PHI exposure closed quietly, in seven days
A telehealth startup discovered an authenticated endpoint was leaking patient identifiers through a sidebar widget. We confirmed scope, ran a full audit, and shipped fix code in seven days.
Challenge
Their internal team flagged the issue late on a Friday. They needed (a) confirmation of scope, (b) a HIPAA-aligned report for their compliance officer, and (c) a remediation plan their team could ship without breaking patient flows.
Approach
Senior analyst paired with their lead engineer in the order chat over the weekend. Audit kicked off Monday, fixes shipped Wednesday, re-test confirmed Friday. Compliance officer received a HIPAA-mapped report on Saturday.
Outcome
No patient harm. No notification trigger. Compliance officer signed off without escalation.
