Healthcare
“In healthcare, cybersecurity is patient safety - disruption puts both data and lives at risk.”
Understanding Cybersecurity in Healthcare:
Healthcare organizations operate in one of the most high-risk cybersecurity environments in the world. Hospitals, clinics, and research institutions are constant ransomware targets because attackers know downtime can directly endanger patient safety. At the same time, electronic health records (EHRs), connected medical devices, and life sciences research data are attractive to both cybercriminals and nation-state actors. The challenge is compounded by strict privacy requirements such as HIPAA in the U.S., GDPR in Europe, and similar frameworks worldwide, all of which impose high penalties for non-compliance.
How We Support Healthcare Stakeholders:
We work with providers, regulators, and associations to close gaps between clinical operations and cyber resilience. Our team delivers governance frameworks that scale to both large healthcare systems and smaller providers, provides vCISO leadership for organizations that lack executive-level security expertise, and conducts specialized assessments of EHR platforms, connected devices, and third-party vendors. We also support compliance readiness across multiple regulatory regimes, helping healthcare institutions prove their security posture to auditors, funders, and patients alike.

Ransomware disrupting care and endangering patients
Breaches of highly sensitive health and genetic data
Non-compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, or local equivalents
