Industries / Healthcare

Keep patient data safe and clinical systems running.

Healthcare is one of the most targeted industries in the country. Texas has some of the largest medical centers in the world, along with thousands of clinics, practices and the technology companies that serve them.

We help healthcare organizations meet HIPAA and Texas requirements, prepare for ransomware and get to the bottom of incidents quickly when they happen.

Healthcare

What healthcare organizations are dealing with

  • 01

    Ransomware

    An attack can divert ambulances, delay procedures and push staff back to paper. How fast you recover matters as much as prevention.

  • 02

    OCR enforcement

    The HHS Office for Civil Rights regularly settles cases where organizations could not show an accurate, current risk analysis.

  • 03

    Third-party risk

    Billing companies, EHR vendors and other business associates hold large amounts of patient data, and a breach at one vendor affects everyone downstream.

  • 04

    Connected medical devices

    Many devices run older operating systems that cannot be patched easily, so they need network controls and monitoring instead.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We are a small practice. Where should we start?

With a risk analysis, because it is both a HIPAA requirement and the best way to decide where to spend. For most small practices the biggest wins are MFA on email and remote access, tested backups kept offline and a simple plan for what to do if systems go down.
