HHS performance goal scorecard
Each site scored on the 10 essential and 10 enhanced goals, with gaps ranked by patient impact.
The Problem
When Ransomware Hits, the Clinic Stops Seeing Patients
The gap shows up when a site goes back to paper charts or a hosted vendor's outage stops claims. It also shows up when a hospital partner asks which HHS performance goals you meet.
Restores
Nobody knows how long restoring the EHR server takes.
Restores
A restore of one critical system is timed, and the result goes into the plan.
Site habits
Each clinic sets up logins and laptops its own way.
Site habits
Every site meets one baseline built on the essential HHS performance goals.
Vendor risk
Hosted vendors holding patient data weren't asked about security.
Vendor risk
Each vendor gets written security requirements and an incident reporting term.
Downtime
The paper fallback lives in one manager's head.
Downtime
Downtime procedures are written with clinical leads and kept at every site.
At 6 a.m. the EHR at one of your clinics won't load, and the front desk starts writing appointments on paper. Nobody knows when a backup was last restored, or how long a restore takes. Your newest site still shares one login for the PACS viewer, and the billing mailbox has no MFA. The vendor hosting your patient portal hasn't been asked about its own security. Every site does it differently. Then a hospital partner asks which HHS performance goals you meet.
We start by scoring every site against the 10 essential and 10 enhanced HPH Cybersecurity Performance Goals that HHS published. Then we close the essential goals first: MFA, email security, separate admin accounts, same-day leaver removal, and patching for known exploited flaws. We time a real restore of a critical system and write EHR downtime procedures your clinical leads sign off. Every site ends up meeting one standard, and you can show it.
All 20 HHS goals scored
Every site measured against the essential and enhanced performance goals, with gaps ranked.
Restores timed, not assumed
A real restore of a critical system, timed, so downtime plans use real numbers.
Downtime plans clinicians use
Paper workflows for registration, orders, and medications for when the EHR is unreachable.
Our Healthcare Cybersecurity Services Process
From Site Review to a Scored, Tested Security Program in Five Steps
You approve the scope and the change windows, and your clinical leads sign off the downtime procedures before they reach any site or partner.
We ask how many sites you run, which EHR and PACS systems you use, and who hosts them. You leave the call with a scope outline, and a fixed price follows in writing. If HHS's free 405(d) resources fit your size, we'll say so first.
What's Included
What You Get With Healthcare Cybersecurity Solutions

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Healthcare Organizations Trust Us With Patient-Facing Systems
Healthcare cybersecurity services touch systems clinicians need every minute. These habits keep care running while the work happens, and keep patient data where it belongs.
Clinical hours come first
We schedule MFA rollouts, restores, and network changes outside clinic hours and on-call peaks. A security change shouldn't slow a patient check-in.
We review settings, not charts
Our work uses configuration, logs, and access lists, not patient records. When a test needs real data, your staff run it while we observe.
Clinicians sign off downtime plans
Downtime procedures are written with the nurses and front desk staff who would use them. Plans that only IT understands fail on the first paper day.
HIPAA duties stay with you
Security Rule duties belong to you as the covered entity or business associate. We set up controls and evidence, and your privacy officer or counsel decides compliance questions.
One page per site for leaders
Leadership gets a single page for each site: the gaps, the patient impact, and the decision needed. Every acronym on it gets a plain explanation.
Fixed price by site count
You get one fixed price for the sites and systems in scope. Adding a clinic later gets its own quote before any work starts.

Good fit
Multi-site clinic groups
Your group added 3 clinics in 2 years, each with its own IT habits, and you need one security standard that every site meets.
Health tech vendors selling to providers
Your hospital customers send security questionnaires and BAAs, and you need cybersecurity for healthcare providers' demands answered with real controls.
Surgery, imaging, and specialty centers
Your center can't stop for an outage, and you need downtime procedures that still work when the EHR or PACS is unreachable.
Home health and behavioral health agencies
Your clinicians work from cars and homes on tablets, and you need healthcare cybersecurity solutions that protect patient data outside the clinic.
Healthcare IT teams stretched thin
Your 2-person IT team runs everything, and you want healthcare cybersecurity consulting that ranks the next 90 days instead of a report nobody reads.
Not a fit
One practice, daily safeguards
You run a single medical practice and need its daily safeguards set up room by room. Our cybersecurity for medical practices page covers that work.
Need risk analysis and BAAs
You need the documented HIPAA risk analysis, policies, and business associate agreements. Our HIPAA compliance services page covers that paperwork.
Hospital with a security team
You're a hospital with your own security operations staff and need hands-on medical device testing. A firm that tests devices on your network is the better first call.
Budget under $1,000
You want a first look before spending $1,000. HHS's free 405(d) resources and the published performance goals are a good place to start.

Healthcare cybersecurity is the protection of the systems, data, and devices that patient care depends on, from EHRs and imaging to billing and patient portals. It covers availability as well as privacy, because a locked EHR delays care as surely as a leaked record harms a patient. HHS's HPH Cybersecurity Performance Goals give the sector a shared starting list.
Because an outage in healthcare stops care, not just work. When ransomware locks an EHR, clinics divert patients, delay procedures, and fall back to paper. Patient records also carry insurance and identity details that criminals sell. Good cybersecurity in healthcare keeps that data private and keeps clinical systems available when staff need them.
Because compliance covers paperwork, while attackers test your actual systems. HIPAA sets the duty to protect patient data, but hospital partners, cyber insurers, and patients judge you on whether care keeps running. HHS published its voluntary performance goals for that reason: they focus on the controls that stop common attacks, such as MFA and email security.
Healthcare combines valuable data with a low tolerance for downtime, so attackers expect victims to pay quickly. Many organizations also run older systems and medical devices that are hard to patch. Add the vendors with remote access to clinical systems, and an attacker has several ways in and a strong reason to expect a ransom.
The main benefits are fewer outages, faster recovery, and easier partner and insurer reviews. Timed restores and written downtime procedures turn a crisis into a planned paper day. A scored set of HHS goals also shows hospital partners and cyber insurers where you stand, which shortens questionnaires and can make renewals smoother.
Our healthcare cybersecurity services start at $1,000 for scoring up to 2 sites against all 20 HHS goals, with one timed restore. Putting the essential goals and downtime procedures in place for up to 5 sites costs $2,700. Networks of up to 10 sites that add the enhanced goals, segmentation, and logging start at $5,400.
Start by scoring every site against the HHS essential goals, then fix gaps in order of patient impact. MFA, email security, and leaver removal usually come first, followed by restore testing and downtime procedures. Enhanced goals such as segmentation and central logging come next. Scoring takes 2 to 3 weeks, and a full program takes 6 to 10 weeks.
Focus on the few controls that stop most attacks, and skip tools nobody will run. Turn on MFA everywhere, patch the flaws on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list first, separate admin accounts, and remove leavers the same day. Then test one restore and write downtime steps. A 2-person IT team can keep that running week to week.
You mitigate them before they start and contain them fast when they do. Before: segment clinical networks, keep an offline or immutable backup copy, and rehearse downtime. During: disconnect affected devices but leave them powered on for evidence, switch sites to paper, call your cyber insurer's hotline, and reset credentials from clean devices.
They fall into three groups: EHR and device makers with built-in security features, managed providers that monitor healthcare networks, and advisory firms that build programs. Healthcare cybersecurity companies worth shortlisting know clinical workflows, downtime planning, and the HHS goals. We're an advisory and implementation firm, working alongside your EHR vendor and IT provider, with 30 days of support after handover.
