HIPAA Penetration Testing
Security testing for healthcare compliance
What this engagement covers
The service
HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to perform regular security risk assessments and technical evaluations. Our HIPAA penetration testing validates your safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI) and delivers documentation that satisfies OCR audit requirements.
What we test
We assess all systems that store, process, or transmit ePHI including EHR systems, patient portals, telehealth platforms, medical device networks, cloud infrastructure, and third-party integrations. Testing covers the HIPAA Security Rule's administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
How we run it
Our methodology maps directly to HIPAA Security Rule requirements (45 CFR Part 164). We test access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, transmission security, and authentication mechanisms. Every finding is mapped to specific HIPAA provisions and includes remediation guidance that satisfies compliance requirements.

What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- HIPAA-aligned penetration testing report
- Security Rule gap analysis
- ePHI data flow assessment
- Risk register mapped to HIPAA provisions
- OCR audit-ready documentation
- Remediation priority roadmap
- Business associate risk assessment
- Retest validation report
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to HIPAA Security Rule, HITECH Act, NIST 800-66, NIST CSF, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Scope it in one call
