Care Stays
Online.
Even When
It's Attacked.

Senior cybersecurity, infrastructure, and AI consulting for hospitals, health systems, payers, and digital health. We respond before ransomware shuts down the ER, and we build the program that keeps OCR off your back the rest of the year.

Why Healthcare Is Different

Patient Safety
Is The
Threat Model.

A ransomware hit in healthcare costs 9× more than the cross-industry average and routes patients to other ERs within hours. The threat surface is bigger than any other industry: EHR systems, legacy biomedical IoT, third-party clearinghouses, telehealth, patient portals, and vendor staff with elevated access. HIPAA Security Rule and HITRUST CSF turn every gap into a regulator's question.

Generic IT firms quote you the same EDR they sell to a law firm. We tune to healthcare-specific TTPs: clinical workflow phishing, EHR session hijacking, biomedical-device ransomware, business associate compromise.

Compliance We Map To

Audit-Ready Paperwork.

FAQs for
Healthcare
Buyers

Don't see your question? Just ask.

Are you a HIPAA Business Associate?

Yes. We sign a Business Associate Agreement at engagement kickoff for any work that touches PHI or PHI-adjacent systems. Our internal controls map to HITRUST e1 baseline and we can provide attestations on request.

We're mid-ransomware. How fast can you mobilize?

For active healthcare incidents we mobilize a senior IR lead within 1 hour and an extended team within 4 hours. We've kept emergency departments running during full encryption events and helped clinical leadership avoid OCR Wall-of-Shame outcomes.

Can you support an EPIC or Oracle Health (Cerner) environment?

Yes. We work with the EHR vendor's required architecture (Citrix front-end, Caché/InterSystems back-end, vendor-defined firewall rules) and add the security and resilience layers around it. We don't replace the EHR; we make sure it stays standing and segmented from the rest of the network.

We're a digital-health startup. Do we need HITRUST?

Increasingly yes. Major hospital systems require HITRUST CSF certification (typically i1 or r2) from any vendor that touches their data. We help startups achieve HITRUST without spending a year and seven figures. Most engagements run 16-24 weeks to first cert.
