Cryptographic governance rails for hospitals and regulated enterprises.

Enforce policy at the protocol layer: no receipt, no run. Every high-risk call is gated by cryptographic receipts and epoch-based revocation.

Stop decorative governance

Block at the HTTP layer, not just log.

Cryptographic receipts

Every decision is backed by a signed, audit-ready receipt.

Healthcare-grade controls

Designed for Epic/Cerner ecosystems and regulated environments.

What Final Boss Technologies does

We build "governance rails" that sit in front of sensitive systems (FHIR servers, IDV services, core APIs). These rails enforce policy with cryptographic receipts (CDTs), epochs, and Merkle-based audit trails.

The result: high-risk operations only execute when there is a valid, provable receipt; otherwise the call is blocked before it reaches the backend.

We build enforcement rails that sit in front of your EHR, IDV, or core APIs. Every high-risk call is evaluated against policy, wrapped in a Cryptographic Data Totem (CDT), and either allowed or blocked before it reaches your system of record.

Epoch-based revocation lets you flip policy in milliseconds: bump an epoch and every stale receipt is instantly invalid. No code redeploys, no manual clean-up.

How the governance rail works

1

App calls the rail, not the backend

Your app sends requests (e.g., FHIR calls, IDV operations, payments) to the governance rail instead of directly to your EHR or core system.

2

Policy → CDT → decision

The rail evaluates policy, builds a Cryptographic Data Totem (CDT) that encodes purpose, retention, jurisdiction, and other signals, and binds it to the request.

3

Epoch and receipt check

The rail verifies the CDT against the current epoch and receipt store. If the receipt is valid and in-policy, the call is allowed and proxied downstream. If not, the rail returns a 4xx/5xx and the backend never sees the request.

4

Merkle audit and governance controls

Every decision is recorded as a receipt and rolled into a Merkle tree for integrity. Governance can bump epochs, revoke classes of receipts, and export audit data for compliance.

Why hospitals and regulated enterprises need this now

Regulation is tightening

FHIR, AI in healthcare, and digital identity are all under heavier scrutiny.

Logging isn't enforcement

Most 'governance' today is just logging; it doesn't actually stop a bad or out-of-policy call.

Platform gaps

EHR and IDV platforms were not designed with native cryptographic policy enforcement; the rail layer closes that gap.

Provable controls

Procurement and compliance want provable controls, not just promises. Cryptographic receipts give them something concrete to audit.

How we work with hospitals and regulated customers

Architecture review / discovery sprint

Work with your CTO/CISO and key staff to map systems and identify where rails plug in.

Outcome: Architecture doc, risk map, and recommended rail placements.

Production deployment

Annual license, production-grade PostgreSQL / Redis configurations, Epic/Cerner hooks, and 24/7 support.

Exact pricing and licensing terms are shared under NDA with your procurement team.

FAQ – what CTOs and CISOs ask us

Is this just a logging / analytics tool?

No. The rail sits in the request path and can return 4xx/5xx before the request ever reaches your backend. In the Hospital Rail POC, you can see a FHIR GET call that returns 200, then after an epoch bump the same call returns 403 with a FHIR OperationOutcome. That is real enforcement, not a dashboard.

Will this work with Epic, Cerner, and our existing FHIR stack?

Yes. The Hospital FHIR Governance Rail is designed as a proxy in front of any FHIR-compliant backend. In a POC, we typically point it at a sandbox FHIR server first, then work with your team to connect to non-production Epic/Cerner environments.

Can we run this on-prem or in our own cloud?

Yes. The rail is a Python-based service that can run in your Kubernetes cluster, as a sidecar, or as a dedicated service in your VPC. We provide Docker images and deployment manifests as part of a paid engagement.

What about PHI and compliance?

The rail is designed so that receipts store hashes and metadata rather than full PHI payloads. You control where the rail runs and where the audit store lives (e.g., your own Postgres). We work with your compliance team to align with your BAA and internal policies.

How long does it take to see something working?

In most cases, your team can run the FHIR POC demo in under an hour, and we can stand up a tailored POC in 4–8 weeks depending on scope and environments.

What happens if your rail is down?

We design fail-open vs fail-closed behavior with you, per use case. For some workflows you may want strict fail-closed behavior; for others, you may prefer a controlled fallback. The core patterns are documented, and we model them explicitly in policy.

For Engineers & Architects

Real technical resources. No marketing fluff.

⚡ Quick Decision Tree

Should you use a governance rail?

  • ❌ If you just need audit logs → Use CloudWatch/Splunk
  • ❌ If policy is simple and static → Use API Gateway rules
  • ✅ If you need to block at runtime → You need a rail
  • ✅ If policy changes faster than deployments → You need epochs
  • ✅ If auditors want cryptographic proof → You need receipts

📊 Real Numbers

What's the overhead?

Latency added:~8-15ms (receipt validation)
DB writes:1 per request (async batched)
Memory footprint:~40MB base + 2KB per receipt
Throughput:10K+ req/sec on 2 vCPU
Epoch bump:Instant (in-memory flag flip)

🔧 Integration Checklist

What your team needs:

  • Python 3.11+ or Docker runtime
  • Postgres/SQLite for receipt store
  • Network path to your FHIR/backend
  • API key management (we provide templates)
  • 4-8 hours for initial POC setup
  • Optional: Redis for distributed epochs

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

Don't do this:

  • ❌ Storing PHI in receipts (use hashes)
  • ❌ Hardcoding epochs (use DB + cache)
  • ❌ Skipping rate limits (rail enforces them)
  • ❌ Testing in production first (use POC)
  • ❌ Ignoring fail-closed vs fail-open design

We help you avoid these in architecture review
