Cybersecurity for hospitals, payors and HealthTech.

Macksofy delivers cybersecurity audits, VAPT and DFIR for hospitals, diagnostics chains, health-insurance TPAs, telehealth platforms and HealthTech SaaS — across the ADHICS regime in Abu Dhabi, the NDHM/ABDM in India, and HIPAA-equivalent controls for clients serving US patient data.

Vertical outcomes
  • ABDM milestone WASA — CERT-In empanelled web application security audit certificate for M1 / M2 / M3 sign-off and NHA production access
  • Clinical-safety-aware VAPT — methodology that won't crash an EMR scheduler or block a clinical alert
  • Single-pass HIPAA + ADHICS + ISO 27001 audit pack for cross-border HealthTech
  • Connected-medical-device security assessments (IEC 62304-aware)
  • Ransomware-readiness drills + 24×7 DFIR retainer with hospital-context runbooks
In short

What is healthcare cybersecurity?

Healthcare cybersecurity protects patient data, connected medical devices, and clinical systems from breaches and ransomware while meeting DPDP, HIPAA, and ADHICS obligations. Macksofy secures hospitals, diagnostics, and health-tech with VAPT, medical-device testing, and compliance audits across India and the UAE.

Sector context

Why Healthcare cybersecurity isn't generic.

Healthcare cybersecurity is a cross-jurisdictional puzzle. An Indian hospital chain serving NRIs in the UAE must navigate the National Digital Health Mission's controls (ABDM), DPDPA's sensitive-personal-data provisions, ADHICS for any Abu Dhabi-resident patient data, HIPAA for US-citizen patients, and Dubai DESC ISR if any system serves a DHA-licensed entity. Add operational concerns — connected medical devices, HL7/FHIR APIs, EMR/HIS systems — and the attack surface scales fast.

Macksofy's healthcare practice covers: hospital VAPT (EMR/HIS, PACS, patient portals, kiosk systems), connected-medical-device security (IEC 62304, FDA premarket guidance), HealthTech SaaS security (HIPAA + ADHICS + ISO 27001 + SOC 2 single-pass audits), and DFIR for ransomware response. We've responded inside Indian hospital ransomware events where the priority was patient-safety continuity, not just controls evidence.

What's specific to healthcare cybersecurity: clinical-safety-aware testing (no VAPT that can crash an MRI scheduler or block a sepsis alert), HIPAA Breach Notification Rule timing for cross-border patient data, evidence integration with NABH / NABL audit cycles, and ADHICS Tier-3 controls for any Abu Dhabi entity.

Regulatory coverage

Frameworks Macksofy already maps to.

Every engagement's controls matrix tracks against these frameworks so the same evidence covers multiple regulator submissions.

  • Ministry of Health & Family Welfare — NDHM / ABDM controls
  • DPDPA — sensitive personal data (health) provisions
  • ADHICS (Abu Dhabi Department of Health) — Tier-1/2/3 controls
  • DHA (Dubai) — health data residency + DESC ISR overlay
  • HIPAA Security Rule + Breach Notification Rule (for US-citizen data)
  • FDA premarket cyber guidance (for connected medical devices)
  • NABH / NABL audit cycle alignment

What a Healthcare engagement actually delivers.

Client profile

Multi-specialty hospital chain · 14 hospitals · Maharashtra + Karnataka + Tamil Nadu

Scope

Hospital-grade VAPT covering EMR, HIS, PACS, patient portal and kiosk fleet. NDHM/ABDM controls gap assessment. DPDPA sensitive-data RoPA. Ransomware-readiness drill with the IT + clinical-operations leadership team.

Finding

PACS DICOM viewer was reachable from the patient-WiFi VLAN. Patient-portal API leaked appointment metadata across patients via an IDOR. Imaging-vendor remote-support VPN was always-on with shared credentials.

Outcome

PACS isolated into a clinical VLAN, IDOR fixed and 9 similar enumeration patterns identified across the portal, imaging-vendor VPN moved to a per-session JIT model. Ransomware drill produced a documented playbook the IT-Ops team rehearses quarterly.

FAQ

Things Healthcare buyers ask first.

No. We use clinical-safety-aware testing: read-only scanning during clinical hours, write/exploitation only in agreed maintenance windows, exclusions for life-critical alerting paths (sepsis, code-blue, lab-result delivery). Every test has a designated clinical-ops POC and an immediate stop-the-test channel.
Yes. An application joining the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission submits a web application security audit report and certificate from a CERT-In empanelled auditor to the National Health Authority as part of its milestone certification, and Macksofy is CERT-In empanelled. The engagement is our WASA, scoped to the ABDM API surface — ABHA creation, login and linking, HIP / HIU data exchange, consent-manager flows — plus the usual authentication, authorisation, session and encryption testing. The certificate states exactly which environment was assessed, staging or production. NHA revises its requirements periodically, so we confirm the current submission format against NHA guidance at scoping.
Yes. Our HealthTech audits map a single controls baseline onto HIPAA + ADHICS + ISO 27001 + SOC 2 + DPDPA simultaneously, with country-specific annexes for the bits that diverge (cross-border transfer mechanisms, ADHICS Tier escalation, breach-notification windows).
Yes — for both in-house developed devices (where we test against IEC 62304 + FDA premarket guidance) and OEM devices deployed in the client estate (where we test the integration surface and the vendor's remote-support footprint).
