Positive impact of Security by Design in the medical sector
RBdigital, an RBHold Group company, provides digital solutions that transform the healthcare experience for patients and institutions. Founded with the aim of responding to the new needs of the healthcare and insurance industries, RBdigital is dedicated to creating innovative platforms and tools that improve healthcare practice management and enhance communication between systems, building a network of solutions that ensure security, transparency and accessibility, while meeting strict regulatory standards.
At RBdigital, IT security was integrated into the development process in an unstructured way.
This led to significant vulnerabilities that required costly remediation and threatened the future of the business.
The goal was to ensure a secure platform from the ground up, avoiding security holes and ensuring regulatory compliance, which is essential for the management of healthcare data.
An initial security audit revealed serious vulnerabilities that required significant action. This had an immediate impact on the development team, who had to address critical issues urgently, and increased the pressure on internal stakeholders.
RBdigital faced a complex and delicate situation:
The greatest risk was the potential for serious disruption to the company’s business.
Realising that the current model was not sustainable in the long term, RBdigital embarked on a radical redesign. This process required a change in mindset and a complete overhaul of the platform: security had to become a central pillar, built in from the outset.
The big challenge: a radical change.
By applying Security by Design at all stages of development, RB Digital avoided future costly remediation.
To ensure the success of the project, Mobisec was brought in for its proven expertise in IT security management.
The new platform had to be in place without delay, despite the addition of stricter security requirements.
RB Digital: important achievements.
