Healthcare organizations rely on encryption and cryptography to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI), patient identities, clinical applications, connected devices, communications, and healthcare infrastructure. As care becomes increasingly digital and interconnected, cryptography is distributed across cloud, mobile, medical device, application, and third-party environments—creating greater complexity, compliance requirements, and cryptographic risk.
SafeLogic helps healthcare companies discover, prioritize, remediate, and govern cryptographic risk. With SafeLogic CPM, SafePQ, and CryptoComply, organizations can protect sensitive health information, address FIPS 140-3 and post-quantum requirements, and improve crypto-agility without disrupting clinical workflows, product development, or performance.
Cryptography Is Embedded
Across the Healthcare Ecosystem
Cryptography is foundational to healthcare security, protecting ePHI at rest and in motion, patient and provider identities, authentication, medical records, connected devices, digital communications, and trusted connections between healthcare systems. But that cryptography is often distributed across applications, cloud services, medical devices, APIs, third-party platforms, cryptographic libraries, certificates, and infrastructure—making visibility, risk prioritization, remediation, and continuous governance essential.
It is embedded throughout:
- Electronic health record and clinical systems
- Medical devices and connected healthcare equipment
- Telehealth and remote patient monitoring
- Patient portals and mobile health applications
- Healthcare APIs and data exchange
- Cloud and hybrid infrastructure
- Identity and access management
- Pharmaceutical and life sciences platforms
- Health plans and payer systems
- Third-party and business associate environments
Healthcare environments are highly interconnected and increasingly dependent on technology from multiple vendors and partners. Modernizing cryptography requires more than replacing an encryption algorithm—it requires visibility, interoperability, regulatory awareness, and a practical migration strategy.
Cryptographic Challenges for
Healthcare Companies
Healthcare organizations may know where applications, devices, services, and infrastructure are deployed without knowing exactly which encryption algorithms, certificates, protocols, libraries, and cryptographic modules those systems use.
That makes it difficult to identify outdated or quantum-vulnerable cryptography, determine which systems create the greatest exposure, and develop a prioritized modernization plan—particularly across complex environments that include legacy applications, cloud services, connected devices, and third-party technology.
SafeLogic CPM helps close that visibility gap by identifying cryptography across software, infrastructure, certificates, communications, operating environments, and production systems.
Healthcare organizations and their business associates are responsible for protecting electronic PHI under the HIPAA Security Rule, which requires appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI.
Encryption under the current HIPAA Security Rule is an addressable implementation specification rather than an unconditional mandate, meaning covered entities must evaluate whether it is reasonable and appropriate and document their decisions. At the same time, HHS breach-notification guidance identifies NIST-tested encryption methods for rendering PHI unusable, unreadable, or indecipherable to unauthorized individuals, including FIPS 140-validated approaches for certain data-in-motion use cases.
For healthcare technology companies, this has made validated encryption an important consideration when building products that protect PHI. FIPS 140-3 is NIST’s current standard for the security requirements of cryptographic modules, superseding FIPS 140-2.
Healthcare data can remain sensitive for years or decades. Patient records, health histories, genomic information, clinical research, intellectual property, and other long-lived data may retain value well beyond the systems that originally created them.
That creates exposure to Harvest Now, Decrypt Later, where attackers capture encrypted information today in anticipation of decrypting it when quantum capabilities mature. SafeLogic identifies healthcare as particularly sensitive to this threat because of the value and longevity of its data.
Healthcare companies therefore need to understand where quantum-vulnerable cryptography exists and develop a practical transition from classical cryptography to hybrid and ultimately post-quantum approaches.
Healthcare technology spans cloud platforms, mobile applications, hospital infrastructure, embedded medical devices, APIs, operating systems, and legacy clinical systems.
These environments cannot all migrate at the same time. Cryptographic modernization must preserve interoperability across devices, applications, partners, and care settings while supporting products that may remain deployed for many years.
Crypto-agility gives healthcare companies a way to adapt algorithms and cryptographic implementations over time without repeatedly redesigning entire products.
Healthcare technology supports clinical care, medical devices, patient access, diagnostics, communications, and other critical workflows where performance and availability matter.
New cryptographic implementations must strengthen security and compliance while accounting for latency, processing power, memory, uptime, and constrained environments—particularly for connected and embedded medical devices.
From Cryptographic Discovery
to Remediation
SafeLogic supports the complete cryptographic modernization lifecycle.
Discover
SafeLogic CPM identifies cryptography across:
- Applications and software dependencies
- Cryptographic libraries and modules
- Certificates and TLS communications
- APIs and healthcare data exchanges
- Operating systems and runtime environments
- Cloud and containerized workloads
- Medical devices and embedded systems
- Development, test, and production environments
Runtime visibility helps healthcare teams distinguish cryptography that is actively being used from findings that may exist only in unused code or dependencies.
Prioritize
SafeLogic combines technical findings with operational and business context to help healthcare organizations prioritize remediation based on:
- Active cryptographic usage
- PHI sensitivity and data longevity
- Patient and clinical impact
- External exposure
- Product and device lifecycle
- Regulatory and compliance requirements
- System criticality
- Third-party and protocol dependencies
This helps security, compliance, and engineering teams focus resources on the cryptographic risks that matter most.
Remediate
SafeLogic provides trusted cryptographic software for different modernization requirements.
SafePQ is designed for healthcare companies whose primary requirement is post-quantum cryptography. It provides commercially supported implementations of NIST-standardized PQC algorithms and supports phased migration from classical cryptography to hybrid and fully post-quantum approaches.
Organizations can support:
- Classical cryptography
- Hybrid classical and post-quantum cryptography
- Fully post-quantum cryptography
- Crypto-agile algorithm selection and transitions
CryptoComply is designed for organizations that need both FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography and post-quantum capabilities. It gives healthcare product and technology teams a commercially supported foundation for validated encryption while building toward crypto-agility and PQC readiness.
This enables healthcare companies to modernize cryptography according to their products, environments, compliance requirements, and risk rather than relying on a disruptive, one-size-fits-all migration.
Govern
SafeLogic helps healthcare organizations continuously manage cryptographic posture by:
- Defining approved and prohibited algorithms
- Detecting unauthorized cryptographic changes
- Tracking PQC migration progress
- Monitoring production usage
- Maintaining cryptographic inventories
- Generating Cryptographic Bills of Materials
- Producing evidence for audits and customers
- Adapting policy as standards and requirements evolve
Cryptographic modernization becomes an ongoing capability rather than a one-time compliance project.
