Healthcare cybersecurity & secure architecture
Threat modeling, secure architecture, and continuous monitoring that keep protected health data safe end to end — built for systems that handle PHI.
Talk to our teamHealthcare is the most-attacked industry, and PHI is the most valuable record on the market. AST secures clinical platforms the way they're built — with threat modeling, zero-trust architecture, hardened cloud, and the assessment and response capability to find and close gaps before an attacker does.
What Cybersecurity software has to do
The capability areas we engineer end to end — each one built to ship in production and stand up to a clinical and compliance review.
Secure & zero-trust architecture
- IAM hardening and segmentation
- Zero-trust design
- HIPAA-compliant cloud
- Defense in depth for PHI
Security assessments
- HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis
- Application penetration testing
- Infrastructure testing
- Prioritized, actionable findings
Vendor & supply-chain risk
- Third-party assessment frameworks
- BAA governance
- Continuous vendor monitoring
- Inherited-risk control
Monitoring & detection
- Continuous monitoring
- SIEM and alerting
- Anomaly detection
- Earlier detection
Incident response
- Breach response planning
- Tabletop exercises
- Containment and remediation
- Post-incident hardening
Identity & access
- MFA and least privilege
- Privileged access management
- Access reviews
- Full audit trails
- Threat modeling
- Zero-trust & IAM
- Penetration testing
- Cloud security (AWS/Azure)
- Vendor risk management
- Incident response
What we build
Secure & zero-trust architecture
IAM hardening, segmentation, and HIPAA-compliant AWS/Azure environments designed for PHI.
Security assessments
HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis and application/infrastructure penetration testing scoped for healthcare.
Vendor & supply-chain risk
Third-party assessment frameworks and BAA governance across your healthcare supply chain.
Monitoring & incident response
Continuous monitoring, breach response planning, tabletop exercises, and post-incident remediation.
Built to connect
Software only helps if it plugs into the systems you already run. We build standards-based integrations to the platforms that matter.
Cloud security
AWS and Azure security services, hardened for healthcare workloads.
Identity & PAM
Okta, Azure AD, and privileged access management.
SIEM / SOAR
Centralized detection, correlation, and response.
Endpoint & email
EDR and email security across the estate.
Vendor risk
Third-party risk and BAA tracking.
What it changes
For the organization
- PHI defended end to end
- Lower breach and penalty risk
- An audit-ready security posture
- Confidence with partners and payers
For security teams
- Healthcare-scoped testing
- Prioritized remediation
- Continuous monitoring
- A partner for incidents
For leadership
- Defensible, OCR-aligned methodology
- Reduced regulatory exposure
- A clear risk picture
- Resilience that's actually tested
How we help
- 01
PHI exposed across the stack
We threat-model the platform and harden architecture, identity, and cloud so protected data is defended end to end.
- 02
Unknown gaps
Risk analysis and penetration testing scoped for healthcare surface the vulnerabilities that matter and prioritize the fixes.
- 03
Third-party and supply-chain risk
Vendor assessment frameworks and BAA governance keep the risk you inherit from partners under control.
How we deliver
One process, run by senior healthcare engineers — from first conversation to a platform that keeps shipping after launch.
- 01
Discovery & scoping
We map the clinical workflow, systems, data, and compliance constraints with the people who run them — and turn it into a delivery plan, not a wish list.
- 02
Architecture & compliance design
PHI handling, access control, audit trails, and integration boundaries are designed up front, so security is structural rather than retrofitted.
- 03
Build
A senior, healthcare-fluent pod ships production-ready increments every sprint — code review, automated testing, and clinical feedback built into the cadence.
- 04
Integration
Standards-based HL7 v2 / FHIR R4 connections to the EHRs, devices, and clearinghouses you already run — handling the hard edge cases, not just the happy path.
- 05
Validation & readiness
Clinical validation, security testing, and audit-evidence preparation so go-live and customer security reviews are confirmations, not fire drills.
- 06
Run & evolve
We stay on as an embedded team — monitoring, support, and a roadmap that keeps shipping after launch.
Ways to work with us
Embedded engineering pods
Senior, healthcare-only engineers who join your team and own delivery end to end — architecture, build, integration, and run.
Custom platform development
Ground-up clinical software shaped around your workflow: EHR/EMR, patient apps, portals, and the integrations that connect them.
Modernization & integration
Incremental migration of legacy systems and standards-based integration that brings existing platforms into a modern, compliant architecture.

Frequently asked questions
Do you do penetration testing for healthcare systems?
Yes — application and infrastructure testing scoped specifically for systems handling PHI, with prioritized, actionable findings rather than a raw scanner dump.
Can you run a HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis?
We produce a risk analysis aligned to OCR's guidance and methodology, documented to be defensible in an investigation — which is exactly what most organizations are missing.
Do you help after an incident?
We provide breach response planning, tabletop exercises, and post-incident remediation, as well as the monitoring to detect issues earlier next time.
Can you secure a platform you didn't build?
Yes — we assess and harden existing systems, from architecture and IAM to cloud configuration, and stand up the monitoring to keep them defended.
