Security for Health Made in Germany

Foundra - Secure digital solutions for health.

We connect health and technology to build secure, innovative solutions.

Vision

Technology × Health - respectful with data, tangibly effective.

Foundra develops products and systems for health that meet the highest security and quality standards. Less complexity, more safety: simple architecture-from idea and consulting to the application-privacy-by-design, GDPR-compliant, auditable.

Principle

Technology that carries responsibility

Digital systems are never truly neutral. They shape how people make decisions, how safe they feel, and whether they trust a product. Especially when personal and sensitive data is involved, technology quickly becomes part of everyday life-often closer than you’d expect.

In these contexts, responsibility doesn’t come from flashy features or big promises-it comes from how the system is built. What matters is how data moves, how consistently it is protected, and whether decisions remain understandable. Encryption, clear boundaries, and deliberate choices need to be there from day one-not as an add-on later, but as the foundation.

Over time, you see whether that foundation holds. When teams change, requirements evolve, or audits happen, the system should still make sense. Data must stay protected, relationships should remain explainable, and ownership must be clear. Trust shouldn’t depend on a few individuals “knowing how it was meant to work.”

That’s where Foundra focuses. We build digital foundations that keep responsibility visible-through clear structures, intentional reduction, and decisions you can explain. The result is systems that feel safe: for users, for teams, and for organizations working in sensitive environments.

Privacy. First.
We treat health and mental health data in accordance with GDPR-compliant privacy-by-design principles. This ensures that sensitive data is protected from the outset and remains transparent, controllable and secure in the long term. Our approach consistently adheres to the core GDPR principles, including data minimisation, purpose limitation and integrity (Art. 5), as well as data protection by design and by default (Art. 25). By defining retention and deletion rules early on and implementing robust technical and organisational measures (TOMs), we ensure that data processing is traceable, compliant and scalable, thereby reducing risk and building lasting trust.
Secure. Reliable.
When handling sensitive health and mental health data, security is embedded in the architecture from the outset. To achieve this, we rely on clear access concepts, the least privilege principle, clean key and authorization management, and robust, auditable logging. This results in systems where security decisions, access, and changes remain traceable at all times. This is a key prerequisite for audits, risk analyses, and the stable operation of data-sensitive applications.
Auditable. Explainable.
In highly regulated industries, technical and organizational traceability are key elements for security and trust. Architectures, processes, and documentation are designed in such a way that every change, every access, and every decision can be traced in an audit-proof manner—consistently, verifiably, and reliably over the long term. This results in audit-compliant systems that meet regulatory requirements while ensuring transparency, risk minimization, and operational reliability.

In the healthcare sector in particular, it is not just a matter of technical correctness, but also of responsibility towards people. At Foundra, architecture, processes, and documentation are designed in such a way that trust, the protection of sensitive health data, and long-term, auditable traceability are guaranteed at all times.

The Challenge

Why platforms become hard to explain over time

Missing or outdated documentation
Architectural decisions are made but not recorded. Why a specific account structure, IAM role, or logging strategy was chosen becomes unclear months later. Knowledge exists only implicitly in individuals’ heads and is lost when teams change.
Unclear ownership in platform operations
When ownership is not clearly defined, decisions stall or are made informally. Platform, product, and security teams work in parallel without a shared understanding of responsibility, risk, and decision paths.
Historically grown security mechanisms
Access rights, keys, and policies are extended over time but rarely reviewed consistently. This results in a security model that works technically but is no longer explainable or audit-ready.
Team growth without shared guardrails
New team members follow existing patterns without knowing the original assumptions or goals. Changes are handled cautiously because their impact on data, security, and operations is hard to predict.
Special responsibility in health and mental health contexts
In healthcare and mental health, platforms don’t just process data—they carry responsibility. Decisions about access, storage, analysis, and sharing of sensitive data must remain explainable to professionals, regulators, and the people affected.

Foundra brings structure to this complexity through explainable architectural decisions, clear ownership, and shared documentation. In mental health and healthcare environments, explainability is the foundation for trust, safe collaboration, and long-term regulatory resilience.

AWS infrastructure that protects health data. We design and build scalable, GDPR-compliant platforms—including encryption and access management.

03.Audit & Compliance

Ready for audits? We prepare your software for pen tests, ISO 27001 audits, and data protection reviews. Comprehensive documentation included.

04.Onboarding

We support your team, conduct joint code reviews, and establish best practices for security and clean code.

What makes us different

Why Foundra is different.

Collaboration

We co-develop with professionals in psychology and medicine as well as people with lived experience—transparent and collaborative.

Evidence-based

Clinical standards and current evidence are the foundation—supplemented by continuous review cycles and ongoing updates.

Mind × Tech

We apply the latest technology responsibly—exactly where it truly supports people’s mental health.

Enablement

We enable you and your team to continue independently—with clear documentation, structured knowledge transfer, targeted training, and a clean handover of responsibilities.

Crawl × Walk × Run

We start where you are—with an iterative approach: from prototype to MVP to operations or targeted improvements, with clearly defined milestones.

Outcome

Outcomes first: jointly defined success criteria set the direction and make impact measurable.
