Governance
Know who accessed which patient record
Prove every access. Spot misuse early. Keep patient data on European soil. Guardsix Governance for Healthcare gives hospital IT and compliance teams the visibility, reporting and audit trails healthcare regulators expect — without adding a click to a clinician’s day.
01 Audit readiness
Patient-record access is now an audit question
Across Europe, the bar for patient-data accountability keeps rising. GDPR. NIS2. National rules like Sweden’s Patient Data Act. UK data protection and Caldicott guidance. All of them expect you to prove who opened which record, why, and how that access was reviewed.
For a lean hospital IT and compliance team, that turns every audit, investigation and access review into a manual evidence hunt — weeks of work to answer a question that should take an hour.
02 Evidence collection
The evidence sits in five places at once.
Every record access leaves a trace — but those traces live across EHR systems, identity providers, application logs and departmental workflows. No one team sees the full picture.
So the work becomes manual. Pull a report here. Reconcile records there. Chase IT for the missing piece. Reviews run slow, context goes missing, and audit prep takes far longer than it should.
03 Review controls
Access reviews still happen in spreadsheets.
Most access reviews live outside any controlled system. Reports are exported, emailed, marked up in spreadsheets, passed between teams — with no consistent record of what changed, who reviewed it, or what was decided.
Which creates a second problem. Even when the access evidence is solid, the review itself may not be defensible. The trail from “this happened” to “we reviewed it and signed it off” needs to live inside the system, not in someone’s inbox.

Turn access activity into evidence
Access control should not depend on manual reviews, disconnected logs, or ad hoc reporting. It requires a consistent way to collect, structure, and review access activity and use it as evidence.
Govern access with confidence
See who accessed what
Track access to sensitive records, systems, and data sources with clear timelines and structured audit trails.
Prove policy alignment
Give auditors the evidence they need to show that access followed internal rules, regulatory requirements, and data privacy laws.
Explain access with ease
Respond to record requests with a few short clicks. Share access control reports with users, patients, and authorities on demand.
Keep evidence under control
Run governance workflows in a controlled environment that supports sovereign deployment needs and customer-owned access decisions.
How Guardsix supports access control
Authentication and authorisation
Control who can see the trail. Role-based permissions let your compliance and audit teams do their work without standing admin rights — and without sharing reports over email. Every reviewer sees only what their role allows.
Configurable to your environment
Watch the records that matter most. Choose which systems, data sets and access patterns Guardsix monitors most closely. Your team’s attention lands on the records and behaviours that carry the most regulatory and clinical risk — not on noise.
Search and reports
Answer access questions in minutes, not weeks. Search every access event, generate structured reports, and pull audit-ready evidence views without going log-by-log. Whoever asks — your DPO, your auditor, a department head — gets the same answer, fast.
