CoVet announced that it has achieved ISO 27001 certification, a globally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). The certification establishes a structured framework for identifying risks, implementing controls, and continuously improving the protection of sensitive data.
Veterinary clinics handle a wide range of confidential information, including patient histories, diagnostic results, treatment plans, client contact details, billing information, and internal communications. The company said its certification confirms that these data types are protected through risk management protocols, access controls, encryption practices, and ongoing monitoring.
Security Considerations for Veterinary AI
As artificial intelligence tools become more integrated into veterinary practice workflows, data security expectations are increasing alongside performance requirements.
Practices adopting AI-assisted documentation systems must ensure that platforms not only improve efficiency but also protect the full lifecycle of client and patient data.
According to the company, ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that CoVet’s systems meet internationally recognized standards for managing information security risks and maintaining secure operational processes.
AI Documentation in Clinical Workflows
CoVet’s platform is designed to reduce administrative workload in veterinary practices by automating tasks such as SOAP note generation, consultation transcription, and client communication.
The company reports that its system can reduce documentation time for veterinarians while allowing clinicians to focus more directly on patient care during appointments.
CoVet stated that its security framework aligns with several international data protection standards, including HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and SOC2 Type 2 compliance frameworks.
The company says its ISO 27001-certified information security system will serve as the foundation for maintaining security as the platform expands into additional clinical workflows and veterinary specialties.
