Healthcare Cyber Security | Kratikal
Cybersecurity That Safeguards Care
Healthcare breaches rose by 93% in the last five years, and over 15 million patient records were compromised in a single month last year. Globally, healthcare data breaches cost organizations around $10.22 million per incident in 2025, the highest across all industries calling for the importance of HIPAA in healthcare.

Overview: Healthcare Cyber Security
In the last three years, 88% of healthcare organizations experienced at least one cyberattack, with incidents nearly doubling. Last year alone alone, 293 ransomware attacks targeted healthcare providers in just nine months, while hospitals faced an average of 24 days of downtime after an attack, directly disrupting patient care.
Kratikal provides advanced healthcare cybersecurity for organizations to stay resilient by securing critical infrastructure, protecting patient data, and strengthening cyber defenses against evolving threats.
Why Healthcare Cyber Security from Kratikal?
Attackers are increasingly targeting digital healthcare infrastructure. Hacking accounts for nearly 80% of healthcare breaches, while internet-connected medical devices such as infusion pumps and patient monitoring systems are becoming prime entry points. In India alone, the healthcare sector faces over 8,600 cyberattacks every week, four times the global average.

Types of Medical Device Security Testing
Black-Box Testing
Black-Box testing is a type of software testing where no prior understanding of the underlying code structure, implementation details, or internal paths of an application is required. It is also sometimes referred to as behavioral testing or external testing. It concentrates on the input and output of the application and depends fully on the requirements and standards for the software.
Gray-Box Testing
A software testing strategy called gray-box testing, which mixes black-box and white-box testing, is used to test an application without having a complete grasp of its source code. It looks for and locates context-specific errors that the application's shoddy coding has caused.
White-Box Testing
In order to verify the input-output flow and enhance the application's design, security, and utility, white-box testing looks at the underlying structure, coding, and architecture of a piece of software. Because the testers can view the code, this kind of testing is also known as internal testing, Clear-box testing, Open-box testing, and Glass-box testing.
Our Medical Device Security Testing Approach
Before starting any testing, we work closely with stakeholders (hospital IT teams, device manufacturers, etc.) to define what devices and systems will be tested. These can include ventilators, infusion pumps, patient monitors, etc. We also make sure we understand the environment in which these devices operate and plan the testing in a way that does not disrupt real patient care.
We gather information about:
- The types of medical devices
- Their communication methods (e.g., network, Bluetooth, USB)
- Any legal and regulatory requirements (e.g., HIPAA, FDA guidelines)
HIPAA in Healthcare
Types of Organizations under HIPAA Compliance
Covered Entities
Organizations/entities that gather, create, or transfer personal health information (PHI) electronically. The majority of this is covered by health-care organizations, such as health-care insurance carriers and providers of health-care services.
Business Associates
The organization that encounters PHI in any capacity while working on behalf of a covered entity on a contract basis. Billing businesses, third-party consultants, IT providers, cloud storage providers, and others fall into this category.
Kratikal’s Security Audit Approach
Every HIPAA journey begins with understanding how your business operates. Our team engages key stakeholders to:
a. Determine whether your organization is a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA.
b. Map the flow of Protected Health Information (PHI) across systems, processes, and vendors
c. Identify the technologies, applications, and workflows involved in PHI Processing
d. Define the scope of compliance, ensuring clarity on what data, systems, and processes fall under HIPAA.
This phase sets the groundwork for a well-defined compliance roadmap tailored to your operations.
