Information security is critical to healthcare organizations as it directly relates to patient trust in your organization, your organization's reputation, and has enormous legal liability if compromised. Data breaches containing electronic patient healthcare information (ePHI) have affected millions of customer records in the last 18 months alone. It's not just best practice anymore to protect patient information, it is a legal requirement by HIPAA - The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Sharing that data with other hospitals and healthcare providers, insurance companies, and business partners such as manufacturers and suppliers is a challenge since each may have varying standards in their security practices.
Creative Breakthroughs, Inc. (CBI) provides hospitals and healthcare organizations with a proactive strategy to effectively manage sensitive patient information by developing a security program to meet your specific organization's goals and regulatory and competence needs. We primarily help healthcare organizations with Network Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing. We also specialize in the development of security policies and procedures to help you meet HIPAA mandates that require healthcare organizations to maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of patient health information.
Our consulting services are available to assist you in all aspects of the security life-cycle: planning, specifications, design, installation, deployment, integration, operations, support, testing, policy development and compliance reporting. We can do application security testing from both an external and internal perspective. We typically conduct these tests from both an informed and uniformed perspective to give a healthcare organization a better understanding of their weaknesses and potential threats from both insiders and from those without specific knowledge of their systems. Our consultants use a proven, mature testing methodology to ensure the most comprehensive assessments using the most up-to-date tools and techniques for identification of vulnerabilities.
Even today, many healthcare organization still fail to plan adequately for disaster recovery. With hospitals and other providers increasingly dependent on technology for their critical data, it is imperative that they develop a disaster recovery plan.
Let us guide the process so that you can keep your organization up and running in the face of unplanned interruptions.
