Ensuring Data Security in Critical Healthcare Infrastructure for Healthium Medtech Limited

Healthium Medtech Limited, a leading name in the Indian MedTech industry, delivers essential surgical and healthcare products to over 20,000 surgeons and 17,000 hospitals across more than 90 countries. With over 52,000 SKUs and seven state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, Healthium stands at the forefront of medical device innovation.

As Healthium expanded its digital presence with cloud-native platforms and mobile healthcare apps, protecting sensitive patient data and intellectual property became a top priority. To address rising cyber risks and regulatory demands, Threatsys Technologies, India’s trusted cybersecurity company, was brought in to ensure complete healthcare cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation.

As a rapidly scaling medical technology company, Healthium Medtech Limited was operating in a high stakes environment where the protection of sensitive health data, regulatory compliance, and platform availability were non-negotiable. With operations extending across international markets, Healthium had to ensure its digital infrastructure remained resilient against cyber threats while continuing to innovate.

Healthium’s IT ecosystem consisted of critical cloud hosted health data, mobile applications used by healthcare professionals, and a growing web ecosystem that enabled customers and hospital partners to access and manage medical resources online. This digital expansion introduced multiple attack surfaces that required comprehensive protection.

The primary challenges included exposure to evolving threats across cloud native platforms and mobile environments, as well as maintaining HIPAA and EU MDR compliance across all layers of their infrastructure. Additionally, Healthium had to unify security across internal networks, open APIs, and diverse server configurations, many of which supported time-sensitive healthcare operations.

All security improvements needed to be achieved without disrupting ongoing operations a significant challenge in a 24/7 MedTech environment. Healthium required a proven cybersecurity partner with deep expertise in healthcare security, experience in penetration testing and regulatory audit readiness, and the ability to deliver enterprise-grade vulnerability remediation at scale.

Threatsys Technologies engaged a multi disciplinary cybersecurity team to deliver full spectrum testing and audit services tailored specifically for the healthcare technology environment. Given the sensitive nature of Healthium’s data and infrastructure, the approach was designed to address sector specific risks while aligning with international compliance standards.

The engagement began with Network Penetration Testing, where Threatsys conducted both black-box and white-box assessments across Healthium’s internal LAN, perimeter, and remote access interfaces. Simulated real-world attack vectors, such as privilege escalation, network pivoting, and lateral movement, were used to expose any hidden weaknesses in the network architecture. This helped identify access vulnerabilities and unauthorized entry points before they could be exploited.

In the Cloud Penetration Testing phase, Threatsys evaluated Healthium’s AWS environment, including services like EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, and API Gateway. Using a combination of commercial tools and manual techniques, the team identified misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and weak access control policies. The audit was benchmarked against industry standards such as CIS Cloud Benchmarks and NIST 800-53, ensuring Healthium’s cloud security posture met global best practices.

For Web and Mobile Application Security Testing, Threatsys performed both static and dynamic analysis on Healthium’s internal and patient-facing apps. This included testing for common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, insecure data storage, and broken authentication mechanisms with a focus on OWASP Top 10 coverage. Tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Acunetix, Veracode, and HCL AppScan were employed to ensure robust vulnerability identification and remediation.

A comprehensive Configuration Audit was also carried out across Healthium’s servers, CI/CD pipelines, and internal DevOps environments. Threatsys evaluated firewall rules, identity access controls, hardening baselines, and deployment settings. The audit was mapped to guidelines from CERT-IN, OWASP, and the SANS 25 Secure Configuration Standards, resulting in detailed hardening recommendations to strengthen system defenses.

Throughout the engagement, Threatsys maintained continuous collaboration with Healthium’s development, DevOps, and security teams. This included validating and patching vulnerabilities, updating cloud IAM policies, tuning firewall settings, and conducting secure coding workshops. This hands-on partnership ensured smooth execution without impacting critical healthcare operations, while also boosting internal security capabilities.

With Threatsys Technologies as the cybersecurity partner, Healthium Medtech Limited successfully achieved end-to-end security coverage across its digital infrastructure. The comprehensive cybersecurity audit included network, cloud, web, mobile apps, and internal configurations. Over 60 vulnerabilities were identified including several critical and high-risk issues all of which were patched and revalidated during the course of the engagement.

Threatsys’s audit reports were meticulously aligned with international and domestic regulatory standards, including HIPAA, EU MDR, and Indian data privacy regulations. This ensured that Healthium was fully prepared for any third-party security audits, significantly boosting its compliance readiness and operational confidence.

The entire assessment was conducted in accordance with CERT-IN best practices, using officially approved methodologies. Threatsys’s reporting and remediation process followed India’s national cybersecurity framework, resulting in Healthium’s infrastructure meeting stringent CERT-IN guidelines a crucial requirement for businesses operating in sensitive sectors like healthcare.

Following the post-audit validations, no critical or high-risk vulnerabilities remained in any of the production systems. This level of assurance played a critical role in maintaining uptime and trust in Healthium’s services among healthcare professionals and patients alike.

Additionally, Threatsys delivered internal cybersecurity awareness sessions, which included secure development training, DevSecOps integration guidance, and phishing simulations. These initiatives contributed to building a stronger security culture within Healthium, equipping staff and developers to actively mitigate evolving threats.

This successful engagement not only reinforced Threatsys Technologies’ capabilities in protecting high-stakes healthcare ecosystems but also established the firm as a trusted cybersecurity leader in the global MedTech space. It demonstrated Threatsys’s commitment to delivering world-class penetration testing, cloud security, and regulatory-aligned configuration audits tailored to the unique demands of medical technology organizations.
