HIPAA-Compliant IT
for Healthcare Organizations
PHI protection, EHR uptime, and audit-ready compliance — engineered by senior specialists who understand what a breach or outage means in healthcare.
Healthcare IT carries risks
most MSPs aren't equipped to handle
A misconfigured server isn't just a support ticket in healthcare — it's a potential OCR audit, a HIPAA violation, or a patient safety risk.
PHI Exposure Risk
Unencrypted backups, misconfigured access controls, and unmonitored endpoints put Protected Health Information at constant risk. The average healthcare breach costs $10.9M.
EHR & EMR Downtime
When your EHR goes down, clinical staff revert to paper, billing stops, and patient care suffers. Every minute of downtime has direct operational and liability consequences.
Audit Unpreparedness
OCR audits are unannounced. Without complete audit logs, documented BAAs, access reviews, and incident response plans, your organization is exposed. Most fail their first audit.
Ransomware Targeting
Healthcare is the #1 ransomware target. Attackers know that hospitals and clinics will pay to restore access to patient records. Without EDR and immutable backups, recovery is costly and slow.
HIPAA Compliance Engineering
We implement the technical controls required for HIPAA compliance — not just a checklist, but a fully documented, audit-ready security posture that survives OCR scrutiny.
- PHI encryption at rest and in transit (AES-256, TLS 1.3)
- Role-based access control & privileged access management
- Complete audit logging & log retention (6-year minimum)
- Business Associate Agreement (BAA) management
- Breach notification procedures & incident response plan
- Annual risk assessments & documented remediation
EHR & Clinical System Uptime
Clinical workflows depend on constant access to patient data. We monitor, protect, and maintain the systems your staff relies on — with zero tolerance for unplanned downtime.
- 24×7 EHR and EMR system monitoring
- Proactive alerting before failures reach clinical staff
- HL7/FHIR integration infrastructure management
- Disaster recovery with tested RTO/RPO under 4 hours
- Vendor coordination with Epic, Cerner, Meditech, athenahealth
Healthcare Security & Ransomware Defense
Hospitals and healthcare SaaS companies are prime ransomware targets. We deploy layered security controls specifically calibrated for healthcare threat models — before attackers strike, not after.
- CrowdStrike EDR on all endpoints including clinical workstations
- SIEM with healthcare-specific threat detection rules
- Immutable backups with air-gap isolation
- Network segmentation (clinical vs administrative vs guest)
- Vulnerability scanning & quarterly penetration testing
- Phishing simulation & security awareness training
Healthcare SaaS: HIPAA-Ready in 30 Days
A 150-person healthcare SaaS platform handling patient records for 40+ clinics needed to achieve HIPAA compliance before closing a Series B round.
- Failing HIPAA technical controls on 6 of 9 safeguard categories
- No audit logging — could not reconstruct access to PHI
- Third-party vendor BAAs undocumented or missing
- Investor due diligence deadline: 30 days
- Week 1: Full gap assessment against HIPAA Security Rule
- Week 2: Access controls, encryption, and audit logging deployed
- Week 3: BAA documentation, incident response plan, DR testing
- Week 4: Final evidence package and remediation sign-off
- HIPAA audit-ready in 28 days — 2 days ahead of deadline
- Series B closed on schedule
- 0 findings in follow-up OCR review
- Now on ongoing managed security retainer
"Their security audit uncovered vulnerabilities three previous vendors missed. Within 30 days, we went from failing compliance checks to being fully audit-ready. The Series B closed — PUGA Systems made that possible."
