Security, trust and digital resilience in care environments
Trust matters. Digital care technologies support vulnerable individuals and safety-critical workflows. Trust is therefore not optional.
Security by design, not by add-on
Care technologies from ASSA ABLOY are built on decades of experience in secure identity, access control and digital infrastructure. This heritage shapes how security is approached across care environments.
Key principles include:
- Secure communication between devices, systems and platforms
- Controlled access to functions, data and administration tools
- Clear separation of roles and permissions
- Architectures designed to support long-term resilience
Security is treated as a foundational capability – not a feature that depends on configuration choices or optional modules.
Protecting personal integrity and sensitive data
Care technologies often handle information related to individuals, locations and events. Protecting personal integrity is essential.
Our approach is based on:
- Data minimization – only the information required for care and safety workflows is processed
- Purpose-driven data use – data is used to support care delivery, not for unrelated profiling
- Role-based access – staff and partners only see what is relevant to their responsibilities
- Secure data handling – encrypted communication and controlled system access
This helps partners and care organizations meet regulatory requirements while maintaining trust with citizens, residents and patients.
