Also I'm 97% sure I could own your site in under a day, based on how home-baked you just said it is, and I'm garbage at pen testing.

The internal and external security audits already performed by the billion-dollar healthcare company in question disagree with you.

I can't speak to your specific case, but I've seen a tool "pass" a billion-dollar company's auditing because the scanner they used never got past the login screen and their folks never noticed that fact.

Is it bad that the more spent on the audit and the larger the company the less I trust the results?

No, they just had to check that box to make sure that they did ‘everything in their power’ to make it secure.

I'm super glad to hear that happened, but please understand where I'm coming from when I said what I did; reinventing the wheel (as I'm sure you had to here) is straight up dangerous.
