30+ Healthcare & MedTech targets assessed

Healthcare application security
when patient data is at stake

Healthcare applications handle protected health information (PHI) subject to strict regulatory requirements. A data breach exposes patient records and triggers mandatory reporting, investigations, and significant penalties.

How a Healthcare & MedTech engagement runs

Healthcare testing is scoped around PHI boundaries: patient portals, appointment and records APIs, telehealth sessions, and the HL7/FHIR integrations that move data between systems. We specifically look for authorization gaps — the record one role should not see, the imaging upload that accepts more than images — because in this sector an IDOR is a reportable breach, not a bug.

Findings are written with breach-notification exposure in mind: each one states what data class is affected and how, which lets compliance teams assess reporting obligations immediately rather than after their own investigation.

Regulatory and compliance context

Healthcare applications operate under HIPAA's Security and Breach Notification Rules in the US, with HITECH penalties scaled to negligence, and GDPR special-category rules layered on for EU patients. An exposed patient record is a reportable breach with mandatory notification — there is no 'quiet fix' path. For software-as-a-medical-device, FDA premarket expectations add security-by-design obligations. Reports are written so compliance officers can determine notification obligations directly from the finding text without a second investigation.

What we typically find in Healthcare & MedTech

Patient-data IDORs dominate: record, imaging, and appointment endpoints that authorize by session but not by ownership. Portal password-reset and MFA-enrollment flows are frequent takeover paths, and telehealth session tokens often outlive their appointments. HL7/FHIR APIs regularly expose more fields than the UI ever shows — we have pulled full histories from endpoints the frontend only uses for names. Medical-imaging uploads that accept arbitrary files, and EHR integration tokens with wider scope than the integration needs, round out the usual set.

What the report includes

Every verified finding with a reproducible proof-of-concept: the exact request sequence, the role it ran under, and the data or action it reached.

Severity rated on impact in your sector — funds moved, records exposed, tenants crossed — not a generic CVSS guess.

Remediation guidance per finding, written for the team that will implement the fix, plus a re-test window to verify each patch.

Healthcare & MedTech assessment FAQ

Do you handle PHI during testing?

Testing is designed around synthetic or test patient data wherever possible. If a finding requires demonstrating access to real records, proof stops at the minimum needed to establish exposure.
