The Challenge
A regional healthcare group failed a HIPAA security audit with 7 critical findings — including no active monitoring, no MFA on clinical systems, unencrypted devices, and gaps in audit logging. They had 90 days to remediate before risking significant fines and potential loss of payer contracts.
