Penetration Testing
Protect patient information and the systems care teams rely on. Work directly with US-based pentesters to find exploitable weaknesses in your applications, APIs, and networks.
- Fixed-price proposals
- Retesting included
Real experts. Direct access.Your tester, from scope through retest.
Protect patient data and care delivery
Stronger defenses.
More confidence in care.
Patient portals, clinical integrations, and staff networks connect people with sensitive health information. Find out where an attacker could cross access boundaries or reach systems your teams depend on.
Test the connections behind care.
Scheduling, telehealth, and clinical integrations move sensitive information between systems. We examine API permissions and data handling across agreed workflows.
Healthcare APIs & connected applications
Find paths into critical systems.
Remote access and internal trust relationships can widen an attacker’s reach. Test exposed services and network boundaries with an approach planned around care delivery.
Remote access & network segmentation
Coverage built around you
Connected care.
Coordinated testing.
Start with a patient portal or coordinate application and network testing. We define scope, test accounts, and timing around your environment and the operational needs of your care teams.
- Patient portals and digital health applications
- Healthcare integrations and supporting APIs
- Staff access and internal network boundaries
Web Applications
Test patient portals, scheduling applications, and staff access for authorization and session flaws.
APIs
Assess healthcare integrations for unauthorized record access and sensitive-data exposure.
Mobile Applications
Evaluate patient-facing mobile apps, local data storage, and supporting services.
External Networks
Identify exploitable weaknesses in internet-facing services and remote-access systems.
Internal Networks
Assess identity, privilege escalation, and segmentation across the networks agreed in scope.
Compliance Testing
Build technical evidence to support healthcare risk management and security reviews.
The Halo difference
Clear findings.
People to help you fix them.
A report is the beginning of remediation. Your dedicated tester stays available to explain the findings, help you plan fixes, and validate your progress.
Your tester, on your team.
Work directly with a US-based expert who knows your scope and answers your questions. Keep findings and communication organized in your Halo dashboard.
Evidence you can use.
Give technical teams clear priorities, supporting evidence, and remediation guidance. Share a final report and attestation letter with stakeholders.
Support through the fix.
Get practical answers as your team remediates. An included round of retesting verifies your fixes and updates the final deliverables.

Security and compliance
Testing that supports
your obligations.
Align scope and reporting with the requirements that apply to your organization, while keeping the focus on exploitable risk.
Explore compliance testingHIPAA security risk management
Penetration testing can provide technical evidence for your broader assessment of risks to electronic protected health information. It complements a HIPAA risk analysis; it does not replace one or establish compliance on its own.
Read HHS guidancePartner security reviews
Give healthcare partners and internal reviewers a documented scope, validated findings, and retest results. Agree on the evidence needed before the engagement begins.

Patient trust.
Practical security.
Your team balances access to information with the need to protect it. A useful pentest connects technical findings to the patient-facing services, staff workflows, and sensitive records they could affect.
Work with your tester to understand the paths that matter, coordinate remediation with system owners, and document what changed after fixes.
Practical answers for IT teams.
Discuss access boundaries, integration risks, and network exposure directly with your tester. Prioritize findings by the systems and information at risk.
Evidence for security leadership.
Use a clear scope, supporting evidence, and retest results to inform risk decisions and partner security reviews.

Get answers about scope, compliance, and what to expect. Have another question?
Let’s chatWhat healthcare systems can Halo penetration test?
We can scope testing around patient portals, scheduling applications, digital health platforms, mobile apps, APIs, remote-access services, and internal networks. Access to third-party systems requires the appropriate authorization. We confirm the specific assets and permitted activities before testing begins.
How do you plan testing around patient care?
We agree on testing windows, test accounts, escalation contacts, and stop conditions with your team. Where appropriate, testing can use a staging environment and synthetic patient data. Clinical devices and safety-critical systems require separate assessment and explicit scope agreement before any testing.
Does a penetration test make us HIPAA compliant?
No. A penetration test provides evidence about technical weaknesses within a defined scope. Those findings can inform healthcare security risk management, but the engagement does not replace a comprehensive HIPAA risk analysis or establish overall compliance.
Will testing require real patient records?
We plan to use synthetic records and dedicated test accounts where possible. During scoping, we agree on access limits, evidence collection, data handling, and any contractual requirements before sensitive information is made available.
What deliverables are included?
Every engagement includes a detailed report, prioritized findings, supporting evidence, remediation recommendations, direct access to your tester, an attestation letter, and one round of retesting after fixes are ready.
How much does a penetration test cost, and how long does it take?
Penetration testing starts at $3,950. Pricing and timing depend on the applications, networks, user roles, and workflows in scope. After a scoping conversation, we provide a fixed-price proposal and schedule, with reporting, remediation support, and one round of retesting included.
