Implement Security Enhancements for a Healthcare Company
About Client
The Client is an Australian pharmaceutical company that was founded in 2016 and currently operates 3 offices throughout the nation.
Their mission is to provide accessible, affordable, and innovative healthcare solutions worldwide, irrespective of geography or socioeconomic background. Embracing technology, the Client invests in research and development for advanced drug discovery, formulation, and delivery. They utilize digital solutions and data analytics to optimize manufacturing, improve quality control, and enhance patient monitoring and medication adherence.
Challenges
As the company grew, the complexity and scale of its systems and networks also increased, making them susceptible to potential security breaches. The obstacles included:
- The failure to identify the causes of the breach resulted in the repeated compromise of customer data.
- Insufficient methods and tools to assess the extent of the damage and mitigate risks led to incomplete risk mitigation measures.
- The lack of in-house security testing expertise hampered the ability to raise employee awareness effectively.
Solutions
To address the identified security challenges and enhance the cybersecurity posture of the healthcare company, TECHVIFY implemented a comprehensive set of solutions.
Two-Stage Security
TECHVIFY recommended a comprehensive two-stage security audit to meet standards. The first stage involved a custom IP checkup, assessing information security policies, access controls, and network architecture. The second stage focused on infrastructure, evaluating network configurations, physical security, and intrusion detection systems. This audit is customized to the Client’s industry, internal systems, and business requirements, guaranteeing compliance and detecting weaknesses.
Testing Methodology
We used a safe penetration testing methodology to ensure that the penetration testing adversely impacted no crucial systems.
Experts thoroughly tested the company’s external-facing systems, including web applications, servers, and network infrastructure. The focus was evaluating firewall configurations, web application security, and access controls.
During the testing, we utilized cutting-edge tools and techniques to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity. A detailed report was generated, outlining the identified vulnerabilities and their potential impact and providing recommendations for remediation.
