Network Security Service Providers for Senior Healthcare

1. Protection of Sensitive Data:

If you store customer data, private information, or take credit cards, network security is no longer an option, but a necessity. Not to mention if you must adhere to HIPAA, SOC, or any other regulations, you need a team that understands these requirements and a team that can provide the pieces necessary to keep you compliant.

Personal Information:
Senior Living Communities store a wealth of personal information about residents, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and health records. This data is highly valuable to cybercriminals who can use it for identity theft, fraud, and other malicious activities.

Healthcare Data:
If the facility provides healthcare services, it handles sensitive medical records that are subject to strict privacy regulations like HIPAA. A breach of this data can have severe legal and reputational consequences.

2. Prevention of Disruptions:

These days, hackers, attackers, and even automated web bots are all trying to gain access to your network and ultimately access your private patient and business information. When successful, the attackers can lock down your data, or worse they can release your patient information to the world.

With the sheer number of security threats faced by companies, it is important to evaluate the vulnerabilities that may affect your business. Lost revenues due to downtime or large fines due to data breaches may not be an option and could affect the overall health of the organization.

Ransomware Attacks:
Cybercriminals often target Healthcare Organizations, including Senior Living Communities, with ransomware attacks. These attacks can encrypt critical systems, disrupt operations, and demand a ransom for data recovery.

Network Outages:
A compromised network can lead to disruptions in essential services, such as communication, medical equipment, and access control systems. This can jeopardize the safety and well-being of residents.

Internal Threats:

Not only is it necessary to protect a network from outside threats but internal threats can also be a huge vulnerability. Part of a thorough network security plan is ensuring that employees are using best practices and are educated on their role in keeping the network safe.

3. Compliance with Regulations:

HIPAA:
If the facility provides healthcare services, it must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which sets strict standards for protecting patient health information.

Data Security Regulations:
Depending on the jurisdiction, the facility may also be subject to other data privacy and security regulations.
