Chairsyde AI · Security

We take data security seriously

Every day, patients and dentists trust Chairsyde with highly sensitive data. That responsibility is immense, and we treat it that way.

Our approach

Chairsyde is built to make consultations clearer for patients and the workflow simpler for clinicians. Getting that right means being clear about what data we process, why we process it, and how it is used.

We follow the principle of least privilege, so access to data is restricted to only those who absolutely need it.

We meet best-in-class security and privacy standards

Security in a snapshot

The detail behind the reassurance

A closer look at how security runs across the platform, the network, our devices, and our recovery planning.

Application & network security

  • Data storage and compliance. Our storage adheres to strict data protection regulations, including GDPR, so sensitive information is handled to the highest standard.
  • Access controls. Rigorous controls follow the principle of least privilege, so users only reach the data their role needs.
  • Network security. Advanced segmentation, continuous monitoring, and firewalls protect against unauthorised access and threats.

Endpoint security

  • Comprehensive protection. All internal Chairsyde devices run advanced anti-malware and anti-virus software.
  • Device management policies. Robust policies govern device management and endpoint protection across every device.
  • Regular updates. Ongoing update and patch management keeps systems secure and current against emerging threats.

Monitoring, backup & recovery

  • Real-time monitoring. Monitoring and alerting let us identify and address security incidents quickly.
  • Disaster recovery. Our disaster recovery plan is tested twice a year to confirm it is effective and ready.
  • Recovery objectives. Clear recovery time and recovery point objectives keep downtime and data loss to a minimum.
