Healthcare and life sciences

Protect PHI, clinical workflows, medical devices, and AI used in care or operations.

Detect PHI leakage and unsafe model behavior, test clinical AI, preserve evidence, and route incidents through containment, notification, remediation, and retest workflows.

Sector problems

What this environment has to get right

  • Clinicians and staff paste patient identifiers into AI tools.
  • Connected medical devices often cannot be patched or actively scanned.
  • Ransomware on a clinical system threatens care, not only IT operations.
  • Business-associate agreements and vendor access are hard to keep current.

Regulations and frameworks

How AI SOAR supports the evidence, not the determination

Mappings help you collect and organize evidence. An assessor, examiner, auditor, or authorizing official still decides whether the obligation is met. The platform does not certify an organization or file a regulatory notice.

FrameworkWhat it asks forHow the platform helps
HIPAA and HITECHOfficial source ↗Safeguard ePHI, limit use and disclosure, and support breach assessment and notification.Risk analysis, business-associate tracking, safeguard evidence, and incident workflows support the privacy and security officers. A proposed Security Rule update published in January 2025 was not final as of September 2026; mappings follow the current rule.
HITRUST CSFMany covered entities and business associates use HITRUST to harmonize HIPAA with other control sets.The healthcare evidence pack can map collected safeguards to HITRUST CSF for the assessor. Certification remains the assessor's decision.
FDA device cybersecurityOfficial source ↗Device makers provide cybersecurity plans, software bills of materials, and postmarket vulnerability management.Connected-device discovery and supply-chain records support premarket and postmarket expectations. Active tests stay inside an approved change window.
21 CFR Part 11Electronic records and signatures must show who did what, and when.The evidence chain records the actor, the action, and the time for the records the platform holds.

Typical workflows

Illustrative missions, with a person still in control

These workflows show how documented capabilities apply. They are not customer case studies, and they do not describe a guaranteed outcome.

Keep PHI out of AI prompts

Problem
Staff use assistants to summarize notes and sometimes include patient identifiers.
What the platform does
The AI Firewall redacts personal and health information and blocks prompt injection. Discovery finds unsanctioned AI tools.
Human approval
Sending sensitive data to an external model requires written approval for that use and data class.
Evidence
Usage records showing the caller, the provider tier, and the approval reference.

Ransomware on a clinical network overnight

Problem
Endpoint alerts show encryption behavior on a server that supports scheduling, and the on-call team is not at a console.
What the platform does
Autonomous SOC correlates endpoint, log, and identity signals and prepares containment through the hospital's own tools.
Human approval
Isolation and account changes wait for the on-call lead.
Evidence
An incident record, an action audit, and inputs the privacy officer can use for a breach assessment.

Inventory connected devices without an active scan

Problem
Biomedical engineering needs a risk view of devices that cannot be scanned aggressively.
What the platform does
Passive discovery builds the inventory. Findings map to device-security and HIPAA expectations.
Human approval
Any active test requires written approval and a change window.
Evidence
A device inventory, exposure findings, and a remediation roadmap.

A practical route from scope to evidence

  1. 01

    Scope and connect

    Define the customer profile, authorized assets, and responsible owners. Protect PHI, clinical workflows, medical devices, and AI used in care or operations.

  2. 02

    Test and investigate

    Use PHI/DLP guardian, AI HealthCheck, medical-device assessment workflows with approved credentials and mission limits. Preserve source evidence and failures alongside findings.

  3. 03

    Remediate and verify

    Assign corrective work, obtain approvals, capture changes, and retest. Export the evidence, exceptions, and status history for business owners and assessors.

Questions for this sector

Answers you can take to a scoping call

Does the platform support HIPAA compliance work?+

It maps evidence to the HIPAA Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules and to HITECH, including risk analysis, business-associate tracking, safeguard evidence, and incident timelines. It does not make a covered entity or business associate compliant by itself.

How does it keep PHI out of AI tools?+

The AI Firewall can redact personal and health information before a prompt reaches a model. Local models can keep inference on the customer's network. External model use for sensitive data stays behind approval.

Can assessments avoid disrupting clinical operations?+

A low-impact testing profile limits work to rate-limited discovery and excludes disruptive templates, so checks can be scheduled around clinical hours. Moving to a more active profile needs written approval.

Does it cover medical-device cybersecurity?+

Connected-device workflows inventory devices that should not be actively scanned and map findings to FDA premarket and postmarket cybersecurity expectations, including software bills of materials. Confirm the device standards that apply to your product.
