Giving a multi-site healthcare provider 24/7 detection and a tested ransomware plan

A provider with alerts nobody watched after hours and backups that had never been restore-tested needed round-the-clock detection and a defensible ransomware plan without hiring a night shift.

24/7

Detection and response coverage

< 15 min

Target time to acknowledge critical alerts

Tested

Restores proven on a recurring cadence

Representative engagement — A multi-site regional healthcare provider (anonymized). Details are anonymized and illustrative of how we work; outcomes are directional, not a claim about a specific named client.

The challenge

  • Security tooling generated alerts, but no one triaged them outside business hours — the window most ransomware actually detonates.
  • Backups existed but had never been restore-tested, and several copies sat on the same network an attacker could reach.
  • Leadership could not produce evidence that HIPAA Security Rule safeguards were actually operating, only that policies existed.

Our approach

  • Stood up 24/7 managed detection and response with documented escalation, tuned to the clinical applications and identity paths that matter.
  • Rebuilt backup around immutable, isolated copies with a real restore-test cadence and defined RPO/RTO per system.
  • Mapped controls to the HIPAA Security Rule and produced monthly evidence packs instead of a once-a-year scramble.

The outcome

  • After-hours alerts are now investigated and contained rather than discovered the next morning.
  • Recovery is a rehearsed procedure with proven restores, not a hope, and immutable copies survive an attacker with domain access.
  • Audit and cyber-insurance questionnaires are answered from evidence that is produced continuously.
