MediCare Solutions needed to secure sensitive patient data and achieve HIPAA compliance to avoid regulatory penalties. Facing frequent phishing attacks, they engaged AlphaTwelve for vulnerability assessments, threat monitoring, penetration testing, and incident response planning. Our objective was to eliminate security gaps and ensure compliance within 3 months. The project also included employee training to prevent future threats.
Challenge & Solution
Challenge: 10 monthly phishing attacks exposed 5% of patient data, risking $100,000 in HIPAA fines and 20% client loss ($2M revenue).
Solution: Deployed AI-driven threat monitoring, conducted rigorous testing, and implemented HIPAA-compliant controls with comprehensive staff training.
Our Process
Ran a 3-day vulnerability assessment, identifying 50+ high-risk gaps (e.g., unpatched servers, weak passwords).
Deployed CrowdStrike Falcon for 24/7 SIEM, detecting 95% of threats in real-time.
Conducted quarterly penetration tests, simulating phishing and ransomware to strengthen defenses.
Implemented HIPAA controls (e.g., AES-256 encryption, MFA) and documented for audits.
Trained 200 employees over 2 weeks on phishing awareness and security protocols.
Developed an incident response playbook with 2-hour containment SLAs, tested monthly.
Result Driven
Reduced phishing incidents by 90% (1/month), achieved full HIPAA compliance, avoided $100,000 in fines, and retained 98% of clients. MediCare saved $1.5M in potential losses and reported a 25% increase in stakeholder confidence.
