This document provides a consolidated summary of the cybersecurity assessments performed on the Hyfe CoughMonitor Suite (CMS), including the Android application, the iOS application, and the Insights API. The results across all three components indicate that the CMS platform is cybersecure, implements modern protections, and contains no critical vulnerabilities. The content below integrates the findings from the Android static analysis, the iOS static analysis, and the API penetration test. Citations reference the reviewed files.
The cybersecurity evaluations covered the core components of the CMS
ecosystem:
- the Android application - the iOS application
- and the Insights API backend services
Testing included static analysis, dynamic analysis, and penetration testing aligned with OWASP guidance. Each component was examined for encryption use, certificate configuration, data handling patterns, storage behaviors, network activity, authentication flows, and permission practices. All analyses were conducted on production or production-equivalent builds to ensure realistic characterization of risk.
Across all testing activities, no critical or high-severity vulnerabilities were identified in any part of the CMS platform. All findings were low-severity or informational in nature and did not expose user data, compromise backend integrity, or threaten overall system security. The platform consistently uses encrypted communication, applies secure authentication mechanisms, and avoids dangerous data-handling behaviors. Based on the combined evidence from all three assessments, the CMS platform is considered secure for real-world use, including deployment in regulated health environments where cybersecurity protections are essential.
An OWASP-based penetration test was performed against the production Hyfe Insights API. The API demonstrated strong security fundamentals, including the use of modern encryption protocols such as TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. Certificates were valid, properly configured, and not revoked. Access to all endpoints behaved as intended, and authentication and authorization controls operated correctly. The assessment identified only one medium-severity item: a permissive CORS configuration that allowed broader-than-necessary cross-origin requests. Several low-severity items were also noted, including the absence of an HSTS header and the absence of an X-Content-Type-Options header. None of these issues exposed sensitive data, enabled unauthorized access, or represented a meaningful security risk.
The Android application review found no insecure permissions, no dangerous API calls, and no inappropriate network behaviors. The application did not contain malware, unsafe libraries, trackers, or data-exfiltration mechanisms. No hardcoded secrets or insecure storage patterns were discovered. All network interactions were properly routed through secure, encrypted API channels. The static analysis demonstrated that the Android app follows modern security practices and does not handle data in a manner that would compromise user privacy or system integrity.
The iOS application achieved a security score of 85 out of 100 and contained zero trackers. This is considered “very secure” per general industry standards of:
The score means o critical vulnerabilities, no high-risk issues, only minor or low-risk findings, reliable configuration and a strong privacy posture.
The assessment found no dangerous permissions, no violations of Apple’s App Transport Security requirements, and no high-severity risks. Two informational findings were noted: the use of a database library in a manner that should ensure sensitive information is encrypted, and logging patterns that should avoid capturing sensitive data. These issues did not involve actual data exposure or insecure storage in the tested configuration. The iOS application contained no malware, unsafe code patterns, hardcoded secrets, or insecure networking activity. All communications traveled through encrypted channels to the secure backend.
Taken together, the results from the API, Android application, and iOS application assessments show consistent security practices across the CMS platform. All components rely on encrypted communication, maintain secure storage behaviors, and avoid patterns that would put confidential data at risk. The limited findings identified across the assessments were configuration-related and minor, rather than functional vulnerabilities or exploitable weaknesses. No component demonstrated behavior that would threaten confidentiality, integrity, or availability. The overall security posture of the CMS platform is strong and well-aligned with modern healthcare cybersecurity expectations.
Based on independent testing of the Insights API, Android application, and iOS application, the CMS meets contemporary cybersecurity requirements and demonstrates no critical risks. The system is considered cybersecure and appropriate for deployment in environments that require reliable protection of health-related data.
