Clinical communications
Clinical messaging that behaves like infrastructure: every thread retained, every access logged, and PHI kept inside the tenant your compliance team already signed off on.

Pentabay builds secure, scalable, compliance-ready platforms for healthcare, fintech, enterprise and SaaS teams. 100+ projects delivered across Canada and the United States since 2018 - and six products of our own already in production.

The platform
Every pattern we sell in custom work - tenant isolation, consent ledgers, reasoning audit, residency by region - is already running in something we operate ourselves.
Clinical communications
Clinical messaging that behaves like infrastructure: every thread retained, every access logged, and PHI kept inside the tenant your compliance team already signed off on.

AI agents
Agents that run where your data already lives. Retrieval scoped to the tenant, tools in a sandbox, every reasoning step recorded.
HR & credentialing
For teams whose staffing is an audit surface: licences that expire, shifts that need someone qualified, payroll that must reconcile.
Marketing automation
Consent-first campaigns. Every send traceable to a recorded opt-in; PHI never crosses into a third-party marketing cloud.
Posture monitoring
The questions auditors actually ask: what is exposed, where PHI sits, how today's config maps to your frameworks.
Field operations
Attendance for teams that do not sit at desks: geo-fenced clock-in, central rosters, hours exported straight into payroll.
The same team behind these six products takes on custom engagements - fixed-fee when the scope is known, embedded when it is not.

Why North America
Canadian-rooted infrastructure with a U.S. delivery footprint. Pick your region of record; we keep the controls, residency and on-call story consistent across both.
Canada residencyPHIPA / PIPEDA tenants land in Canadian regions. Backups never cross the border unless your contract demands it.
U.S. residencyHIPAA-aligned tenants run in US-East / US-West with BAAs in place. Same code, same controls, separate data plane.
