HIPAA VAPT
HIPAA Security Rule Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Comprehensive VAPT for HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards, administrative safeguards technical implementation, and ePHI protection across covered entities and business associates. HITRUST CSF-aligned evidence with OCR-ready documentation and BAA compliance support.
How It Works
ePHI Discovery
Identify all systems processing, storing, or transmitting electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) across your environment.
Safeguards Assessment
VAPT of technical safeguards required by 45 CFR 164.312 — access control, audit controls, integrity, authentication, and transmission security.
Risk Analysis Support
Findings integrated into required HIPAA risk analysis (45 CFR 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A)) with severity, likelihood, and impact quantification.
OCR-Ready Documentation
Reports formatted for HIPAA compliance documentation, business associate audits, and OCR (Office for Civil Rights) inquiries.
Key Features
Complete HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards testing
164.312(a) Access Control
Testing of unique user identification, emergency access procedures, automatic logoff, and encryption/decryption controls
164.312(b) Audit Controls
Validation of hardware, software, and procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity in ePHI systems
164.312(c) Integrity Controls
Testing of mechanisms that authenticate ePHI, ensure it has not been improperly altered or destroyed
164.312(d) Authentication
Person or entity authentication controls including MFA implementation, password policies, and biometric authentication testing
164.312(e) Transmission Security
TLS implementation, VPN configuration, and encryption of ePHI in transit across networks including cloud communications
164.308(a)(1) Risk Analysis
Technical vulnerability data feeding formal HIPAA risk analysis with severity, likelihood, and business impact scoring
164.308(a)(5) Awareness Training
Technical control testing that validates security training effectiveness including phishing susceptibility and access hygiene
164.308(a)(8) Evaluation
Ongoing technical evaluation required by 164.308(a)(8) through continuous VAPT rather than point-in-time assessments
ePHI Data Flow Testing
Validation of ePHI handling across web applications, mobile apps, APIs, cloud storage, and third-party integrations
Business Associate Testing
Comprehensive VAPT of business associate systems and services with reports suitable for BAA compliance evidence
Breach Simulation
Controlled simulation of common ePHI breach scenarios including credential theft, insider threats, and ransomware attack vectors
HITRUST CSF Mapping
Automatic mapping of VAPT findings to HITRUST CSF domains and controls for accelerated HITRUST assessment scoring
