Healthcare Cybersecurity Services

Ransomware remains the top threat, with groups like ALPHV/BlackCat and LockBit specifically targeting healthcare for its high-value data and operational urgency. Phishing and business email compromise targeting financial and administrative staff are the primary initial access vectors. Connected medical devices with outdated firmware, third-party vendor compromises, and insider threats round out the most critical risks for healthcare organizations in the DFW area and nationwide.

HIPAA’s Security Rule mandates administrative safeguards (risk assessments, workforce training, access management), physical safeguards (facility access controls, workstation security), and technical safeguards (access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, transmission security). The proposed 2026 updates add mandatory encryption, network segmentation, multi-factor authentication, and vulnerability scanning at minimum every six months. Non-compliance can result in fines from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums of $1.5 million per category.

We recommend annual penetration testing at minimum, with additional testing after deploying new patient-facing applications, integrating new medical devices, or making significant infrastructure changes. Organizations with higher risk profiles or those subject to PCI DSS (for payment processing) should test more frequently. The proposed HIPAA Security Rule updates may mandate vulnerability assessments every six months, making regular testing essential for compliance.

Immediately activate your incident response plan: contain the breach, preserve evidence, and assess the scope of affected ePHI. Under HIPAA, breaches affecting 500 or more individuals must be reported to HHS OCR and affected individuals within 60 days. Texas law requires additional notification to the state attorney general. Our managed SOC and incident response services help healthcare organizations detect breaches faster, contain them effectively, and manage the notification process to minimize regulatory exposure.

We serve healthcare organizations of all sizes across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex — from solo practices and dental offices in McKinney to multi-location hospital systems and specialty clinics. HIPAA requirements apply equally regardless of organization size. Our services scale to your needs and budget, and our CyberOne platform provides enterprise-grade security tools accessible to practices of any size.
