A Large Healthcare Provider

Healthcare

Background: A large healthcare provider operates numerous facilities across the EMEA region, storing and processing vast amounts of sensitive patient data through their electronic health record (EHR) systems, mobile health applications, and IoT-enabled medical devices. Given the sensitive nature of healthcare data, they are subject to stringent regulatory requirements, including GDPR, HIPAA, and medical device security regulations. The healthcare provider has been facing increased cybersecurity risks due to their expanding digital footprint and the rise of targeted cyberattacks, such as ransomware, aimed at compromising patient data. They approached Cyber Legion to enhance their cybersecurity posture with CREST-approved Penetration Testing services that meet both regulatory requirements and industry best practices. Challenges: The healthcare provider required rigorous Penetration Testing for their critical systems, including EHR systems, patient databases, cloud-based telemedicine platforms, and IoT medical devices, to identify vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive patient information. Ensuring compliance with GDPR and HIPAA while maintaining high availability for life-critical systems was crucial. The organization needed actionable insights to fix vulnerabilities and a continuous improvement plan to stay ahead of emerging threats. They were looking for a partner that could provide detailed reports, remediation strategies, and a secure platform to track progress. Solution: Cyber Legion’s CREST Approved Penetration Testing Services Phase 1: Initial Assessment Cyber Legion’s team conducted a comprehensive scoping session with the healthcare provider to understand their critical assets, risk tolerance, and regulatory compliance needs. They identified the key systems for testing, including web applications, internal and external networks, IoT devices, and third-party software integrations. Phase 2: Penetration Testing Cyber Legion’s CREST-approved testers executed both black-box (external, unauthenticated) and white-box (internal, authenticated) testing approaches. The tests covered: Web application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10) Network security flaws (e.g., misconfigured firewalls, open ports) IoT device vulnerabilities in medical devices API and mobile app security issues Phishing and social engineering resilience Physical security weaknesses in data centers and facilities The tests simulated real-world attack scenarios, such as attempting unauthorized access to sensitive patient data, executing malware injections, and compromising third-party integrations. Phase 3: Reporting and Analysis The testing revealed several vulnerabilities, including: Outdated software on IoT devices Improper access controls on critical databases Unpatched vulnerabilities in their EHR web application Lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for remote access by healthcare professionals Cyber Legion provided detailed reports through their Secure Client Portal, highlighting each vulnerability’s risk level using CVSS scoring. They also outlined how these vulnerabilities could potentially lead to data breaches, service outages, or regulatory penalties. Phase 4: Remediation and Continuous Improvement Cyber Legion’s experts offered step-by-step guidance for fixing the vulnerabilities and implementing best practices such as regular patching, enhanced authentication methods, and network segmentation. The Secure Client Portal enabled the healthcare provider’s IT and security teams to track remediation progress, prioritize actions, and schedule follow-up assessments. A continuous improvement strategy was created to address not only the current vulnerabilities but also to prevent future risks through regular re-testing, proactive threat modeling, and ongoing security assessments. Phase 5: Regulatory Compliance and Reporting The healthcare provider was able to present Cyber Legion’s comprehensive penetration testing reports to regulatory bodies, demonstrating their commitment to securing patient data in compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and medical device security standards. Cyber Legion helped ensure that the provider’s cybersecurity practices met the highest standards and that their security posture remained resilient. Outcome: The healthcare provider achieved a significant reduction in security vulnerabilities and an overall improvement in their cybersecurity defenses. They maintained compliance with GDPR and HIPAA requirements and received continuous support for improving their security framework. By partnering with Cyber Legion, the provider was equipped with a proactive security approach, transforming their security challenges into strengths and establishing a pathway to long-term resilience.
