In healthcare, a breach is a safety event.
We find the route before it becomes one.
Patient records, portals, connected medical devices and the cloud behind them form one attack surface where the impact is both privacy and physical safety. We model, chain and prove the routes to PHI and to the devices themselves.
◇ The same threat-model-first method we use for robots and drones, applied to your sector. Complete assessment within 10 business days of validated intake.
Healthcare threats end at patient data, or at the devices and systems that care depends on.
Ransomware and lateral movement
Initial access that spreads from IT into clinical systems, taking care delivery offline.
PHI exfiltration
Broken authorisation and exposed APIs that leak records across patients, departments or tenants.
Connected medical device compromise
Unsigned firmware, exposed interfaces and weak device identity that let an attacker reach or manipulate a device.
Supply chain and third-party access
Vendors, integrations and remote-support paths that become the way in.
The abuse cases that hit healthcare payers and providers.
Claims & billing fraud
Manipulating claims workflows, eligibility checks and provider identities.
Identity & record abuse
Patient and provider impersonation, record tampering, prescription abuse paths.
Portal & account takeover
Weak auth on patient and provider portals leading to record access.
What we test, framed by what an attacker achieves there.

Broken auth, IDOR

Cross-patient PHI access
Threat
Firmware, interfaces, identity
Impact
Device manipulation, safety impact

Record access, impersonation
Threat
Auth, media, injection
Impact
Confidentiality and integrity loss
Threat
Misconfig, exfiltration
Impact
Mass PHI loss
And attackers move
faster than your patch cycle.
A connected machine inherits the whole internet's tempo. By the time a fix ships, the route has usually already been walked.
Negative. Exploitation now routinely begins before the patch exists. In 2018 you had 63 days.
From intrusion to handing your network to whoever monetises it. In 2022 that window was over eight hours.
Vulnerability exploitation has overtaken stolen credentials as the leading way in.
Up from 32. Defenders slowed down by a third while attackers moved to exploiting pre-patch.
One engagement. Travel it end to end.
MAP → MODEL → CHAIN → BREAK → HARDEN
One threat-intelligence-led method, run across the machine, its communications, the cloud, the apps and the AI. Every step narrows the route to what actually matters.
We don't start with a vulnerability scanner. We start with the threat model.
Threat modelling and attack-path mapping run first, on every engagement. A drone, a web app, a cloud tenant or an AI agent. STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK and PASTA, applied before we test.
The robot, firmware, OS, ROS/ROS 2, sensors, debug ports, radios, command stations, apps, APIs, cloud and update infrastructure, as one system.
Assets, trust boundaries, operators and admins, the adversaries that target your sector, and the cyber-physical safety cases.
Weaknesses connected into real routes to the crown jewels: fleet control, video, PII, physical operation and safety systems.
Real actor TTPs and IOCs, MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise + ICS, executed inside an agreed test boundary. Proof, not theory.
Findings, kill chains, business and safety impact, detection gaps and remediation by engineering owner. Plus one retest.
Because we know your crown jewels and trust boundaries before a single test, the testing time goes to the paths that actually reach them.
Not CVSS in isolation. A “medium” on the only path to your fleet controller outranks a “high” that leads nowhere.
We map the toxic combinations and find the single fix that collapses a dozen routes at once.
◇ Applied to robots and drones. Applied to every ThreatScout engagement, in every industry.
How the assessment supports your obligations.
Testing evidences controls regulators and standards expect. It does not by itself discharge the obligation, and every report says so.
HIPAA
Safeguards for protected health information, evidenced by technical testing.
FDA §524B
Cybersecurity for cyber-devices: threat modelling and testing expectations for connected medical devices.
NIS2
Essential-entity obligations for healthcare operators in the EU.
GDPR / MDR
Health-data protection and medical-device requirements where applicable.
