Protected Health Information & Patient Data
Validate whether weaknesses could expose PHI, patient records, clinical documentation, diagnostic data, research data, or sensitive communications.
Healthcare providers, life sciences organizations, and vendors that handle protected health information (PHI) face attacks that can expose sensitive patient data, disrupt clinical operations, compromise privileged access, or interrupt critical care and research systems.
Netragard performs manual penetration testing to validate how weaknesses can be exploited, chained together, and escalated by real-world adversaries.
Not every exposure becomes a breach. We determine whether weaknesses can be exploited, connected, and escalated into meaningful impact. This gives IT, security, privacy, and risk leaders across healthcare and life sciences a clear view of the exposures that could affect protected health information, patient-facing applications, clinical operations, research systems, or connected third-party environments.
Validate whether weaknesses could expose PHI, patient records, clinical documentation, diagnostic data, research data, or sensitive communications.
Assess whether patient-facing applications, APIs, medical-device integrations, EHR-connected systems, or access-control gaps could enable unauthorized access, data manipulation, or disruption of critical workflows.
Test whether compromised user accounts, privileged identities, service accounts, cloud identities, or remote access can be escalated into broader control of clinical applications, research systems, and connected infrastructure.
Identify attack paths that could disrupt clinical operations, affect patient care, compromise sensitive research, introduce third-party risk, or damage patient and stakeholder confidence.
We test the systems, identities, trusted connections, and operational workflows an attacker could use to gain an initial foothold, move through your environment, and reach protected health information, clinical systems, research data, or other assets that matter most.
Can an attacker turn a weakness in a patient portal, public-facing application, API, remote-access service, cloud environment, or connected healthcare platform into access to PHI or administrative functionality?
Can a compromised employee, clinician, contractor, researcher, or service account be escalated into privileged access across Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, cloud platforms, EHR-connected systems, or critical internal environments?
Can an attacker move from a patient-facing platform, medical-device integration, exposed API, research environment, or cloud workload into a higher-trust environment bypassing expected segmentation and access controls?
Can application logic, clinical workflows, access controls, administrative processes, or connected systems be abused to expose PHI, alter sensitive data, disrupt care delivery, or interrupt critical operations?
Our Real-Time Dynamic Testing® methodology adapts as new attack-surface data is discovered during the engagement.
We chain vulnerabilities to show how attackers can move through your environment and reach their ultimate goal.
No automated-only reports. Our team tests like attackers think and adapts dynamically as the test unfolds.
Backed by vulnerability research and custom exploit development.
We help you meet requirements, but our objective is understanding risk—not checking a box.
Clear findings, prioritized risk, reproducible steps, and free retesting to confirm fixes.
Compliance frameworks and security requirements such as HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 set the bar for security assurance. They do not prove that the controls in place can withstand a real-world attack.
Findings from our manual penetration tests help security, engineering, and risk teams prioritize remediation, support HIPAA risk analysis, strengthen audit readiness and FDA cybersecurity documentation, improve vendor oversight, and report to leadership.
Your team receives more than a list of vulnerabilities. We provide clear evidence of what we found, how it could be exploited, what it affects, and what to address first.
Ready to understand the risks that matter most to your organization?
Business-focused context that connects technical findings to risk and remediation priorities.
Detailed, reproducible findings with evidence, affected assets, and practical remediation guidance.
A clear narrative showing how individual weaknesses could combine into a material breach scenario.
A closeout discussion and free retesting to confirm identified issues have been remediated.
A late-night call to the help desk gave an attacker the keys to a trusted security employee’s accounts and access to AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, and remote systems without setting off an alert.
See how Netragard used passive reconnaissance and a carefully timed impersonation to bypass identity verification, reset credentials, enroll a new MFA device, and assume administrative control.
Netragard brings more than 20 years of hands-on security testing experience to healthcare providers, life sciences organizations, and technology vendors where protected health information, clinical operations, research data, and connected systems cannot be treated as routine IT concerns.
Our consultants perform practical, evidence-driven assessments across external attack surfaces, patient portals, web applications and APIs, cloud environments, identity systems, internal networks, and third-party integrations helping healthcare and life sciences teams understand which exposures deserve immediate attention.
