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.

Threat Landscape

Why This Industry Is Targeted

The sectors and verticals we protect in this space.

Hospitals and health systems Telehealth and digital health platforms Health insurance and payers Medical device manufacturers Clinical research organizations Healthcare SaaS and EHR vendors

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does HIPAA require penetration testing?
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.
How do you handle PHI during testing?
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.
Can you test our EHR integrations?
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.
Do you work with HITRUST?
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.
How do you scope testing for a hospital environment?
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.
