Fluent Health is a health-tech app that serves as a comprehensive platform for managing personal health records. With a strong focus on empowering patients, the app provides individuals with the ability to monitor and control their medical records efficiently.
The Challenge
Fluent Health faced a significant challenge in ensuring the security of sensitive health data managed within its platform. As a health-tech app handling Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR), it needed to guarantee the security and compliance of its infrastructure.
Fluent Health recognized the need for a cybersecurity partner with expertise in EMR-EHR compliance to protect their user data and ensure alignment with new regulatory frameworks, particularly following changes in Indian law regarding personal data protection. The app’s architecture involved multiple third-party applications acting as backend databases, posing potential security risks.
Bornsec addressed these issues, thoroughly evaluating the app’s ecosystem. They focused on identifying potential gaps, particularly within third-party applications, and ensuring the app’s development aligned with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) necessary to safeguard personal health records.
Bornsec’s role was pivotal in securing the app’s infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities, and providing a strategic plan that mitigated cybersecurity threats while ensuring compliance with healthcare standards.
