When it comes to needing a strong cybersecurity program, don’t overlook the opportunity that the healthcare industry presents. There is a market here that MSPs should be focused on as a way to grow their business.
Why Focus Here?
Healthcare continually remains one of the largest targeted industries for cybercriminals. The payoff for a data breach in healthcare is high given the value of patient health data. The difference between responding to a hacker can mean life and death – not to mention the hefty HIPAA fines that can go along with a data breach.
Is HIPAA the Same as Cybersecurity?
There may be confusion around the difference in what a HIPAA program is, and how it relates to cybersecurity. Compliance with HIPAA rules and regulations is heavily dependent on a strong cybersecurity program. But they are not the same thing.
If a healthcare business is not adhereing to a strong cybersecurity program, they likely have security gaps that provide points of access for a cybercriminal. Cybersecurity is part of a HIPAA compliant program.
Identify Risk
Conducting an annual Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is part of a your client offering. In healthcare, an SRA is required. This can act as a conversation starter for potential new clients that are in healthcare, or as a way to grow your existing clients that work in the industry.
