Penetration Testing For Healthcare
Protect PHI across EHRs and cloud platforms with advanced penetration testing designed for healthcare environments. Achieve HIPAA compliance and HITRUST certification while demonstrating a strong security posture to investors, partners, and enterprise healthcare clients.
Top Security Threats Facing Healthcare Organizations
PHI Exposure and Theft
Authentication, access, and injection flaws leak PHI data
- Unencrypted electronic Protected Health Information (PHI) enables large-scale data theft
- Exposed records drive identity fraud risks
Account Takeover
Weak MFA enables unauthorized PHI misuse
- Compromised logins expose patient medical data
- Fraudulent access triggers HIPAA breach penalties
API Authorization Flaws
Broken checks expose sensitive patient information
- Insecure APIs leak medical and billing data
- Missing rate limits enable sensitive data scraping
Medical Device Exploits
Insecure firmware on connected medical devices endangers patient safety and privacy
- Unpatched devices enable remote code execution
- Weak encryption exposes telemetry and PHI
Integration Risks
Telehealth connections increase cyber threats that can leak sensitive data via weak validation
- Forged webhooks enable unauthorized data submission
- Weak security controls expose patient records

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pentesting help with HIPAA without being a certification?
Penetration testing of health systems provides evidence that your safeguards work. Findings and retest results support HIPAA risk analysis and remediation, strengthening security attestations during audits and procurement for healthcare organizations.
Can you assess patient portal security without disrupting care?
We prefer testing on staging or UAT environments. Risky actions are coordinated, throttled, and safety-checked so evidence is useful without impacting availability or patient access.
How do you protect PHI during testing?
Testing on staging or UAT environments solves that problem since these environments usually don’t contain PHI. If need be, we can sign your Business Associate Agreement (BAA). We can also align findings with cybersecurity awareness training for teams handling PHI.
What deliverables will our teams receive?
Engineer-ready findings with impact, steps to reproduce, evidence, and remediation. We use ethical hackers during penetration testing to validate exploitability and retest fixes. Executive summaries and compliance mappings help leadership, auditors, and hospital buyers make faster decisions.
Do you test mobile apps and telehealth workflows?
Yes. We assess authentication, session handling, TLS pinning, certificate validation, and API interactions for patient and clinician apps, including recording and media paths in telehealth.
