Cybersecurity for the systems that hold patient lives.

Patient data isn't just regulated — it's irreplaceable. Hospitals, diagnostics chains and HealthTech platforms operate under a threat model where downtime equals harm. We secure the systems where the cost of being wrong is measured in care, not just rupees.

The threat model

Healthcare is the most targeted vertical in the world.

Ransomware operators have learned that hospitals pay. A locked imaging system at 2am means cancelled surgeries by morning — so ransom demands convert at multiples that no other industry sees. Indian healthcare is increasingly in the crosshairs.

Beyond ransomware: EHR exfiltration for identity fraud, medical-device exploitation, clinical-trial data theft, and increasingly — IoT-style attacks on connected medical equipment. None of this is hypothetical anymore.

Ransomware on Hospital Networks

Lateral movement from a single phished workstation to imaging, lab, billing, and pharmacy systems — the exact pattern that has shut Indian hospitals down for days.

EHR & PHI Exfiltration

Patient records sell on dark-web markets at multiples of payment-card data. A leaked EHR is an identity-fraud kit, complete and indefinite.

Connected Medical Devices

Infusion pumps, imaging, monitoring — devices on the hospital network that were never designed for an internet-exposed threat model. We test what's safe to test, with clinical engineering at the table.

Clinical Trial Platforms

Trial data has commercial value the moment it exists. Sponsors, CROs and trial-site networks need protection that runs continuously across the trial lifecycle, not just at audit time.

Compliance We Cover

From the bedside to the data fiduciary.

Healthcare compliance crosses borders, frameworks, and operating models. Every engagement is mapped to the standards your auditors and partners actually use.

HIPAA

For US-facing trial platforms, telemedicine providers, and HealthTech SaaS — Privacy Rule, Security Rule and Breach Notification Rule operationalized as auditable controls.

DPDP Act 2023

India's data-protection regime applied to the healthcare context — consent flows, processor contracts, breach notification, and the rights of data principals across the patient lifecycle.

NABH Cybersecurity

National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers — the cyber control set hospital accreditation now expects, with evidence prepared the auditor's way.

ABDM Compliance

Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission integration security — gateway certification readiness, ABHA-ID handling, consent-manager integration testing, and the broader NDHM stack.

21 CFR Part 11

For clinical-trial systems serving FDA-regulated sponsors — electronic-records and electronic-signature controls, audit-trail integrity, and the validation evidence trial sponsors require.

GDPR

For India-based platforms processing EU patient or trial data — lawful basis review, DPIA, processor agreements, and the data-subject-rights tooling regulators expect.

First 30 Days

What an engagement actually looks like.

D-1

Discovery call

30 minutes. Map your environment — clinical, administrative, IoT — your accreditation timeline, recent incident history, and current programme.

D-3

Written scope

Assets, methodologies, testing windows agreed against clinical operations, deliverables aligned to NABH/ABDM/DPDP. Indicative pricing, signed both ways before kickoff.

D-7

Kickoff & first finding

NDA + MSA + DPA signed (DPA matters in healthcare). Testing window opens with clinical engineering on the call. First findings hit the portal within 48 hours.

D-30

First closure cycle

Critical findings re-tested and evidenced. Closure tracker reflects every fix. Accreditation evidence packet compiled and ready for the auditor.

Healthcare FAQ

Questions hospital and HealthTech leaders ask us first.

Can you test on production hospital networks safely?+
Production testing in clinical environments is approached with extreme caution and only by mutual agreement. Most engagements operate in pre-production replicas of clinical systems, with carefully scoped passive monitoring on live networks. Every test plan goes through your clinical engineering and IT leadership before it runs.
Are you ABDM gateway-certification ready?+
We support the security review and evidence preparation needed for ABDM/NDHM gateway certification — ABHA-ID handling, consent-manager integration, gateway endpoint security, and the operational controls integrators are expected to demonstrate.
How do you handle PHI/PII during engagements?+
Patient data does not leave your perimeter. Where production access is required (passive monitoring, log review), it operates under your data-handling controls and a signed DPA. All evidence in deliverables is masked, redacted, or anonymized to your standard before publication.
Do you do tabletop exercises with clinical leadership?+
Yes. The strongest ransomware-readiness exercises put the COO, Chief Nursing Officer, Chief Medical Officer and IT leadership at the same table. We design and facilitate the exercise, run a 90-minute scenario, and deliver a signed-off improvement plan within a week.
Can we get reports formatted for NABH and HIPAA together?+
Yes. Engagements deliver findings against multiple framework matrices in parallel — NABH cyber controls, HIPAA Security Rule references, DPDP-aligned controls — alongside the engineering-readable issue tracker. One engagement, the reports your auditors and partners need.
What's your incident-response posture for hospitals?+
Critical incident acknowledgement under 30 minutes for retainer clients. Initial containment guidance within 2 hours. Same-business-day on-site arrival in Tier-1 cities, next-business-day elsewhere. Hospital-specific playbooks include clinical-system restoration prioritization, regulatory notification timelines, and external-comms support.
