AWS Compliant Cloud Infrastructure | Clinical Readiness in HealthTech

As Vortex Imaging advanced toward clinical readiness, establishing a secure and compliant AWS cloud foundation became critical. CloudZone partnered with Vortex to design a governed, scalable AWS environment built to protect sensitive medical data and support long-term growth in a regulated HealthTech landscape.

About Vortex

Vortex Imaging is transforming point-of-care diagnostics by delivering high-quality, CT‑like 3D imaging via an effortlessly portable ultrasound solution. Their flagship device, the Vortex360, combines the simplicity of ultrasound with advanced cloud-based GPU reconstruction, delivering standardized, volumetric imaging anywhere, from in-office clinics to rural settings, thereby empowering faster and more precise patient care.

Industry: HealthTech

The Challenge

Vortex Imaging needed a secure, compliant, and production-ready infrastructure to support its innovative medical imaging product. Their initial setup consisted of a single, standalone cloud account that combined development, production, and QA resources, with no alignment with best practices in security, architecture, or regulatory compliance.

The Solution

CloudZone delivered a turnkey solution structured for compliance, scalability, and resilience:

Account Segmentation: Dedicated environments for Dev, QA, and Prod, guaranteeing clear separation and secure operations.
AWS Control Tower Landing Zone: Implemented to establish a governed multi-account environment with best-practice security and account management.
Centralized Infrastructure & Security: Consolidated logging, networking, and backup accounts; enabled AWS GuardDuty for continuous threat detection and monitoring.
Terraform-Powered IaC: Enabled consistent, repeatable deployments, reducing human error and accelerating environment spin-up.
Best‑Practice Architecture: Implemented security, backup, and network design in line with regulatory standards and industry benchmarks.

‍The Results

Achieved a production-ready architecture with clear environment separation and robust governance.
Enhanced regulatory compliance and security, establishing a foundation for audits and medical standards.
Improved threat detection and monitoring using GuardDuty for proactive security insights.
Accelerated operational efficiency: Terraform automation streamlined provisioning and brought infrastructure agility.
Established architecture that is scalable, ready to support growth, additional services, and evolving use cases.
