Varutra provides risk-based cybersecurity services for hospitals, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device manufacturers, diagnostics organizations, health insurers, clinical research organizations and digital health businesses. Services include cyber risk assessment, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, web and mobile application security, API security, cloud and infrastructure security, medical device and IoT security, red teaming, threat intelligence, SOC and managed security, incident response, GRC, privacy and compliance, security awareness and virtual CISO services.

Healthcare VAPT can assess approved internet-facing and internal infrastructure, web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud environments, authentication and authorization controls, networks and other systems within the agreed scope. Testing is designed to identify vulnerabilities, validate exploitable weaknesses where authorized and prioritize remediation based on technical and business impact.

Application and API security testing evaluates authentication, authorization, access control, session management, input validation, business logic, sensitive data exposure and other weaknesses that could lead to unauthorized access or disclosure. For healthcare and digital health organizations, the scope can include patient portals, telehealth platforms, clinical applications, mobile apps and APIs that connect systems and data.

Medical device and IoT security testing evaluates connected devices and their supporting ecosystems, including firmware, interfaces, communications, authentication, update mechanisms, APIs, companion applications and cloud services. Testing scope is defined with the device owner or manufacturer to support safe, authorized assessment without disrupting clinical or operational environments.

Common risks include ransomware, credential theft, exposed remote services, vulnerable clinical and business applications, cloud misconfiguration, insecure APIs, third-party compromise, medical device exposure, data leakage, supply-chain risk, insider risk and weaknesses in connected research, manufacturing or healthcare environments.

Requirements depend on the organization, data, geography, customers and contractual obligations. Relevant considerations may include ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST guidance for healthcare and connected environments, HIPAA where applicable, GDPR where applicable, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection framework, applicable CERT-In requirements, OWASP practices and customer or partner security requirements.

Healthcare organizations can improve resilience by prioritizing critical clinical and business assets, segmenting networks, strengthening identity and privileged access, testing applications and connected devices, improving logging and monitoring, maintaining incident response plans, managing third-party risk and validating remediation through controlled security assessments. Testing should be scoped and coordinated to protect patient safety and operational continuity.
