Mareedh’s clinical trials AI platform was running on manually managed infrastructure, leading to frequent downtime and increased HIPAA compliance risks, which impacted reliability and growth.
NOVA Cloud modernized their environment using automated, secure Infrastructure as Code across multiple AWS accounts, implementing HIPAA-aligned controls and CI/CD pipelines.
As a result, Mareedh reduced downtime by 90%, lowered infrastructure costs by 55%, and achieved a scalable, audit-ready platform that supported Series A readiness and enterprise expansion.
Major Challenges
As a healthcare AI startup handling regulated data and PHI, Mareedh faced several growing pains:
- · Manual infrastructure setup led to operational risks and inconsistencies
- · Development, staging, and production environments were not standardized
- · Higher HIPAA and SOC 2 audit risk due to missing security guardrails
- · Difficulty proving compliance readiness to enterprise healthcare customers
- · Slower and riskier AI feature releases
Without a standardized cloud framework, scaling further would have increased security, reliability, and compliance risks.
““NOVA Cloud has become our trusted AWS partner, helping us transition from MVP to a secure, production-grade platform ready for enterprise healthcare customers.”
– Talal Ali Ahmed, CEO
