All Healthcare providers regardless of size or location can be targets for hackers. Patient records contain valuable information such as names, birth dates, social security numbers, addresses, names of family members, email addresses, and credit card information. Not only can a breach of this Protected Healthcare Information (PHI) result in regulatory penalties from Health and Human Services and the Office of Civil Rights, but also in additional expenses such as forensic and recovery costs, legal fees, and public relations costs.
To add insult to your already injured bottom line, this data is often sold on the dark-web for identity theft purposes. A single breach of your PHI will have devastating impact on patient trust, the average healthcare cybersecurity attack results in the practice having to shut-down for 7+ days and costs often exceed $100,000+. Your IT company cannot guide you through such a breach nor can they help prevent a HIPAA incident in most cases.
