The challenge

Why the hospital needed an audit

MMC Hospital runs several connected systems: a public website, an admin panel for staff and APIs that power its digital services. Each connection is a possible entry point.

The hospital also wanted to stop attackers from sending fake emails that appear to come from its domain, a common trick used against patients and staff.

Scope

What we audited

Every system below was tested with the hospital’s written consent and within agreed testing windows.

Website

Public pages, forms and content checked for common web vulnerabilities.

Admin panel

Login strength, user roles, session timeouts and protection against brute-force attacks.

APIs

Authentication, access control and data exposure on every endpoint.

Email domain security

SPF, DKIM and DMARC records reviewed to prevent spoofed emails.

Approach

How the audit was carried out

A clear, safe process that never put live hospital services at risk.

  1. 01

    Scope and consent

    Systems, accounts and testing windows agreed with the hospital before testing.

  2. 02

    Testing

    Automated scans plus manual testing of the admin panel and APIs.

  3. 03

    Reporting

    Findings ranked from critical to low, each with proof and fix steps.

  4. 04

    Retest

    Fixed areas were tested again to confirm the issues were resolved.

  • Retest report

Outcome

What changed for the hospital

Findings and system details stay confidential. This is the impact we can share.

Login and role settings reviewed so only the right staff reach sensitive tools.

Safer integrations

APIs checked so data is only shared with authorised apps and users.

Harder to impersonate

Email records reviewed to make spoofed hospital emails easier to block.
