Healthcare Penetration Testing That Finds What Scanners Miss

A vulnerability scan doesn’t know what a patient record is worth. Raxis delivers human-led, AI-augmented penetration testing built for the complexity of healthcare environments, where the stakes go beyond compliance.

EHR & Clinical System Testing

Hands-on assessment of electronic health record platforms, clinical workflows, and the access controls protecting ePHI.

Medical Device & IoMT Security

Real-world testing of connected medical devices, firmware, communications protocols, and authentication mechanisms.

HIPAA & HITECH Compliance Validation

Every engagement maps to the HIPAA Security Rule and NIST SP 800-66, built for what OCR expects today.

The Problem with Most Healthcare Pentests

Healthcare organizations are the most targeted industry for data breaches, and the most expensive to recover from. Yet most pentests treat a hospital network the same as a SaaS company. Raxis exists because healthcare security requires more than generic testing.

Scanners Don’t Understand Clinical Environments

Automated tools flag CVEs. They don’t understand how a misconfigured EHR access control lets a billing clerk view oncology records, or how an unpatched imaging system creates a pivot point into the clinical network. Raxis engineers manually test your environment the way an attacker would, with full context of how healthcare systems actually work.

Medical Devices Nobody Tested

Connected infusion pumps, imaging systems, and IoMT devices are everywhere in modern healthcare, and most pentest vendors skip them entirely. These devices often run legacy firmware with weak authentication and insecure protocols. Raxis evaluates device security without disrupting clinical operations.

Telemedicine Platforms Treated as an Afterthought

Telehealth adoption exploded, and the attack surface expanded with it. Video consultation platforms, remote diagnostic tools, and patient portal integrations all handle ePHI. If your pentest vendor isn’t testing the telemedicine layer, you have a gap.

HIPAA Compliance Is Becoming More Prescriptive

HHS proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule in late 2024 that would make penetration testing mandatory every 12 months and vulnerability scanning required every 6 months. Organizations still treating pentesting as optional are falling behind where enforcement is heading.

Why Raxis for Healthcare Penetration Testing

Find real clinical risks, not just scan output

OSCP-certified engineers manually attack your healthcare environment using the same techniques as real threat actors. You get findings that reflect how patient data could actually be exposed, not a reformatted vulnerability report.

Get results your compliance team can use

Every finding comes with clear context, real-world impact, and prioritized remediation steps delivered through the secure Raxis One portal. Reports are structured for HIPAA Security Rule alignment, ready for your compliance officer and auditors.

Test without disrupting patient care

Raxis operates within strict rules of engagement designed for healthcare. We test critical systems safely, preserving data integrity, system availability, and clinical operations throughout the engagement. No downtime. No risk to patient safety.

Validate HIPAA and HITECH controls under real attack conditions

We don’t just check whether controls exist. We test whether they work. Raxis simulates unauthorized access to patient records, lateral movement across clinical networks, and exploitation of ePHI systems to prove your defenses hold when it matters.

Cover the full healthcare attack surface

We test EHR platforms, patient portals, telemedicine systems, medical devices, internal and external networks, wireless infrastructure, and third-party integrations end-to-end. Most healthcare breaches exploit gaps between these systems. We make sure yours hold.

Stay covered between annual assessments

Annual testing meets the baseline. Raxis Attack (PTaaS) delivers continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the Raxis One portal, so you’re not blind to new risks for 11 months.

Frequently Asked Questions About PCI Penetration Testing

It’s a hands-on simulated attack against your clinical systems, networks, applications, and medical devices. The goal is to find exploitable vulnerabilities in the systems that store, process, or transmit ePHI before real attackers do, while validating that your security controls meet HIPAA requirements.

Most healthcare pentests rely heavily on automated scanning and treat clinical environments like generic IT networks. Raxis engineers lead every engagement with hands-on attack simulation that accounts for the complexity of healthcare, including EHR platforms, medical devices, telemedicine systems, and clinical network segmentation. You get a report that reflects actual patient data risk, not just tool output.

We test EHR systems, patient portals, telemedicine platforms, medical devices and IoMT infrastructure, internal and external networks, wireless networks, web applications, APIs, and third-party integrations. Every engagement aligns with the HIPAA Security Rule and NIST SP 800-66 guidance.

No. Raxis operates within strict contractual boundaries with clear rules of engagement designed specifically for healthcare environments. Our goal is to expose vulnerabilities without causing downtime, data loss, or any interruption to patient care.

Yes, and this is a major differentiator. Connected medical devices often run legacy software with weak authentication and insecure protocols, yet most pentest vendors exclude them from scope. Raxis evaluates device security, firmware, and communications without disrupting clinical function.

Raxis Attack is our Penetration Testing as a Service platform, delivering continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the secure Raxis One portal. It’s built for healthcare organizations that need coverage beyond a single annual assessment.

NIST recommends at least annually, and proposed HIPAA Security Rule updates would make annual testing mandatory. Testing should also occur after significant infrastructure changes, EHR migrations, or new system deployments. Many healthcare organizations choose continuous testing through Raxis Attack for year-round coverage.

Raxis testers hold industry-leading certifications including OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GFACT, and more listed on our certifications page.
