Protecting Patient Privacy
Cybersecurity and Compliance for Hospitals, Clinics, and Businesses Serving the Healthcare Industry
Pratum leads healthcare and life sciences organizations to compliance with state and federal security and privacy regulations. We’ve worked with CMS officials on numerous projects, and we’ll help you secure Protected Health Information (PHI) in accordance with HIPAA, HITECH and HITRUST frameworks. But a truly mature security posture requires more than compliance. We’ll identify where you’ll need to go beyond HIPAA and other frameworks to ensure information security for your entire organization and your employees.

Why Healthcare Security Matters
In healthcare, lives literally rely upon dependable technology. From web-enabled medical devices to cloud storage of patient records, new tools have introduced both efficiencies and vulnerabilities. Pratum helps organizations strengthen their confidence in these key areas:
Patient Safety
Patients and their families depend upon your team (and its IT environment) to provide the required care.
Availability
In healthcare, downtime is not an option. A strong security program helps keep systems online at all times.
Compliance
Pratum consultants use their deep experience in multiple frameworks to identify cost-effective ways to meet your obligations.
Business Impact
By detecting and stopping attempted infiltrations, a mature security program helps prevent data loss, service interruption and legal exposure.
Efficiency
Services such as risk assessments and IT audits help your team understand its environment and effectively manage activities such as employee onboarding/offboarding, software updates, etc
