Protect PHI without slowing care
Healthcare penetration testing tuned to patient portals, provider applications, integration interfaces, and the HIPAA expectations your customers and regulators care about. Pentest evidence on a real timeline, with safe, controlled handling.
What should a healthcare pentest cover?
A healthcare pentest should cover patient and provider portals, integration interfaces such as HL7 or FHIR endpoints, authentication and role separation between patients, providers, and admins, and the external infrastructure hosting these systems. Reporting should fit into a HIPAA-aligned security program and support customer due diligence.
Healthcare security reality
PHI raises the cost of every miss
A breach involving PHI carries regulatory, legal, and reputational consequences few other industries face.
Patient and provider portals are exposed
Patient and provider portals are constantly internet-facing and constantly targeted by automated and manual attackers.
Integrations expand attack surface fast
HL7, FHIR, EHR connectors, and partner integrations make scope larger than most teams realize.
Common healthcare attack surfaces
Patient Portals
Patient-facing accounts, scheduling, messaging, and document access.
Provider Applications
Clinician dashboards, internal tools, and operational systems.
HL7 / FHIR Integrations
Health data exchange endpoints and partner integration interfaces.
Authentication and Roles
Patient, provider, and admin separation, MFA, and session handling.
External Infrastructure
Public DNS, edge services, and exposed admin or operator endpoints.
Data Stores and Backups
Access paths to PHI repositories, backups, and reporting systems.

Healthcare pentesting questions
Medtech and healthtech pentesting, by surface
Focused subsections for the medtech and healthtech pentest variants we ship most often, mapped to HIPAA and SOC 2.
Medtech external pentest
A medtech external pentest enumerates and exploits the internet-facing perimeter of medical device platforms, patient portals, and EHR integrations. Findings are mapped to the HIPAA Security Rule (164.308 administrative, 164.312 technical) and SOC 2 CC6.6.
Medtech API pentest
A medtech API pentest covers FHIR, HL7, and proprietary device APIs against the OWASP API Top 10, with extra focus on PHI exposure, broken object-level authorization (BOLA), and tenant isolation across hospital systems.
Medtech hybrid pentest (HIPAA + SOC 2)
Our medtech hybrid pentest pairs continuous AI agents with a US-based senior tester. The single engagement produces one report mapped to both the HIPAA Security Rule and SOC 2 CC6.x and CC7.x, eliminating the need to run two separate pentests for the same systems.
Healthtech web app pentest
The healthtech web app pentest covers patient-facing portals, clinician dashboards, and admin consoles for OWASP Top 10, business logic abuse, SSO weaknesses, and PHI leakage paths, with reports formatted for HIPAA and SOC 2 reviewers.
