Research data is your IP. Patient specimens are your responsibility. Instrument uptime is your revenue. We protect all three — HIPAA-aligned, auditor-ready — so your scientists do science, not security.
Most clinical and research labs have sophisticated scientific instruments — mass spectrometers, sequencing platforms, automated analyzers — running on Windows XP or embedded Linux with default passwords. These instruments connect to your LIS/LIMS, which connects to your EHR integrations, which exchange PHI with referring physicians.
That's not one attack surface. That's a chain of interconnected systems where the weakest link — often a 10-year-old instrument PC — gives attackers a path to protected health information.
Traditional IT companies don't understand lab workflows. HIPAA consultants understand compliance but not cybersecurity operations. You need both — integrated.
Lab instruments join your network but rarely get patched, scanned, or inventoried. Each one is an unmanaged endpoint with network access to PHI.
Competitors, nation-states, and insiders target unpublished research data. Your IP is worth more than credit card numbers — and your security probably treats them the same.
HIPAA Security Rule requires technical safeguards for ePHI. CLIA/CAP inspections increasingly check IT controls. Non-compliance = fines + accreditation risk.
A ransomware attack doesn't just encrypt files — it takes instruments offline. For a reference lab running 10,000+ tests daily, every hour of downtime is a financial and clinical emergency.
We segment instruments, LIS/LIMS servers, EHR gateways, and office workstations into separate security zones. Traffic between zones is monitored and logged. When a 15-year-old chemistry analyzer gets compromised, the attacker can't pivot to patient records.
Not a once-a-year checkbox exercise. We implement and maintain the technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule: access control, audit controls, integrity controls, person or entity authentication, and transmission security. Every month you get a compliance dashboard — always audit-ready, never scrambling.
Intellectual property — unpublished studies, proprietary methods, validation data — is protected with the same rigor as PHI. File integrity monitoring, access logging, and data loss prevention rules tailored to research workflows. Your unpublished data stays unpublished.
Beyond security: we monitor instrument workstations for performance issues, disk failures, and configuration drift. Backups are verified daily. In a ransomware event, instrument PCs can be restored from known-good images — minimizing the gap between "we're down" and "we're running samples again."
We understand lab environments — instruments, LIS/LIMS, PHI workflows, CLIA/CAP requirements. Co-managed security designed for labs, built on AI, priced for mid-size facilities.
