Security that supports care

Start with the environment you actually operate

Healthcare security connects clinical workflows, electronic protected health information (ePHI), people, vendors, and technology. Assessment scope should reflect those dependencies before tools are selected or testing begins.

Three areas of focus

• Healthcare security assessments: map ePHI, assess threats and existing safeguards, and create an evidence-based action plan.
• Vulnerability management: prioritize exploitable exposure and validate remediation without disrupting care.
• Authorized security testing: evaluate agreed attack paths within clinical safety and operational limits.

What an engagement should establish

Agree the systems in scope, authorized activities, clinical exclusions, escalation contacts, deliverables, and remediation owners in writing. Testing does not begin because an enquiry has been submitted.

An assessment is not a government certification or a guarantee of HIPAA compliance. Legal interpretation and incident reporting decisions require appropriate qualified advice.
