- Endpoint protection and 24/7 threat detection across all devices
- Multi-factor authentication and ongoing vulnerability management
- Email encryption, spam filtering, and phishing defense training
- Encrypted, immutable data backups protected from ransomware
- Continuous security monitoring with regular reporting
What You Get
A single data breach can mean regulatory fines, lawsuits, and lost patient trust. Strong cybersecurity is not optional for healthcare practices, it's essential.
Why It Matters
Check Your Risk
FREE ASSESSMENT
Two ways to see where you stand right now. Use the free Ransomware Readiness Scorecard below for an instant score across prevention, detection, recovery, and response, no email required. It takes about five minutes and shows exactly where your practice's biggest gaps are, so you know what to fix first. You can also download the Ransomware & Incident Response Guide for Healthcare Practices below
Backup and Disaster Recovery for Patient Records
Offline, ransomware-resistant backups with tested recovery times, so a breach or outage doesn't mean losing patient data for good.
What You Get
• Automated, encrypted backups stored offline from your production systems
• Regular test restores to confirm recovery actually works
• Defined recovery time objectives for your critical patient data
• A documented recovery plan your team can follow under pressure
Why It Matters
Ransomware Targets Backups First. Isolated, Tested Backups Are What Let You Recover Without Paying A Ransom Or Losing Patient Records.
Services Snapshot
Endpoint Protection & 24/7 Threat Detection
Real-time monitoring and defense across every device on your network, so a threat gets caught and stopped before it can spread to patient systems.
What You Get
• Modern endpoint detection and response (EDR) on every workstation, laptop, and server
• 24/7 monitoring with automated alerts on suspicious activity
• Rapid isolation of any device showing signs of compromise
• Regular device health checks to catch gaps before they're exploited
Why It Matters
Most Breaches Start On A Single Device. Continuous Endpoint Monitoring Catches The Threat There, Before It Reaches Your EHR Or Patient Data.
Multi-Factor Authentication & Vulnerability Management
Locked-down access to every account, paired with an ongoing process to find and close the security gaps attackers look for first.
What You Get
• Multi-factor authentication required on email, remote access, and admin accounts
•Routine vulnerability scans across your network and systems
•A regular patching schedule so known software flaws get fixed, not left open
•Access reviews to make sure only the right people hold admin-level permissions
Why It Matters
Stolen Passwords And Unpatched Software Are The Two Most Common Ways Attackers Get In. Closing Both Removes Their Easiest Path.
Email Encryption & Phishing Defense
Layered email protection combined with staff training, so the phishing attempt that slips through a filter doesn't slip past your team too.
What You Get
• Email encryption for messages containing patient or billing information
• Spam and malicious attachment filtering before messages reach the inbox
• Periodic phishing simulations to test and sharpen staff awareness
• A clear, no-blame process for reporting a suspicious email or click
• A generic template SRA will not hold up to an OCR audit. Ours is built from what is actually running in your practice.
Why It Matters
Phishing Is Still The Number One Way Ransomware Gets In. A Well-Trained Team Is As Important As Any Filter.
Encrypted, Immutable Data Backups
Offline, ransomware-resistant backups with tested recovery times, so a breach or outage doesn't mean losing patient data for good.
What You Get
•Automated, encrypted backups stored offline from your production systems
•Regular test restores to confirm recovery actually works
•Defined recovery time objectives for your critical patient data
•A documented recovery plan your team can follow under pressure
Why It Matters
Ransomware Targets Backups First. Isolated, Tested Backups Are What Let You Recover Without Paying A Ransom Or Losing Patient Records.
Continuous Security Monitoring & Reporting
Ongoing visibility into your practice's security posture, so risks get flagged and fixed before they turn into an incident, not after.
What You Get
-
Around-the-clock monitoring of your network, systems, and critical accounts
-
Regular reporting that shows your security status in plain language
-
Early warning on unusual activity, misconfigurations, or emerging risks
-
A clear record of your security posture for audits, insurance, and compliance needs
Why It Matters
What Isn't Monitored Can't Be Caught In Time. Continuous Visibility Is What Turns A Near-Miss Into A Non-Event.
Who This Is For
We build HIPAA compliant services around the way your practice actually runs. Behavioral Health Practices, Dental Offices, Med Spas, Home Healthcare and Urgent Care each have their own page with specifics for your systems and workflows.
FAQ
How quickly could my practice recover from a ransomware attack?
It depends on how your backups are set up. With offline, tested backups and a documented recovery plan, most practices can restore critical systems within hours, not days. That's exactly what we build and verify before you ever need it.
Do we need cybersecurity if we already have basic antivirus software?
Basic antivirus alone isn't enough for healthcare practices. Attackers specifically target the gaps it misses, unpatched software, weak passwords, and phishing emails. Layered protection with 24/7 monitoring, MFA, and tested backups closes those gaps antivirus can't.
What happens to patient data if we get hit with ransomware?
Without proper safeguards, ransomware can encrypt or lock access to patient records, disrupting care and triggering HIPAA breach notification requirements. With immutable backups and a rehearsed response plan, you can recover your data without paying a ransom and limit the impact on your practice.
