Who we work with
- NHS and private healthcare providers running clinical services
- Health and care organisations supporting frontline delivery, scheduling, and patient communications
- Medical device manufacturers and connected health product teams
- Digital health and health tech platforms handling patient data at scale
- Research organisations, universities, and clinical trial operators
- Suppliers and managed service providers delivering systems into healthcare environments
Why this sector is different
Healthcare environments are hard to modernise safely. Many systems have long replacement cycles, patching can be constrained by clinical safety or vendor support, and downtime can have real operational impact. At the same time, the data is highly sensitive, and the user base is broad, including clinicians, admin staff, contractors, patients, and third parties.
Attackers understand this. They target healthcare because disruption creates pressure, and because identity and access paths are often complex. The most common problems are not exotic. They are weak access control, exposed data stores, misconfigured cloud services, insecure integrations, and device ecosystems that were not designed with modern threat models in mind.
Where we focus
We test patient portals, appointment and messaging services, and the identity journeys that sit behind them. This includes authentication and authorisation issues, data separation failures, insecure workflows, and the real world paths attackers use for account takeover and data exposure.
We assess the security of internal applications that support care delivery, administration, and operational workflows. The aim is to find practical weaknesses that affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and produce remediation steps that teams can implement without breaking service delivery.
Healthcare systems are integration heavy. We test APIs and the trust between systems, including service to service authentication, overly permissive access, insecure data handling, and the points where third party platforms connect into core services.
We test cloud hosted healthcare platforms for the issues that repeatedly lead to exposure. Access control, storage permissions, secrets handling, and logging and monitoring gaps are common causes of healthcare data leaks. We focus on what can be reached and abused in practice, not just what looks compliant on a dashboard.
We test connected medical technology and the platforms behind it, including device onboarding, update mechanisms, identity, and the supporting management services. Where direct testing on live clinical environments is not appropriate, we design approaches that validate risk safely through representative environments, controlled testing, and evidence led assessment.
When incidents hit healthcare, speed matters and evidence matters. We support investigations and response planning that helps teams understand what happened, what was affected, and what needs to change to reduce the chance of recurrence.
Working in regulated environments
Healthcare security testing has to be defensible and carefully governed. It often involves sensitive data, shared environments, and safety critical services. We scope and deliver work in a way that fits change control, clinical constraints, and the need for clear evidence, so security improvement does not come at the cost of disruption.
