Healthcare API Threats We Prevent

Proactive protection against threats targeting patient data and healthcare systems

PHI Data Exfiltration

Unauthorized access to Protected Health Information (PHI) via EHR/EMR APIs. We detect and block abnormal data access patterns.

Prevention: Access control validation, rate limiting, anomaly detection on /patients API

FHIR API Abuse

Attackers exploit HL7 FHIR endpoints to scrape patient records in bulk. We limit query complexity and enforce access policies.

Prevention: FHIR query limiting, bundle size restrictions, consent verification

Ransomware API Targeting

Ransomware groups target healthcare APIs to encrypt patient data. We detect suspicious bulk operations before encryption starts.

Prevention: Velocity monitoring, unusual pattern detection, circuit breakers

Four Platforms for Healthcare

API Security + MCP Security + AI Gateway + Marketplace — unified for healthcare

API Security

HIPAA Compliance

Auto-generate compliance reports for HIPAA Security Rule 164.312. We map every security control to specific HIPAA requirements.

  • §164.312(a)(1) - Access control (unique user IDs)
  • §164.312(b) - Audit controls (tamper-evident logs)
  • §164.312(e)(1) - Transmission security (TLS 1.3)

MCP Security

AI Diagnostics

Secure AI agents that assist with clinical decisions. Monitor tool calls to patient databases and audit AI-driven diagnoses.

  • Prompt injection detection for clinical AI agents
  • Tool call monitoring for EHR data access
  • HIPAA-compliant audit logs for AI decisions

AI Gateway

Clinical LLMs

Route LLM calls for clinical decision support and medical summarization. PHI scrubbing before sending to LLM providers.

  • Multi-LLM routing (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure)
  • Automatic failover for critical diagnostics
  • PHI scrubbing before LLM processing

Marketplace

HIPAA Plugins

Access 550+ security plugins including HIPAA-specific integrations, HL7 FHIR validators, and healthcare compliance tools.

  • HIPAA BAA templates & compliance validators
  • HL7 FHIR R4/R5 security validators
  • Epic/Cerner EHR integration plugins

Healthcare-Specific Features

Built specifically for healthcare compliance and patient data protection. Every feature designed to meet HIPAA, HITECH, and healthcare interoperability standards.

Audit-Ready Logs

HIPAA requires audit logs for all PHI access. We log every API request with who, what, when, and why—ready for OCR audits and breach investigations.

  • User ID, timestamp, action logged
  • 6-year retention (HIPAA requirement)
  • SHA-256 hash chaining
  • Exportable for OCR investigations

Break-the-Glass Access

Allow emergency access to patient data while maintaining audit trails. Critical for ER scenarios where seconds matter and lives are at stake.

  • Emergency endpoints bypass rate limits
  • Flagged for post-incident review
  • Automatic security notification
  • Configurable approval workflow

HL7 FHIR Security

Secure FHIR R4/R5 endpoints with resource-level access control. Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive FHIR resources and enforce consent directives.

  • Resource-level permissions
  • Search parameter validation
  • Bundle size limiting
  • SMART on FHIR authorization

Patient Consent Management

Enforce patient consent directives at the API layer. Automatically block data sharing for patients who have opted out of specific use cases.

  • Consent directive enforcement
  • Purpose-of-use validation
  • Data segmentation support
  • 42 CFR Part 2 compliance

Breach Detection & Response

Real-time detection of potential PHI breaches with automated containment. Meet HITECH Act breach notification requirements with detailed incident reports.

  • Unusual access pattern detection
  • Auto-block suspicious activity
  • Breach assessment reports
  • 60-day notification tracking

Compliance Reporting

Automated report generation for HIPAA risk assessments, meaningful use attestation, and regulatory audits. Export evidence packages for your compliance team.

  • HIPAA Security Rule mapping
  • Risk assessment automation
  • Evidence package export
  • Control effectiveness scoring

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about G8KEPR for healthcare organizations

Is G8KEPR HIPAA compliant?

Yes. G8KEPR is fully HIPAA compliant and designed to help covered entities and business associates maintain compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C).

We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all healthcare customers and undergo annual HIPAA audits. Our infrastructure meets all technical safeguard requirements for access control, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security.

How does G8KEPR handle PHI?

G8KEPR operates as a security proxy—we inspect API traffic patterns and metadata for threats but minimize PHI exposure. Sensitive identifiers (SSN, MRN, DOB) are automatically detected and redacted from our logs using healthcare-specific DLP rules.

For customers requiring zero PHI in logs, we offer a "metadata-only" mode that captures security events without request/response bodies.

Do you provide a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

Yes. We provide a signed BAA to all healthcare customers on paid plans at no additional cost. Our standard BAA covers all HIPAA requirements and can be customized for organizations with specific legal requirements.

Contact our healthcare team to request a BAA or discuss custom contract terms for your organization.

Can G8KEPR secure HL7 FHIR APIs?

Yes. G8KEPR has built-in support for HL7 FHIR R4 and R5 APIs. We provide resource-level access control, search parameter validation, bundle size limits, and SMART on FHIR authorization support.

Our FHIR security rules prevent common attacks like bulk data export abuse, unauthorized resource access, and search parameter injection while maintaining interoperability.

How long are audit logs retained?

G8KEPR retains audit logs for 6 years by default to meet HIPAA's documentation retention requirements (45 CFR 164.530(j)). Logs are stored with tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chaining.

Logs can be exported to your SIEM, data lake, or cold storage at any time. We also offer extended retention options for organizations with longer compliance requirements.

What is your uptime guarantee for healthcare?

G8KEPR guarantees 99.99% uptime for healthcare customers. Our multi-region architecture with automatic failover ensures your patient-facing APIs remain protected even during infrastructure issues.

For critical healthcare applications (ER systems, medication dispensing), we offer dedicated infrastructure with 99.999% uptime SLAs and priority incident response.
