HIPAA Penetration Testing Services
Achieve HIPAA compliance with healthcare industry regulations using specialized HIPAA pen test solutions from Astro Information Security.
Patient data security is more than a business imperative but a legal requirement for US healthcare organizations covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Our HIPAA pentesting services by certified ethical hackers simulate threat actors’ tactics to help HIPAA-covered entities identify vulnerabilities in technical safeguards and security policies that might put them in conflict with HIPAA rules, providing remediation recommendations and securing protected health information from unauthorized access.
How Our HIPAA Penetration Testing
Supports Compliance
Few solutions are as effective as penetration tests when it comes to adhering to HIPAA requirements and implementing security measures. At Astro Information Security, our HIPAA penetration tests are carefully developed to expose vulnerabilities and provide actionable insights for complying with the rigid mandates set by HIPAA. Below, we describe four key regulatory mandates and how our processes contribute to each of them.
Conducting vulnerability assessments on a regular basis is a non-negotiable part of compliance according to HIPAA. Astro’s HIPAA security penetration testing goes deep to expose weaknesses, ensuring that prospective threats are thoroughly assessed and rectified. By mimicking real-world attack scenarios, we target healthcare systems with the aim of improving ongoing risk management strategies and limiting your company’s exposure to data breaches.
As stipulated under HIPAA’s privacy and security rules, safeguarding protected health information is one of the most important regulatory requirements. With our tailored, healthcare-specific pen tests, we identify vulnerabilities in health data storage and transmission systems, and we take precautionary measures to ensure that no one can gain unauthorized access to patients’ sensitive health information.
HIPAA regulations require healthcare providers to implement effective security measures against cyber attacks on protected health information. Our penetration tests assess your current defenses' effectiveness in warding off such invasions, pointing out areas where your system is most susceptible to abuse. By plugging these loopholes, we help you build a secure infrastructure that is compliant while keeping your environment safe from potential data leaks.
For every US-based or US-affiliated entity covered by HIPAA, constant monitoring of compliance status is critical to keeping up with evolving cyber threats and corresponding regulations. As such, continually conducting penetration tests provides new insight into your system’s weaknesses, ensuring that your defenses remain effective in the long term. Not only does this constant surveillance strengthen compliance with HIPAA, but it also helps your company react quickly to emerging risks, protecting your business environment and your patients' sensitive data.
