Network Penetration Testing for Private Medical Clinics in Indianapolis
Private medical clinics in Indianapolis and across Indiana are prime targets for cybercriminals. Electronic health records, insurance details, payment information, and clinical systems are extremely valuable on the black market and heavily regulated under HIPAA and related healthcare laws.
Attackers use methods such as malware, phishing emails, weak password attacks, SQL injection, and ransomware to gain access to this data or disrupt operations. A single successful breach can result in:
Regulatory penalties for HIPAA non-compliance and breach notification failures
Financial loss from downtime, data recovery, legal fees, and patient notification
Reputation damage that directly impacts patient trust and referrals
According to industry studies, the median cost of a data breach reached $4.24M in 2021 (source), and that figure only reflects incidents that were reported. For an independent medical clinic or multi-site practice in Indianapolis, even a fraction of that impact can be business‑changing.
To keep clinical operations running and patient information safe, private clinics need to regularly review, test, and improve their cybersecurity controls. This is where network penetration testing (pen testing) becomes essential.
Network penetration testing is a controlled, simulated cyberattack on your clinic’s IT environment. Ethical hackers attempt to compromise your network, applications, and devices the same way a real attacker would—without the actual damage. The goal is to:
Identify vulnerabilities before criminals find them
Validate how well your IT security controls and configurations actually work
Assess your ability to detect and respond to an attack (your Blue Team capabilities)
Support HIPAA, HITECH, and insurance-driven security assessment requirements
Indianapolis Penetration Testing Expertise for Private Clinics
OCD Tech provides network penetration testing and ethical hacking services to private medical clinics in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana, from single-location practices to multi-clinic groups and specialty centers.
Our team combines IT risk advisory, cybersecurity consulting, and hands-on penetration testing experience across healthcare and other regulated industries. We understand the realities of a clinic environment—internet-facing patient portals, cloud-based EHR systems, legacy medical devices, remote billing staff, and third-party vendors accessing your network.
Each engagement is designed to be practical and actionable for clinic owners, administrators, and IT teams. You receive:
A clear view of how an attacker could move from the internet into your clinic network or EHR systems
Specific, prioritized recommendations to close the gaps we find
Evidence you can share with leadership, boards, insurers, and auditors
The result is not just a technical report—it is a focused security roadmap tailored to the way private medical clinics operate in Indianapolis.
Our Network Penetration Testing Methodology
OCD Tech follows a structured, repeatable penetration testing methodology that mirrors how real-world attackers operate, while keeping patient data protected and systems stable. Typical activities include:
Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering information about your clinic’s external presence (domains, IP addresses, exposed services) without touching production systems.
Active Reconnaissance – Safely scanning and probing your external and internal network to identify open ports, misconfigurations, and outdated software.
Social Engineering (where in-scope) – Testing staff awareness through controlled phishing simulations or phone-based attempts, reflecting the most common entry method into clinics.
Exploitation – Attempting to use identified vulnerabilities to gain initial access, such as breaking in via weak credentials, misconfigured VPNs, or unpatched systems.
Post-Exploitation – Assessing how far an attacker could go once inside: accessing file shares, EHR systems, or internal applications.
Privilege Escalation – Trying to obtain higher-level accounts (e.g., domain admin, EHR admin) to understand potential impact on clinical operations and data.
Lateral Movement – Testing how easily an attacker could move between departments, locations, or cloud services once inside your environment.
Maintain Access – Demonstrating how long an attacker could remain undetected if existing monitoring and logging are weak.
Covering Tracks – Evaluating whether an attacker could hide their activity from your logs and security tools.
Reporting & Debrief – Delivering a detailed, plain-language report with technical evidence, risk ratings, and step-by-step remediation guidance, followed by a review session with your leadership and IT team.
This approach allows us to simulate a realistic Red Team attack while helping your internal Blue Team improve detection and response, effectively functioning as a Purple Team-style engagement when desired.
National Reach, Local Focus
Although we have a strong focus on Indianapolis and Indiana healthcare organizations, OCD Tech provides network penetration testing services across the U.S., including:
Wherever your clinics operate, our testing approach remains consistent, with local regulatory and operational considerations built into the engagement.
