Zero Trust for Healthcare.
Zero Trust architecture for healthcare — engineered against HIPAA Security Rule, HITRUST CSF, medical device OT segmentation requirements, and the operational reality that clinician workflows cannot tolerate additional friction at the point of care.
Drivers in healthcare
- HIPAA Security Rule §164.308 + §164.312 access + transmission controls
- Medical device OT segmentation (clinical IT / biomedical / operational)
- Clinician workflow preservation (no additional point-of-care friction)
- Cross-system identity for federated health information exchanges
Regulations this combination must satisfy.
- HIPAA Security Rule
- HITRUST CSF
- 42 CFR Part 2
- IEC 80001 (medical IT networks)
Patterns we actually ship for healthcare.
- Pattern · 01
OT segmentation between clinical and biomedical networks with controlled bridges
- Pattern · 02
Conditional access on EHR endpoints with risk-based step-up MFA
- Pattern · 03
Break-glass emergency access patterns with full audit trail
- Pattern · 04
Federated identity for HIE participation without compromising patient consent
Common questions.
Can zero-trust work with clinical workflows?+
Yes — but the friction budget at point-of-care is small. Most controls (continuous authentication, risk-based step-up) happen invisibly; visible MFA is reserved for outside-of-workflow actions like admin operations.
How do you handle medical device OT in a zero-trust model?+
Medical devices typically cannot adopt zero-trust agents. We segment them into device VLANs with controlled bridges to clinical IT, plus PAM-mediated administrative access. The device runs unchanged.
