HIPAA Compliance Is Not Security.

Ransomware groups specifically target healthcare organizations that rely on compliance checklists because those checklists miss the operational security gaps attackers actually exploit. Healthcare is the number one targeted sector, with average breach costs exceeding $10 million. If your compliance program ends with a checklist, your practice is exposed. I provide NIST CSF 2.0 governance for Hudson Valley medical groups, telehealth providers, and healthcare organizations — going beyond HIPAA to build defensible security programs. Your MSP keeps your systems running, but who governs the security program? A fractional CISO provides strategic risk oversight, policy governance, vendor accountability, and compliance alignment that your MSP is not designed to deliver. Telehealth has expanded your attack surface with unmanaged devices, video platform vulnerabilities, remote patient data access, and third-party integrations. The NIST CSF 2.0 GOVERN function addresses what HIPAA checklists miss: risk ownership, policy oversight, supply chain governance, and continuous improvement. Services include HIPAA security risk assessments, telehealth security architecture review, business associate agreement governance, incident response planning, workforce security training, and continuous compliance monitoring.
