Case Study: Swedish Healthcare Advisory Organization strengthens patient data privacy with Axiomatics ABAC

Swedish Healthcare Advisory Organization - Customer Case Study

a Swedish healthcare advisory organization faced the challenge of establishing a secure, nationwide eHealth infrastructure to protect patient data privacy while still enabling authorized care providers to access necessary information. They partnered with Axiomatics to implement an Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) solution, built on a XACML-based authorization engine.

Axiomatics implemented a sophisticated, standards-based authorization system that evaluates access requests by combining user attributes, patient consent, and care-relation data. This solution enabled fine-grained control over sensitive health records, ensured compliance with data privacy laws, and successfully supported the national patient summary service that was launched into production. The XACML policies proved capable of handling complex, real-world scenarios including emergency access.
