SECURITY TESTING
At MediShield we meticulously examine every aspect of your web application to uncover vulnerabilities and security weaknesses before attackers do. Each assessment follows industry best practices, including OWASP guidelines, ensuring your most critical assets are protected.
Web applications are the backbone of modern healthcare. Web application penetration testing protects both patient safety and data integrity. Our detailed after-action reports include a clear executive summary for decision-makers, alongside a technical breakdown for your development and security teams.
Our expert penetration testers will:
- Identify Vulnerabilities and Gaps in Security Controls:
preventing unauthorised access or data leakage. - Detect Web Application Flaws Before They Can Be Exploited:
highlighting exploitable weaknesses before malicious actors can take advantage. - Highlight Insecure or Risky Functionality:
revealing hidden risks in form submissions and payment gateways. - Reveal Potential Design and Architecture Weaknesses:
uncovering insecure workflows, flawed permission models, and weak data-handling processes.
Rigorous API Testing
Ensure the safety of your APIs. Is the communication between your systems and applications secure, reliable and functioning as intended? We will assess authentication, authorisation, configuration, business logic flaws.
File Security
How safe are your file upload functionalities? MediShield will help prevent malicious file uploads & execution. Protect your confidential information and maintain compliance with data protection standards.
Error Handling
We will investigate whether you are managing errors securely helping to maintain both security and professionalism while reducing the risk of exploitation from attackers who will exploit sensitive information.
Encryption
We provide an analysis of encryption ciphers ensuring if intercepted, sensitive data in transit and at rest remains unreadable to unauthorised parties.
Authentication Levels
Our experts can analyse security from the perspective of an attacker with different levels of access to your systems, replicating real world scenarios and risks.
Patching & Updates
Regular patches and updates are essential to keeping your web application secure. We will conduct a thorough check to ensure a reduced risk and improved performance
Key Benefits of Web Application Penetration Testing
- Protect Sensitive Patient Data: Testing reveals vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and insecure data handling that could expose protected health information (PHI).
Ensure Compliance: Healthcare organisations must meet strict standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 — regular testing demonstrates due diligence and strengthens compliance posture.
Cost Reduction: Gain true insight into where your security budget is best invested and save your organisation from huge costs associated with breaches. The healthcare sector remains the most expensive industry for responding to and recovering from data breaches, a rank the sector has held since 2011.
Maintain Patient Trust: A single breach can permanently damage reputation and patient confidence. Testing shows commitment to safeguarding data and upholding care standards.
Reduce Downtime and Disruption: Proactively finding vulnerabilities prevents cyber incidents that could halt operations or delay patient services.
Adapt to Evolving Threats: Regular testing ensures your web apps remain secure as new technologies, APIs, and integrations are introduced
Why Cyber Security Matters More Than Ever for Healthcare
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 116 million individuals were affected by healthcare data breaches in 2023 — a 136% increase from 2022.
Attackers now frequently target web applications, patient portals, and online scheduling systems to steal credentials or inject ransomware. With so much patient care relying on digital access, even a small web app vulnerability can have life-threatening consequences.
