Security Advisory for a Health Startup

The challenge

We were engaged by a global non-profit healthcare start-up to enhance their security measures and ensure compliance with industry regulations. The organisation needed to protect sensitive patient data while meeting the requirements of GDPR and CCPA.

What we did

We began by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the organisation's current security practices and processes. Through questionnaires and discovery workshops, we identified gaps and vulnerabilities in their existing system.

Our team of security architecture experts worked closely with the start-up to design a comprehensive security architecture that not only protected sensitive patient data but also adhered to industry regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We implemented threat modelling techniques to proactively identify and mitigate potential security threats—simulating various attack scenarios, which identified vulnerabilities and recommended remediation measures.

We provided compliance adherence consulting to ensure the healthcare startup was fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA—helping them understand the requirements of these regulations and providing guidance on how to implement them effectively. This included creating policies, procedures, and processes that adhered to the regulations, as well as training staff on their responsibilities.

We provided ongoing security advisory and general consulting services to help the healthcare startup navigate the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity—helping them understand the various security risks and threats they may face, and providing guidance on how to mitigate and manage these risks on an ongoing basis.
