Cybersecurity for healthcare practices
Protect patient data and keep the practice running with MFA, access reviews, encrypted devices, tested backups, and ransomware readiness.
Healthcare practices are frequent ransomware targets because downtime directly affects patient care, and patient records are valuable to criminals. Many independent practices rely on a few shared accounts, unencrypted laptops, and backups nobody has tested.
We assess the practice's exposure and implement practical safeguards, including MFA on email and remote access, individual accounts with least-privilege access, encrypted devices, patched systems, backups that restore, and an incident response plan. Controls are documented to support the practice's security risk assessment and policies.
Things to keep in mind
- Your practice remains responsible for its HIPAA compliance. We implement and document technical safeguards.
- Vendors that handle patient information need appropriate agreements in place.
- Plan changes around clinic hours to avoid disrupting care.
How it works
Assess
Review accounts, devices, network, backups, and vendors that touch patient data.
Secure access
Give everyone individual accounts with MFA and remove shared logins.
Protect data
Encrypt devices and backups and segment the network.
Prepare to recover
Test restores and rehearse the incident response plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do you perform the HIPAA security risk assessment?
We assess and document technical safeguards that feed into it. The practice and its compliance adviser own the formal assessment.
Where should a small practice start?
Individual accounts with MFA, encrypted devices, tested backups, and staff phishing awareness.
