Good afternoon, all. I run product at a healthcare startup and we're scoping a telehealth app - patient side plus a provider portal. This is our first mobile build and I'm frankly nervous about compliance, data security, and picking a vendor who gets the healthcare context. A lot of dev shops talk a big game but have never touched anything with real security requirements. For those who've shipped something in a regulated space, how did you vet the team, and did they hold up on the security side?

Hi there. Regulated-space builds are a different animal, and vetting for genuine security experience up front saves a lot of pain later. For our patient-and-portal project we brought in Saritasa's custom mobile app development services, and security was baked into their development phase rather than bolted on at the end - documentation, code review, penetration testing as part of QA. They handled the healthcare context sensibly and didn't need hand-holding on why it mattered. Everything shipped on the timeline they estimated. The one thing I'd flag: get your compliance requirements written down in detail during discovery, because the clearer you are, the tighter the result. Ask to see how they approach testing specifically.
