Legacy patient data platform had no clear security ownership, mixed compliance obligations (HIPAA), and engineers who were afraid to ship because "something might break."
First compliant release shipped within the engagement window. Engineers went from one deploy per sprint to daily deployments.
Context
A 12-person healthcare SMB had been running on a platform built four years earlier. Compliance requirements had grown, but the platform hadn't kept up. Fear of breaking something had slowed delivery to a crawl.
Approach
- 01Week 1: Audited platform architecture and documented current HIPAA exposure surface
- 02Week 2: Assigned security ownership, created compliance checklist embedded in the release process
- 03Weeks 3–4: Introduced feature flags for safe incremental delivery and ran the first compliant release end-to-end
Result
First compliant release shipped inside the engagement. Deploy frequency increased from once per sprint to daily within 45 days.
