Healthcare
Security monitoring for practices that hold patient records.
Dental groups, clinics, behavioral health practices, and medical billing companies. Small enough that security is somebody's second job, regulated as though it were somebody's first.
The problem
Regulated like a large organisation, staffed like a small one.
A practice of twenty people holds records that are worth more on a criminal market than a credit card, and is required to protect them to the same standard as a hospital. The Security Rule expects access controls, audit logging, and an incident response capability. Most practices we meet have an antivirus product, a backup they have never tested, and no way to answer what happened if a machine behaves strangely at midnight.
What we see
Three attacks that land here.
- 01
Email account takeover
A staff mailbox is phished, then used to redirect billing or to reach patient records. It is the most common way a small practice has a reportable breach.
- 02
Ransomware through remote access
An exposed remote desktop or an unpatched VPN gives an intruder a foothold out of hours, and the practice cannot see patients on Monday.
- 03
Business email compromise on payments
An attacker watching a mailbox intercepts an invoice or a payroll change and reroutes the money.
How we fit
What this looks like for a healthcare business.
The service is the same one every client gets. What changes is which evidence matters to you and who is going to ask for it.
- Every alert is reviewed by an analyst before it reaches you, because a practice manager cannot triage security alerts between patients.
- Identity monitoring across Microsoft 365, which is where most practice breaches begin.
- A monthly briefing and evidence package written so you can hand it to your insurer or put it in front of an auditor.
- Documented incident records, so if you ever have to assess whether an event is notifiable you have the facts rather than a guess.
Where to start
A 45 minute assessment, then a decision.
We review your identity, endpoint, email, and backup controls against what your insurer and your framework expect.
