Security for Healthcare

Healthcare data is among the most sensitive data types in existence. Patient records, clinical data, and health information require protection that goes beyond standard cybersecurity — it requires an understanding of clinical workflows, data interoperability standards, and the life-safety implications of system failures.

What Makes Healthcare Different

A security failure in healthcare isn’t just a data breach — it can directly impact patient safety. Systems must be both secure and highly available, with zero tolerance for unplanned downtime in clinical environments.

Key considerations:

• PHI protection requires encryption at rest and in transit, strict access controls, and comprehensive audit logging across every system that touches patient data
• Interoperability standards like HL7 FHIR introduce API security challenges that standard web application security testing doesn’t cover
• Legacy integrations with hospital information systems, EHR platforms, and medical devices create complex attack surfaces
• Data residency requirements in the GCC region mean patient data must stay within specific jurisdictions

Our Approach for Healthcare

We implement defense-in-depth security that protects PHI at every layer — from the CI/CD pipeline that builds your applications to the runtime environment where they process clinical data. Our compliance automation generates the evidence auditors need, continuously, not just before inspections.

For UAE-based healthtech companies, we provide specific expertise in ADHICS and DoH requirements alongside international standards like HIPAA and ISO 27799.
