ClearDATA’s CyberHealth Platform is cloud security posture management (CSPM) software built specifically around healthcare compliance requirements — continuously scanning AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments for configuration drift, sensitive data exposure, and HIPAA compliance gaps, then pairing that automated detection with managed remediation and compliance services. The healthcare-specific framing (mapping findings directly to HIPAA safeguards rather than generic cloud benchmarks) is the company’s core differentiator against general-purpose CSPM tools.
Founded around 2009-2011 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, ClearDATA has raised roughly $80-100 million in funding across its history, with its most recent disclosed round in 2018. The company has around 166 employees and, in 2024, entered a partnership with Experis (a ManpowerGroup company) to jointly deliver healthcare cloud security and compliance services, extending its distribution beyond direct sales.
ClearDATA competes against both healthcare-focused compliance vendors like Compliancy Group and general CSPM platforms (Wiz, Orca Security) that have added healthcare compliance frameworks as one of many supported regulatory templates; its durability depends on whether deep healthcare-specific tooling and managed services continue to outweigh what broader, better-funded CSPM platforms now offer out of the box.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
The CyberHealth Platform launch and the 2024 Experis partnership show continued product and go-to-market investment, but no major new product line has been announced in several years.
A roughly 166-person team combined with a named channel partnership (Experis/ManpowerGroup) for joint delivery indicates a functioning, if mid-sized, managed-services operation rather than early-stage.
No disclosed funding round since 2018 despite total raises of roughly $80-100M suggests the company has settled into steady-state growth rather than an active fundraising or hyper-growth phase.
Mapping cloud misconfiguration findings directly to HIPAA safeguards is a genuinely useful specialization, but it is a narrower compliance-mapping layer on top of CSPM concepts that are now common across the broader cloud security market.
The company's decade-plus tenure serving healthcare cloud compliance and its named partnership with Experis are credible signals, but we found no independently published, named customer breach-prevention outcomes or third-party audit results specific to ClearDATA.
Healthcare organizations' rapid, compliance-constrained migration to public cloud keeps HIPAA-mapped cloud security posture management persistently relevant, particularly for smaller health systems without dedicated cloud security teams.
Why CISOs Should Care
Healthcare CISOs and compliance officers get cloud misconfiguration findings pre-mapped to HIPAA safeguards rather than having to translate generic CSPM output into compliance language themselves, plus managed remediation support.
What Makes It Different
Its healthcare-only focus and managed-services delivery model differentiate it from general-purpose CSPM vendors that treat HIPAA as one compliance template among dozens.
The Matrix Verdict
55/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A durable, healthcare-focused CSPM and compliance specialist with a real decade-plus track record, but growth appears to have plateaued and it faces increasing competitive pressure from larger, faster-moving general CSPM platforms adding healthcare compliance modules.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Independently verifiable: the Experis/ManpowerGroup partnership is confirmed via PR Newswire, and total funding figures are corroborated across Crunchbase and PitchBook. Vendor-sourced and unverified: specific claims about the CyberHealth Platform's detection accuracy or the exact number of healthcare customers served come from ClearDATA's own materials and were not independently verified by us.
