ABOUT CUSTOMER

A digital therapeutics company focused on women's behavioral and maternal mental health, this organization delivers proactive, personalized wellness programs, including tools addressing postpartum depression and related conditions, to a fast-growing user base. As a regulated digital health platform, the company processes sensitive clinical and payment data, placing security and compliance at the center of its operations.

Industry: Healthcare / Digital Therapeutics Compliance requirements: HIPAA, PCI DSS, FDA Siemba solution: Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)

CHALLENGES

As a custodian of protected health information (PHI) and payment data, the company faced an elevated responsibility to protect user privacy while meeting the rigorous demands of healthcare compliance frameworks.

The team needed a solution that could keep pace with their development velocity, surface real risk across a distributed infrastructure, and generate compliance-ready reporting without manual overhead.

"Our primary problem statement revolved around HIPAA, PCI, and compliance, protecting PII and sensitive data, and we needed to constantly benchmark and maintain visibility into our security landscape, while expediting vulnerability remediation timelines."

WHY SIEMBA

The company engaged Siemba as a PTaaS provider to close the gap between fast-moving product development and the compliance demands of a regulated healthcare environment. Key priorities included continuous monitoring, recurring penetration tests and vulnerability assessments, and robust retesting workflows, all designed to surface and remediate vulnerabilities before they could be exploited.

LOOKING AHEAD

The evolving cyber threat and compliance landscape, particularly in healthcare, demands ongoing threat detection and validation with a sustained focus on data protection. Siemba has been briefing the company on upcoming Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) capabilities, including GenPT (AI-driven autonomous pentesting), attack surface mapping, and third-party integrations. These capabilities will further strengthen the organization's security posture as it scales.
