Cybersecurity for Healthcare

Healthcare providers process health data, a special category of personal data, and rely on systems with little tolerance for downtime. Nokta Guard penetration tests hospital information systems, patient portals and networks that host medical devices, and measures how effective your KVKK technical measures are.

Relevant regulations

Health data is special category personal data under KVKK (Law No. 6698); see the KVKK Technical Measures page. Public healthcare institutions are also subject to the Information and Communication Security Guide, and the ISO 27001 Penetration Testing page is relevant for certified organizations or those preparing for certification.

Recommended services

Patient portal, mobile app and API penetration testing.
Internal network testing and segmentation checks for medical device networks.
IoT and hardware security testing for medical and IoT devices.
Phishing simulation and digital forensics support if a breach is suspected.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Will testing a hospital network affect patient care?

On critical clinical systems we test only in approved time windows using controlled methods. Active testing of medical devices is carried out on test units or during maintenance where possible.

Is penetration testing mandatory for health data?

KVKK requires measures that ensure an appropriate level of security for all personal data, including special category data. The Authority's Personal Data Security Guide lists regular penetration testing among those measures.

How is medical device security assessed?

We assess each device's network position, exposed services and isolation from other systems. Firmware and hardware-level analysis is planned under IoT and hardware testing, depending on the device.
