The challenge

The solution

In collaboration with Adnovum, MediData initially devised its security concept in 2017. During the implementation of its new platform over the following two years, MediData benefited from Adnovum’s technical expertise. Within the MediData Network, the individual applications – including the customer portal, in which customers can configure their settings, and the internal support department tool – are protected by the Nevis Identity Suite.

To ensure that no unauthorized individuals can access sensitive billing details, the appliance products are secured by OAuth. Users register using a private and a public key, while access is provided via an access token. Adnovum guided the technical implementation of the project and helped meet one specific challenge during the project: user registration would expire after a short period of time. For this reason, MediData and Adnovum developed a system to automatically renew the registration. Ensuring multi-client support was also an important point. As some admins are healthcare practice assistants who work in a group medical practice but act as administrators for multiple organizational units, ensuring multi-client support was crucial. Therefore, a solution to assign different roles to users covering multiple units was adopted.
