Client Introduction

A mid-market US company providing a telemedicine platform. Their application was built on an older .NET Framework and was struggling with performance issues and concerns about meeting modern HIPAA security standards. Their goal was to modernize the platform to support a 5X increase in patient load and achieve full HIPAA compliance.

Problem

The client's legacy platform was not built to handle the surge in demand for telemedicine. It suffered from performance bottlenecks during peak hours, and its outdated architecture posed significant security risks, jeopardizing HIPAA compliance and patient trust.

Key Challenges

HIPAA Compliance

Ensuring all data handling and storage met strict HIPAA regulations.

Zero Downtime Migration

Migrating a live, mission-critical application with zero downtime.

Scalability

Scaling the database and application layer to handle a massive increase in concurrent users.

Lack of Expertise

Lack of in-house expertise in modern .NET Core, Azure, and cloud security best practices.

Our Solution

We assigned a ".NET Modernization Pod" and a "Cyber-Security Engineering Pod" to work in tandem. The team included .NET Architects, Senior Developers, an Azure Cloud Engineer, and a Certified Ethical Hacker.

🔒 Security-First Architecture

We designed a new architecture on Azure using .NET Core, leveraging Azure's HIPAA-compliant services for databases, storage, and identity management.

🔄 Phased Migration

We implemented the Strangler Fig Pattern, gradually replacing parts of the old application with new microservices, ensuring a seamless transition for existing users.

⚙️ DevSecOps Pipeline

Our security team built a CI/CD pipeline that included static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and automated compliance checks.

🚀 Performance Engineering

The team load-tested the new platform to ensure it could handle well over the projected 5X increase in user traffic without performance degradation.

Implementation and Execution

Month 1: Audit & Design

Comprehensive security audit of the existing platform and design of the new HIPAA-compliant Azure architecture.

Month 2-4: Core Services Dev

Development of the core new services, including patient authentication, appointment scheduling, and secure video streaming.

Month 5: Partial Traffic Routing

Began routing a small percentage of live traffic to the new services to test in a production environment.

Month 6: Core Migration Complete

Completed the migration of all core functionalities to the new platform.

Month 7: Legacy Decommission

Decommissioned the final pieces of the old legacy application.

Month 8: HIPAA Audit Success

Successfully completed a third-party HIPAA compliance audit.

Positive Outcome
