Incident response

Veridian maintains a documented incident response process used for any event that could affect the security, integrity, or availability of practice or patient data. This page is the public summary; the full runbook is part of our internal security package.

How we detect incidents

  • 24/7 automated monitoring on authentication, API usage, payment flows, and infrastructure health.
  • Anomaly detection alerting on unusual access or error patterns.
  • Customer-reported issues through the dashboard or support email.
  • Bug bounty and responsible disclosure (see below).

Severity levels

LevelExamples
SEV-1Confirmed unauthorized access to PHI; production-wide outage.
SEV-2Suspected PHI exposure; major degraded performance.
SEV-3Single-practice impact, no PHI exposure.
SEV-4Internal issue with no customer impact.

Phases

Every incident moves through:
  1. Detection — automated alert or report received.
  2. Triage — on-call engineer confirms scope and severity.
  3. Containment — stop the bleeding (revoke credentials, isolate hosts, block traffic).
  4. Eradication — remove the root cause.
  5. Recovery — restore service and verify integrity.
  6. Post-incident review — root cause, timeline, corrective actions, shared with affected practices.

Customer communication

For SEV-1 and SEV-2 incidents that involve a practice’s data, Veridian notifies the affected practices through the contact on file. Initial notification happens as soon as Veridian has enough information to be useful — typically within hours of containment, not after the full investigation is complete. For incidents that may constitute a breach of unsecured PHI under HIPAA, Veridian follows the timelines and content requirements of the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 CFR § 164.410) for notifying the covered-entity practice.

Practice obligations

When Veridian notifies a practice of an incident, the practice is expected to:
  • Acknowledge the notification through normal support channels.
  • Provide any information needed to assess scope on the practice side.
  • Cooperate on patient notification if it becomes necessary.

Drills

Veridian runs periodic incident response drills covering both technical and communication paths. Findings feed back into the runbook.

Reporting a vulnerability

If you believe you’ve found a security issue in Veridian, please email security@veridianhp.com. We commit to:
  • Acknowledging your report within one business day.
  • Keeping you informed as we triage and remediate.
  • Not pursuing legal action for good-faith research that respects user privacy and avoids degrading service.
Please do not test against real PHI. Use sandbox credentials, which are freely available.
