A FORTIFY LABS PRACTICE

The healthcare security practice of Fortify Labs.

HIPAA Shield is the healthcare-focused practice of Fortify Labs LLC. We use the same compound-learning scan engine that powers Fortify Labs’ other brands — tuned for healthcare data, HIPAA Security Rule citations, and the evidence format that OCR, procurement teams, and BAA counterparties actually accept.

Why HIPAA Shield exists

A generic pentest does not speak the same language as OCR.

Fortify Labs has been running healthcare pentests for years. The pattern was always the same: clients wanted a penetration test, but they needed HIPAA evidence — the Security Rule citations, the BAA scope gap analysis, the Breach Notification Rule impact write-up.

A generic report with CVSS scores and OWASP categories doesn’t answer the question a Chief Compliance Officer has to answer when OCR calls. HIPAA Shield was spun up as a dedicated practice to close that gap.

We’re healthcare-first. Every scan check, every report template, every deliverable format is built against 45 CFR Part 164 — and continuously improved as our compound-learning brain discovers new healthcare attack patterns.

How we’re different

  • PHI-pattern aware scanning
    The scan engine recognizes PHI shapes — MRN formats, DOB + diagnosis, HL7 v2 fields, FHIR Patient resources — and flags every place they can leak.
  • 45 CFR citation on every finding
    Every finding is mapped to a specific Security Rule standard. Your CCO gets an audit-ready artifact, not a generic pentest report.
  • Compound learning
    Every engagement adds new beliefs to our brain. The 100th healthcare engagement is measurably smarter than the 1st.

A few things we are not

Plain about what we do and don’t do.

  • We are not a Covered Entity. We are a Business Associate when PHI is in scope, and we sign a BAA before any engagement that could involve ePHI.
  • We are not a compliance consultancy in the policy-drafting sense. We test technical and organizational controls; we do not draft your HR training or your workforce sanction policy.
  • We are not a HITRUST assessor or SOC 2 auditor. Our reports are used as evidence by those assessors, but we are not accredited to issue those certifications.
  • We do not sell our scanning platform to you as a SaaS for internal use. That product is VibeArmor. HIPAA Shield is a services engagement.
  • We do not run drive-by scans against URLs you send us without a signed mutual NDA and a scoping call. That is a VibeArmor feature, not ours.
