Protect Patient Data. Meet HIPAA. Stop Breaches.
Healthcare organizations are the #1 target for ransomware and data breaches. We deliver penetration testing and security assessments specifically scoped for HIPAA compliance, PHI protection, and the unique threat landscape of healthcare IT.
Why this sector gets targeted
Healthcare is the most breached industry in the United States, with the average data breach costing $10.93 million -more than double any other sector. Attackers target healthcare for its combination of high-value data (PHI, insurance records, SSNs), legacy systems, and complex vendor ecosystems. Ransomware groups specifically target hospitals and clinics because operational disruption directly threatens patient safety, increasing the likelihood of ransom payment. Meanwhile, HIPAA enforcement actions and OCR audits are increasing, with penalties reaching millions of dollars for organizations that fail to conduct adequate risk assessments and security testing.

HL7 FHIR APIs and third-party integrations create complex attack surfaces.
How it runs →HIPAA Penetration Testing
Meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements with compliance-ready testing.
How it runs →Vulnerability Management
Continuous scanning for healthcare environments with legacy systems.
How it runs →Active Directory Testing
Hospital AD environments are prime targets for lateral movement.

- HIPAA-aligned testing methodology covering all Security Rule technical safeguards
- Reports accepted by OCR auditors and healthcare compliance teams
- Experience testing patient portals, EHR integrations, and medical device APIs
Asked on almost every call
HIPAA does not explicitly mandate penetration testing, but the Security Rule requires covered entities to conduct regular risk assessments and evaluate the effectiveness of security controls. OCR has increasingly interpreted this to include penetration testing, and most healthcare compliance frameworks (HITRUST, NIST 800-66) recommend it as a standard practice.
We never access, store, or exfiltrate real PHI during testing. Our engagements use test accounts, synthetic data, and controlled environments. If we discover PHI exposure during testing, we document the finding immediately and notify your team through secure channels.
Yes. We test HL7 FHIR APIs, patient portal integrations, SSO configurations, and third-party vendor connections. We understand the healthcare interoperability stack and test for healthcare-specific vulnerabilities in addition to standard OWASP testing.
Our testing methodology maps to HITRUST CSF controls, and our reports can be used to support HITRUST certification efforts. We also partner with audit firms that provide HITRUST assessments.
We scope based on your most critical assets: patient-facing applications, clinical systems with PHI access, external-facing infrastructure, and high-risk network segments. We work with your IT and compliance teams to define scope that addresses your highest risks and compliance requirements.
