Med-IT-Care:
Security Scanning & Testing
We provide an integrated platform for penetration testing and vulnerability scanning that helps your practice reduce risk, strengthen its cybersecurity posture, and confidently meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements through continuous risk assessment and vulnerability management.
Vulnerability Scanning vs Penetration Testing: What's the difference?
Vulnerability scanning: looks across systems, networks, and applications for known issues. It checks things like missing patches, outdated software, exposed services, and configuration gaps. The result is a list of findings, usually ranked by severity, that helps teams understand where potential risks exist.
Penetration Testing: is the process of simulating cyberattacks on systems or networks to discover and assess exploitable security vulnerabilities. It builds on identified weaknesses by attempting to use them in realistic ways, showing how an attacker could move through an environment. This can include escalating privileges, accessing restricted systems, or chaining multiple lower-risk issues together to reach something more critical. The goal is to understand not just what vulnerabilities exist, but how they could be used and what the real impact would be, such as exposure of sensitive data or disruption of key systems.
In practice, vulnerability scanning helps you identify what might be wrong, while penetration testing helps you understand what actually matters and what could happen if those issues were exploited. Using both together gives a clearer picture of overall security.
Med IT Care – Security Testing and Scanning: combines BOTH of these powerful technologies in order to leapfrog your security stance forward and closes HIPAA Security rule gaps.

What is Automated Penetration Testing?
vPenTest is Xodus Healthcare Technology Group’s network penetration testing platform. It brings together the knowledge, methodology, processes, and tools typically used by a team of security consultants into a single, easy-to-deploy solution for organizations of any size.
It allows organizations to run penetration tests within their own environment whenever needed, helping support compliance requirements while also aligning with security best practices. The platform is continuously improved over time, ensuring it stays effective as threats evolve.
Traditionally, getting a penetration test can be challenging. Organizations often run into issues with scheduling, inconsistent experience levels, and reports that don’t clearly explain risks or how to fix them.
vPenTest was built to address those gaps. Backed by years of experience, certifications, and contributions to the security community, it provides a more consistent, accessible way for organizations to understand and reduce their cyber risk in an ever-changing threat landscape.
Compliance
vPenTest helps organizations solve an ongoing challenge of meeting compliance, achieving security best practices, and researching multiple vendors to compare numerous factors to meet their offensive security needs.
Risk Assessment
Combining the knowledge, skills, logic, and toolsets of numerous certified security consultants into one platform, vPenTest is the perfect solution to consistently satisfy your organization’s needs for quality results.
Security Posturing
An important step to assessing your organization’s risk is the ability to detect and respond to malicious activities occurring within your environment. vPenTest creates a separate log file for every single activity that is performed so you can correlate our activities with your monitoring and logging solutions.
By having the ability to perform a quality network penetration test whenever you want and however often you want, your organization can be assured that it will continuously meet security best practices and compliance regulations.
Our Penetration Testing Methodologies:
vPenTest combines multiple methodologies that were once manually conducted, into an automated fashion to consistently provide maximum value to organizations. This testing provides the critical security assessment needed to close security gaps and meet complex compliance reporting requirements facing healthcare IT professionals.
Egress Filtering Testing
Automatically perform egress filtering to ensure that your organization is effectively restricting unnecessary outbound traffic. Unrestricted outbound access can allow a malicious actor to exfiltrate data from your organization’s environment using traditional methods and unmonitored ports.
Authentication Attacks
Upon the discovery of user account credentials, vPenTest will automatically attempt to validate those credentials and determine where they are most useful. This is a common process executed by both malicious attackers and penetration testers and is performed during privilege escalation.
Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement
Using a valid set of credentials, vPenTest will attempt to identify valuable areas within your organization. This is conducted through a variety of methods, including the use of vPenTest’s Leprechaun tool which assists in identifying where sensitive targets are
Data Exfiltration
Critical data leaving your organization is an extremely serious concern. If access to confidential and/or sensitive data can be attained, vPenTest will simulate and log this activity to help your organization tighten areas that should restrict data exfiltration.
Simulated Malware
With elevated access, vPenTest will attempt to upload malicious code into remote systems in an attempt to test the organization’s end-point anti-malware controls
Reports Available within 48 Hours
Our detailed deliverables will allow your network staff to cross reference our activities with monitoring and alerting controls.
