Cybersecurity & HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare
Protect patient data, ensure regulatory compliance, and defend against ransomware. SecureSystems helps healthcare providers, health tech companies, and life sciences organizations secure their most sensitive data.
Why Healthcare Is a Prime Target
Patient data is worth more than credit cards on the dark web.
HIPAA Compliance: Guide hold the most valuable data criminals want — medical records, Social Security numbers, insurance information, and payment data all in one place. A single patient record can sell for 10-20x the value of a credit card number on the dark web.
Add in complex IT environments, legacy systems, life-critical operations, and strict regulatory requirements, and healthcare becomes the most challenging — and most important — industry to protect. SecureSystems brings specialized healthcare security expertise to help you defend patient data and stay compliant.
Protect Patient Data
PHI breaches trigger OCR investigations, class action lawsuits, and devastating reputation damage. Prevention is critical.
Stay HIPAA Compliant
Avoid OCR penalties up to $1.5M per violation category. Our programs ensure you meet all HIPAA requirements.
Defend Against Ransomware
Healthcare is the #1 ransomware target. We help you prevent attacks and recover quickly if the worst happens.
Threats Facing Healthcare Organizations
Know what you’re defending against.
Ransomware Attacks
Healthcare is the most targeted industry for ransomware. Attackers know hospitals can’t afford downtime and often pay to restore patient care systems.
PHI Data Breaches
Protected Health Information is gold to criminals — medical identity theft, insurance fraud, and extortion all follow breaches of patient data.
Medical Device Vulnerabilities
Connected medical devices often run outdated software with known vulnerabilities. Compromised devices can affect patient safety.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Healthcare staff are prime phishing targets. Credential theft leads to unauthorized EHR access and data exfiltration.
Insider Threats
Employees with access to patient records can cause breaches through curiosity, negligence, or malice. Access controls are essential.
Third-Party Vendor Risk
EHR vendors, billing services, and telehealth platforms create supply chain risks. Business Associate breaches are your problem too.

Healthcare Security FAQ
Common questions from healthcare organizations.
What is a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment?
A Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is required by HIPAA. It identifies threats and vulnerabilities to ePHI, evaluates current safeguards, and prioritizes remediation. OCR expects covered entities to conduct an SRA at least annually.
Do we need HITRUST or is HIPAA enough?
HIPAA is the legal requirement. HITRUST is a certification that demonstrates comprehensive security — increasingly required by health systems and payers when evaluating vendors. If you’re selling to enterprise healthcare, HITRUST opens doors.
What are HIPAA penalties?
OCR can impose penalties from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums up to $1.5M per violation category. Willful neglect violations can result in criminal charges. State attorneys general can also pursue enforcement.
How do you secure telehealth platforms?
We help telehealth companies achieve HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 certification, and HITRUST. This includes secure video infrastructure, access controls, encryption, audit logging, and Business Associate Agreement management.
What about medical device security?
Connected medical devices often have unique vulnerabilities. We help with device inventory, vulnerability assessment, network segmentation, and patch management strategies that balance security with clinical operations.
How long does HIPAA compliance take?
For most organizations, achieving baseline compliance takes 8-12 weeks. This includes risk assessment, policy development, and training. HITRUST certification adds 4-6 months. Compliance is ongoing — not a one-time project.
