Pentest Reporting for Healthcare
Secure patient data with professional pentest reporting that meets HIPAA requirements and protects critical healthcare infrastructure from targeted attacks.
Security Challenges in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations face a uniquely dangerous threat landscape. Electronic health records, medical imaging systems, connected medical devices, and telehealth platforms all contain highly sensitive protected health information (PHI) that commands premium prices on dark web markets. Ransomware attacks against hospitals have directly impacted patient safety, making security testing a matter of life and death rather than just regulatory compliance.
- HIPAA Security Rule mandates regular risk assessments and penetration testing to safeguard electronic PHI, with penalties for breaches reaching millions of dollars per incident.
- Legacy medical devices running outdated operating systems and proprietary protocols create vulnerabilities that are difficult to patch without disrupting patient care.
- Interconnected clinical systems including EHR platforms, PACS imaging servers, laboratory information systems, and pharmacy management tools expand the attack surface across the entire care delivery network.
Penetration testers working in healthcare environments must navigate complex network segmentation requirements, test without disrupting clinical operations, and produce reports that satisfy both HIPAA auditors and HITRUST assessors. Findings must clearly identify risks to PHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability while providing remediation paths that account for the operational constraints of a 24/7 care environment.
How Vulnsy Helps
Vulnsy helps healthcare penetration testing teams deliver reports that bridge the gap between technical findings and regulatory requirements. Pre-built finding templates cover healthcare-specific vulnerabilities including HL7 FHIR API weaknesses, DICOM protocol misconfigurations, and medical device network segmentation failures. Each template maps findings to HIPAA Security Rule safeguards and HITRUST CSF controls out of the box.
Client portals provide healthcare IT security teams with a secure, centralized view of assessment findings, remediation progress, and historical trends across multiple facilities and systems. This visibility is critical for organizations managing security across hospital networks, affiliated clinics, and telehealth platforms simultaneously.
- Report generation produces HIPAA-aligned documentation that can be submitted directly to compliance officers and included in HITRUST assessment evidence packages.
- Team collaboration enables concurrent testing across segmented clinical networks, with unified finding management that ensures consistency across large health system engagements.
- Reusable templates with healthcare-specific remediation guidance save hours per engagement while ensuring recommendations account for clinical workflow dependencies.
