The Growing Threat to Healthcare
The healthcare industry has become a prime target for cyberattacks. A recently published analysis demonstrates how 2023 witnessed a surge in security incidents that resulted in astronomical costs. This trend shows no signs of slowing down.
There is no dispute that the healthcare industry is being targeted consistently. The combination of a vulnerable healthcare system and high-value medical records data raises the urgency of investing in cybersecurity safeguards.
Our Approach to Cybersecurity
As a startup operating in this high-stakes environment, we understand the critical importance of safeguarding patient data.
To demonstrate our unwavering commitment to security and privacy, we’ve achieved HITRUST (r2) and SOC 2 Type II certifications, with an extended focus on HIPAA compliance. This approach has enabled us to build a fortified security and privacy framework capable of meeting regulatory demands and proactively building on top of it advanced new security solutions and practices, establishing our company line of defense against emerging cyber threats.
We’ve invested heavily in developing a comprehensive, robust defense based on fundamental concepts like an advanced risk management program, an extensive incident response plan, defense-in-depth solutions, in-depth data governance, and more.
We did it by:
- Planning against risks and prioritizing by actual business impact.
- Having a dedicated, experienced team capable of handling incident response, executing compliance requirements, and the ability to adjust to and adapt to constantly changing security trends.
- Implementing leading market security solutions and building layers based on a defense-in-depth concept that keeps us proactively looking for threats and remediating them in advance. Working closely with emerging cyber security technologies in cloud data governance, cloud infrastructure security, and more, such as DSPM, CNAPP, ASPM, etc.
By doing so, we can rapidly detect and respond to suspicious activities, such as unauthorized data access or breaches.
And the list goes on and on….
Conclusion
Protecting patient data is not merely a compliance requirement; it’s a fundamental responsibility. Our tireless commitment to security and privacy is at the core of everything we do.
By combining security and privacy compliance standards and integrating advanced security practices like phishing and incident response drills, constant awareness communication, and robust data governance programs into our daily processes, we are building a strong foundation for the future of US healthcare.
We understand that we’re not doing security; we’re living it.
