HealthTech App – Data Privacy & Compliance

Project Overview

A digital health startup storing sensitive user health data required a compliance-focused security uplift. Our mission was to align their infrastructure and application with HIPAA and data privacy regulations while keeping operations agile and efficient.

Challenges

  1. No encryption at rest for patient records.
  2. Insufficient user access control and audit trails.
  3. Lack of formal data classification and retention policies.
  4. Cloud-hosted infrastructure with open ports and misconfigured storage.
  5. Non-compliance with HIPAA security rules.

Solutions

  1. Applied AES-256 encryption for sensitive data and backups.
  2. Configured role-based access control (RBAC) with session logging.
  3. Performed gap analysis against HIPAA standards.
  4. Hardened cloud infrastructure (AWS) using CIS Benchmarks.
  5. Developed SOPs for breach response and data lifecycle management.
