Healthcare
HIPAA-aware IT that helps secure patient data, evaluate Business Associate Agreement requirements, and keep clinical and administrative systems running reliably.
Healthcare IT risks that carry real regulatory consequences
HIPAA Security Rule gaps: HIPAA violations can result in corrective action, settlements, or civil monetary penalties. Penalty amounts depend on the circumstances and are periodically adjusted.
EHR and EMR access control: Ensuring patient records are only accessed by authorized personnel, with full audit logging.
Medical device network exposure: IoT-connected devices that can serve as entry points for attackers if not properly segmented.
Clinical system availability: Downtime directly impacts patient care — any IT failure has an immediate human cost, not just a financial one.
