Penetration testing for healthcare, where the data is the most sensitive.

Health records are worth more to attackers than card numbers, and a breach is reported, regulated and remembered. Sumrite tests the systems that hold them.

Typical scopePatient portals, apps, APIs and connected devices.
LawsHIPAA, DPDP Act, Saudi PDPL, GDPR.
DevicesIn-house IoT and medical device testing.

Penetration testing for healthcare covers patient portals, telehealth and healthtech apps, the APIs that exchange records, and connected medical and IoT devices. Findings are mapped to the security safeguards in HIPAA, India’s DPDP Act, the Saudi PDPL and GDPR, which all treat health data as high risk.

What healthcare testing focuses on

  • Patients or staff reaching other patients’ records
  • APIs that exchange records with labs, insurers and pharmacies
  • Telehealth and mobile apps storing health data on the device
  • Connected and medical devices, firmware and their cloud
  • Internal hospital networks and segmentation
