SECURITY BY DESIGN

A protected path for laboratory data.

LSCA is designed to carry authorized laboratory messages through controlled, encrypted connections to the systems approved to receive them. Security controls apply at the laboratory endpoint, during transport and at the central destination.

CORE CONTROLS

Protection across the exchange.

Each security layer has a defined role so laboratory messages can move through an authorized and traceable communication pathway.

01 / IN TRANSIT

TLS 1.3 encryption

LSCA protects authorized laboratory traffic using TLS 1.3 while it travels between the local client and the central endpoint.

02 / IDENTITY

Certificate authentication

Client and central services use assigned digital certificates to verify identity before establishing the protected connection.

03 / TRAFFIC CONTROL

Context-aware filtering

Rules identify configured HL7, ASTM and FHIR traffic by its expected source, destination, protocol and communication context.

04 / NETWORK BOUNDARY

Restricted routing

Firewall and endpoint rules limit communication to approved destinations. Traffic outside the configured context is not transmitted through the secure channel.

WHERE SECURITY APPLIES

From the site to the central service.

The diagnostic instrument and LIS continue to produce their normal result messages. LSCA protects the communication pathway to the central endpoint without changing the diagnostic result or interfering with the standard testing workflow.

View the complete workflow
  1. 01

    Local source

    The laboratory system generates and sends its supported message through the configured local interface.

  2. 02

    Traffic verification

    LSCA checks the source, destination and communication context against the authorized configuration.

  3. 03

    Protected transport

    Approved laboratory traffic travels through the TLS 1.3 encrypted channel to the authenticated destination.

  4. 04

    Central processing

    The middleware receives, validates and stores the result for authorized operational use.

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

Security controls managed from one place.

The central administration panel supports client registration, approved connection policies, certificate status, connection monitoring and audit visibility across deployed sites.

Invalid, expired or revoked certificates can be rejected, while relevant connection failures and security events can be recorded for investigation.

CONTROLLED ACCESS

Share data with the right systems and people.

Transport protection is one part of the overall security model. Central applications can apply role-based permissions, while administrators retain control over approved destinations and the data made available for onward exchange.

When a FHIR API or another outbound interface is configured, it operates as a separate exchange step with its own authentication, authorization and endpoint controls.
