Garner Health, founded in 2019, operates at the intersection of healthcare data and financial incentives. The company's platform analyzes medical claims to identify high-performing doctors and reimburses out-of-pocket costs for employees who choose them. The core challenge isn't just data volume - it's securing one of the largest medical records databases in the United States, containing over 60 billion records covering 320 million patients.
The threat model here is classic healthcare: protecting personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) at massive scale while the platform ingests, processes, and analyzes claims data from over 700 partner organizations. Technical domains span data analytics, medical claims analysis, and healthcare quality measurement, all operating across the U.S. employer benefits and insurance verticals.
Security work at Garner means defending a data pipeline that touches the full lifecycle of sensitive health information - from ingestion through analysis to the financial reimbursement layer. The company's data-driven approach permeates its engineering culture, with a stated mission to reshape healthcare economics by aligning provider incentives with actual patient outcomes.
