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
- No encryption at rest for patient records.
- Insufficient user access control and audit trails.
- Lack of formal data classification and retention policies.
- Cloud-hosted infrastructure with open ports and misconfigured storage.
- Non-compliance with HIPAA security rules.
Solutions
- Applied AES-256 encryption for sensitive data and backups.
- Configured role-based access control (RBAC) with session logging.
- Performed gap analysis against HIPAA standards.
- Hardened cloud infrastructure (AWS) using CIS Benchmarks.
- Developed SOPs for breach response and data lifecycle management.
