Reading from your whitepaper in the "Our vision" part it was stated that you intend to move from poor data security which is the current approach to the blockchain enabled data security which in turn is the core of the SSOT framework, what security measures are you looking at implementing?? because as far as i know especially in recent times there have been some reported case of "blockchain hack" I sincerely don't know how that's possible or how its been carried out even, but i will be glad if some more light is thrown in the area of Data security promised by the SSOT team.

Good Question!
By storing information across a network of computers, the task of compromising data becomes much more difficult for hackers. Instead of having to breach just one server, falsifying a health record or making a fraudulent transaction on a blockchain can only be achieved if the majority of the network is compromised. Hacking a single server can be extremely difficult, even for the most accomplished cybercriminals. Being able to compromise enough servers to falsify records on the blockchain is practically impossible, especially as hackers would need to breach each node simultaneously

is that what you call the 51 attack; if the hacker has 51% of the processing power then he will be able to fork and manipulate the chain. If I understand correctly you are working towards making it hard to hack a single machine? The blockchain is not easy to hack from what I have read of its structure since there isn't a single entity with a fall blockchain; rather multiple servers. It would make sense for the medical records to be hosted in such a manner. is SSOT planning to do something different?

Yes, We would like to prevent 51% attack. The should be a correction, it should read instead of saying 'Single server ' it should say 'multiple nodes'. we agree with you that we have to have protection in health records..considering HIPPA and HL7 protocol. we are continually exploring the optimum blockchain security architecture, which we will believe an evolving challenge!

It's nice to see we are getting immediate response from SSOT team. As of now I am still going through whitepaper and trying to understand the concept. But if I have questions, hopefully we will continue getting such quick response in future as well.

They seem to know what they are doing. security is a tricky bit as in many cases the breaches happen from bad practices or bad architectures and to see emphasis on the architecture is something admirable. Would be watching out for more updates on this.
