FAQ

Do you work with non-healthcare clients?

Yes. Many non-healthcare industries have regulations like HIPAA, SEC, PCI, FINRA and others. Although we have deep specialization in healthcare, if your business is serious about cybersecurity, let's talk.

How is Cyber Risk Management different than Cybersecurity?

Cyber Risk Management and Cybersecurity, while closely related, serve distinct roles in protecting your organization. Cybersecurity focuses on defending against and mitigating cyber threats and attacks to safeguard data and systems. It encompasses the tools, technologies, and practices used to protect digital assets. Cyber Risk Management, on the other hand, involves identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing risks to your digital assets and operations. It extends beyond immediate threats to consider the broader impact of potential cyber incidents on your business, incorporating strategies for risk avoidance, mitigation, transfer, and acceptance. Essentially, while cybersecurity is about protection and defense, Cyber Risk Management is about making informed decisions to manage and minimize overall risk to your organization.

What IT Care plans do you offer for healthcare practices?

How do you ensure compliance with healthcare regulations?

We can work with all of your 3rd party technology vendors because we act as your IT department and will handle everything on your behalf, so you can focus on patient care.

How do you protect healthcare practices from ransomware and other cyber threats?

To protect healthcare practices from ransomware and other cyber threats, we implement a multi-layered security strategy that emphasizes both prevention and rapid response. Our approach includes regular security risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities, the deployment of advanced malware and ransomware protection tools to block threats before they can infiltrate your systems, and continuous monitoring of your network for suspicious activity.

We also prioritize educating healthcare staff through comprehensive training programs on cybersecurity best practices, such as recognizing phishing attempts and safely handling patient data. This proactive stance on cybersecurity is complemented by our robust backup and disaster recovery plans, ensuring that, in the event of a security breach, your data is recoverable, and your practice can quickly return to normal operations.

What training do you provide for healthcare staff on cybersecurity best practices?

We recognize the critical role that healthcare staff play in maintaining the cybersecurity of a practice. To support this, we offer comprehensive training programs designed to educate your team on cybersecurity best practices and the latest threat landscapes. Our training covers a range of essential topics, including how to identify and respond to phishing attempts, the importance of strong password policies, secure handling of patient data, and adherence to healthcare-specific regulations like HIPAA.

Our approach is interactive and engaging, ensuring that staff not only understand the theoretical aspects of cybersecurity but also how to apply these practices in their daily work. We incorporate real-world examples and simulations to prepare your team for various scenarios they may encounter. Additionally, we provide ongoing support and updates on emerging cyber threats, ensuring your staff remains vigilant and informed.

Empowering your healthcare staff with this knowledge not only strengthens your practice's defense against cyber threats but also fosters a culture of security awareness that protects both your patients and your practice.
