A breach of Protected Health Information can result in serious financial consequences, loss of patient trust, and burdensome remediation efforts for your organization. Yet the regulatory and compliance requirements for the healthcare industry continue to expand rapidly and it can be difficult for even the best IT teams to keep up with the latest requirements and solutions for meeting those mandates.
Our Managed Security Services for Healthcare are designed to assist healthcare delivery organizations in meeting HIPAA standards, including those imposed under HITECH. If your organization also requires compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) Common Security Framework (CSF), Our Managed Security Services deliver essential capabilities for meeting those standards.
Whether based in our cloud or in your premises, our Managed Security Services provide a comprehensive, multilayered approach to network security that helps protect your systems and patient data while maintaining security compliance. Our Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings work together as a security best practice to reduce the risks associated with blended network attacks, as well as to coordinate security alerting, logging, reporting, compliance, and response activity.
Security Services to Address HIPAA Technical Safeguards
Our Security Services incorporate comprehensive Unified Threat Management (UTM) services that address many of the technical safeguards defined in the HIPAA rules. Our UTM services include Advanced Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Antivirus, Web Filtering, Anti-spam, Web Application Control, and Data Leak Prevention. All of our UTM services can be fully implemented in the cloud, on your premises, or in a hybrid configuration to provide defense-in-depth security.
Security and Process Monitoring Based on Best Practices
Healthcare organizations need to rigorously monitor the security of their networks and host systems from a regulatory perspective, and from the perspective of security best practices. Your team also needs to continuously identify and assess new IT threats and vulnerabilities to stay ahead of security risks.
We offer several managed solutions to support these efforts including Managed Logging with real-time log review, File Integrity Monitoring for servers and critical endpoints, and Vulnerability Scanning Services to evaluate the effectiveness of your existing security controls.
Additionally, we offer a portal-based Security Information Management platform that allows you to track remediation activities, correlate and report on suspicious activities, and produce audit reports to demonstrate due diligence for running an effective information security program.
A Cost Effective Solution for EMR Transition
Conversion to EMR/EHR systems means that many healthcare organizations do not have the expertise or resources to manage the new security concerns that go along with digitized records. And after making the associated large capital expenditure necessary to modernize IT systems and networks, it is important to control ongoing costs.
Our Managed Security Services help to address these security and cost concerns. Security for the EMR/EHR systems and network connections is managed around-the-clock by our network experts. And with a comprehensive, outsourced solution, you can easily plan for ongoing network security costs.
