The challenge

Healthcare ransomware attacks had become a board-level concern. The health system’s controls satisfied HIPAA but not the demonstrably ransomware-ready posture insurers + boards now expect.

What we built

Unified cybersecurity programme — SecOps for response, GRC for HIPAA + HITRUST control evidence, immutable backups validated quarterly, network-segmentation hardening. Cross-functional IR team trained on ransomware-specific playbooks.

Outcomes

Ransomware RTO: under 4h for crown jewels
Quarterly recovery validation: in place
Cyber-insurance premium: down 32% on demonstrable controls
