Our Core Defense approach includes advanced mobile device management (MDM) and encryption to ensure that mobile access to charts does not compromise the network. Potential threats from unmanaged devices are identified and isolated.

Yes. All healthcare clients are supported by a dedicated vCISO or vCIO who aligns technology decisions with clinical goals and budgets. Your advisor acts as a strategic partner who translates compliance requirements into operational strength.

Yes. Our solutions are designed to be highly scalable. As your organization adds new clinics or specialists, we provide the consistent performance and security levels needed to maintain a unified provider experience.

CompassMSP understands the urgency of patient care. We deliver security-first IT with real accountability and support built specifically around the unique compliance and high-availability needs of the medical industry.

Choosing a partner like Compass provides you with the deep technical bench and 24/7 resources of a national provider, combined with the personal attention of a local team. You get access to specialized experts in cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and compliance that smaller local shops simply cannot afford to maintain. Simultaneously, you benefit from a dedicated vCIO who understands your local market and visits your office for strategic planning. This "right-sized" model ensures you never have to choose between scale and service.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was enacted to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. It significantly expanded the scope of HIPAA privacy and security protections by increasing the legal liability for non-compliance and providing more enforcement authority to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Under HITECH, business associates are directly liable for compliance with many HIPAA rules, which is why CompassMSP maintains rigorous security protocols that protect both our partners and the patients they serve.

Yes. Scoping is the most critical phase of a HITRUST assessment because an improperly defined scope can lead to high costs or security gaps. Our vCISO and compliance teams work with your leadership to identify the specific systems, locations, and third-party relationships that handle sensitive data. By creating a precise inventory of your digital environment, we ensure that your HITRUST MyCSF assessment is right-sized for your operational footprint, reducing friction and ensuring that the most critical risks are prioritized.

CompassMSP has successfully guided healthcare organizations through the complex journey of becoming HITRUST compliant. We function as a strategic advisory partner, performing gap analyses and remediation oversight to ensure your infrastructure meets the 19 different domains required for certification. Our experience includes working with various medical entities to align their technical controls and administrative policies with the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF), providing a defensible posture that demonstrates a high standard of data protection to patients and insurers alike.

Our compliance and security teams actively monitor the evolving regulatory landscape to ensure our clients stay ahead of proposed changes to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. These updates often focus on improving patient access to health information and enhancing data sharing between providers. We are prepared to adjust your administrative safeguards and technical configurations to meet these new standards, ensuring that your practice remains compliant without disrupting the clinical workflows that your providers rely on every day.

A healthcare MSP is a managed service provider that supports the technology, cybersecurity, compliance, and infrastructure needs of healthcare organizations, with an understanding of clinical workflows, patient data protection, and HIPAA compliance.

Managed IT services for healthcare provide 24/7 helpdesk support, proactive monitoring, and cloud infrastructure management, plus optimization of EHR and EMR platforms and management of third-party vendors so clinical staff experience minimal downtime.

MSPs support HIPAA compliance by helping organizations identify risks, strengthen safeguards, document controls, and maintain audit readiness through risk assessments, gap assessments, policy support, monitoring, remediation, and vendor risk management.

Organizations can reduce EHR downtime through proactive monitoring, strong network management, backup and disaster recovery planning, endpoint protection, access controls, and clear incident response processes that protect clinical workflows.

A HIPAA Security Risk Assessment should evaluate risks to PHI and ePHI across systems, users, devices, applications, vendors, policies, and clinical workflows, and include risk analysis, gap assessments, documentation review, remediation planning, and audit readiness support.

Managed cybersecurity protects patient data through threat detection, vulnerability management, 24/7 monitoring, endpoint protection, email security, access controls, backup, and incident response, reducing the risk of unauthorized access, ransomware, and breaches.

Healthcare breaches cost millions per incident, and most growing practices cannot afford a full-time CISO. Our vCISO services provide executive-level guidance to prioritize investments, manage vendor risk, and build a defense posture that supports long-term stability.

Healthcare has the highest average data breach cost of any industry at $7.42 million, and the longest time to identify and contain a breach at 279 days, according to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report.

HIPAA is a federal law that sets the requirements for protecting PHI and ePHI. HITRUST is a certifiable framework that maps HIPAA and other standards to independently validated controls. HIPAA sets the legal floor, while HITRUST provides third-party validated proof.

Patient records are high-value on illicit markets, and healthcare often runs legacy systems and interconnected devices. The Verizon DBIR recorded 1,542 healthcare incidents with confirmed data disclosures in a single year.
