Most healthcare organizations have invested in data-loss prevention, but few have ever confirmed it works. Exfilium safely simulates a real-world attack, attempting to exfiltrate synthetic patient data using attacker-like techniques. It reveals exactly what escaped, what was blocked, and what your defense stack detected, giving you measurable proof of how your data defenses actually hold up.
Every attempt is scored on two axes: did the data actually leave the network, and did your detection see it? The gap between them is where the risk lives.
Response gap
Total miss
Working as intended
Working, but blind
Highest risk when data leaves and nothing sees it: the top-right corner.
Broad DLP platforms and Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools test just a few basic techniques per channel. Exfilium tests each channel the way an adversary actually would, in-depth and extensive.
Test records are clinically-realistic synthetic patients, complete with the fields your teams work in every day: MRN, diagnoses, medications, allergies, care plans, lab and imaging results, and insurance details. Delivered in real healthcare data formats and built to trigger the exact detection rules a healthcare DLP is tuned for, with zero real patient data ever involved.
Encoding, encryption, chunking, low-and-slow timing, protocol mimicry, layered across channels like DNS, web upload, personal cloud sync, and email. The techniques that slip past basic inspection.
Every attempt carries a unique marker, so your team can reconcile it against your own logs. Findings map to MITRE ATT&CK and to HIPAA controls; technical proof and audit-ready evidence in one report.
Environments drift; gaps reappear. Exfilium re-tests on a schedule and tracks your posture over time, so a fixed control stays fixed.
If you run security or compliance at a healthcare organization and want to know whether your data defenses actually hold, we'd like to talk. Design partners get a free early assessment of their own exfiltration gaps, direct input into the product, and preferred terms when we launch.
