid credentials is authorized. Encryption at rest is transparent to them.
The Operational Half Nobody Costs
A compromised intermediary is a privacy event and an outage at once. The same system that held the data was moving it. When it goes down, claims stop, remittances stop, eligibility stops, and cash flow stops across every organization connected to it, simultaneously. This is why intermediary concentration is a business continuity question as well as a security one, and why it is increasingly a board question rather than a CISO question.
Data Guardians, Not Data Owners
Every intermediary will tell you it does not sell your data. That is a policy. Policies last as long as the current owner, the current board, and the current business model. An architecture that never retains the data is structural. It does not depend on anyone's continued good intentions, and it does not depend on the next acquirer's view of what the data is worth. That is the difference between a promise and a property.
Certifications and Accreditations
Nationally recognized certifications and accreditations, assessed by independent third parties, cover the platform and the organization that operates it.
HITRUST
HITRUST certification assesses an organization's security and privacy controls against the HITRUST framework, which consolidates HIPAA and other regulatory and industry requirements into one set of controls verified by an independent assessor.
CAQH CORE
CAQH CORE certification verifies that the platform conforms to the operating rules for eligibility, claim status, and EFT/ERA transactions: the rules on top of the X12 standard that make real-time exchange work the same way across payers.
DirectTrust
DirectTrust (EHNAC) Healthcare Network Accreditation reviews a network's privacy, security, and operational practices for handling protected health information, on a recurring cycle.
SOC 2 Type II
A SOC 2 Type II report is an independent auditor's examination of the security, availability, and confidentiality controls in operation over a period of time, rather than a point-in-time review.
Infrastructure and Operations
Post-n-Track Gen 3 combats the root cause of cybersecurity risk, unnecessary PHI/PII exposure, with no retention in transit, at rest, or within user portals.
No PHI/PII Persisting
No PHI or PII persists in transit or at rest, and there are no data portals containing PHI or PII.
Resilient AWS Infrastructure
AWS-based multi-zone infrastructure with intelligent routing and failover.
Real-Time Alerting and Reporting
Alerting and reporting through metadata, so visibility never requires the payload.
Third-Party Audit Verification
Controls verified by independent third-party audits, on a recurring cycle.
Simple to Adopt
No long-term agreement or exclusivity, with 100% U.S.-based onboarding and support.
Veteran-Owned
PNT Data Corp. is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
Frequently Asked Questions
How does zero-residency architecture prevent healthcare data breaches?
It removes the target. Traditional intermediaries accumulate the transaction history of thousands of organizations into one repository, which becomes the highest-value target in the sector. Zero-residency routes and validates in transit without retaining the transaction, so there is no accumulated repository to compromise. Only transactions in flight are exposed at any moment.
Isn't encryption at rest enough?
Encryption at rest protects data that still exists. It is transparent to an attacker holding valid credentials, and credential compromise is the dominant pattern in large healthcare breaches. Encryption is necessary; it does not address concentration.
What happens to my operations if my clearinghouse is breached?
Typically they stop. The system that held the data is the system that moved it, so a compromise is simultaneously a privacy event and an outage: claims, remittances, and eligibility halt across every connected organization at once. This is why intermediary concentration is a continuity question as well as a security one.
What does 'Data Guardians, not Data Owners' mean?
It means PNT does not retain, use, or sell customer data, enforced by architecture rather than policy. A policy lasts as long as the current owner and business model. An architecture that never stores the data does not depend on anyone's continued intentions.
