Healthcare has been the most attacked industry on the internet for 14 years running, and the cost of weak cybersecurity keeps climbing. That is the real case for serious healthcare cybersecurity services. The four data points below show what US healthcare organizations are paying right now, in money, time, and patient trust.
| Stat | What it means |
|---|---|
| $7.42M | Average cost of a healthcare data breach in 2025 the highest average breach cost among industries for the 14th consecutive year. |
| 97% | Organizations reporting an AI-related security incident that lacked proper AI access controls. |
| 63% | Organizations that lacked AI governance policies to manage AI risks or prevent shadow AI. |
| $1.9M | Average breach-cost savings associated with extensive use of AI in security compared with organizations that did not use these solutions. |
These figures highlight the need for stronger healthcare cybersecurity to protect patient data and reduce breach risks. IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025
Our approach towards healthcare cybersecurity services is centered on identifying and mitigating risk factors, while our Healthcare cybersecurity solutions help address these risks before clinical operations are affected.
Bacancy covers the full security lifecycle, from risk assessment to ongoing threat monitoring. Our Healthcare security services support HIPAA environments, FDA-regulated devices, and critical clinical workflows.
We provide Healthcare Cybersecurity Services to find weak points before an attacker does, across applications, cloud workloads, APIs, connected devices, AI systems, and vendor connections. Where the fix needs structural change, our healthcare IT consulting team helps you sequence it. Every finding is scored on technical severity and clinical impact.
OCR’s third phase of HIPAA audits is active and focused on risk analysis, which is where most documentation is thinnest. We assess your controls against HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, HITECH, the HHS Cybersecurity Performance Goals, and NIST. See our HIPAA compliance services for the full program.
PHI leaks at the handoffs, not usually at the front door. We combine encryption, tokenization, masking, and DLP so Patient data protection stays protected through intake, storage, sharing, and disposal. That includes backups, logs, and the healthcare data analytics platforms where production records end up in a query result.
Annual testing satisfies an auditor, not an attacker. Our healthcare software testing services combine automated scanning with hands-on exploitation to identify vulnerabilities and PHI exposure. Our cybersecurity services for healthcare help secure applications, APIs, EHR integrations, and connected systems.
One unpatched infusion pump can put an entire network segment in scope. Our medical device software development practice supports manufacturers and providers across the device lifecycle, from threat modelling through post-market monitoring, aligned with FDA premarket expectations and IEC 62443.
Controls that slow a scheduling API get switched off, so we harden AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud in ways that hold under production load. We assess configurations, identities, workloads, containers, and storage as part of our Healthcare security services, and confirm you run only BAA-covered services where PHI is involved, supporting Patient data protection. Extends our healthcare cloud services and healthcare cloud computing work.
Clinicians, patients, vendors, devices, and now AI agents all request the same records, which makes identity your most-tested boundary. We verify every request and hold permissions to least privilege without slowing care, with roles mapped to clinical duties rather than job titles. Controls extend across your EHR integration layer, and you can see the approach in production in our Zero Trust architecture case study.
Most healthcare security teams are not short on alerts, they are short on time to tell which ones matter. We pair 24/7 monitoring with our healthcare IT support team and AI-assisted detection and threat hunting, tuned to clinical traffic so a radiologist pulling 200 studies at 6am reads as normal and a service account doing the same at 3am does not.
AI moved into clinical documentation, triage, and patient messaging faster than most security programs adapted. That leaves PHI in prompt logs, agents holding permissions wider than their task requires, and staff using consumer tools no one holds a BAA with. This work runs alongside our healthcare AI solutions practice and enterprise AI integration services.
Interoperability mandates moved patient data onto APIs, and the security model did not always move with it. Our healthcare interoperability services help secure these connections with controls built for healthcare exchange, covering SMART on FHIR scopes, OAuth flows, patient-level access boundaries, and object-level authorisation flaws that top the OWASP API list.
We ensure you’re matched with the right talent resource based on your requirement.
Our team works with the tools your stack already runs, and we recommend new ones only when there is a clear gap.

Our Healthcare Cybersecurity Services use AI and automation to help healthcare security teams manage thousands of events across EHRs, APIs, cloud environments, medical devices, and connected applications. Our Healthcare cybersecurity solutions help identify suspicious activity, prioritize security risks, and accelerate response without adding unnecessary manual work to your security operations.
We offer flexible healthcare cybersecurity staffing and engagement models to meet your security needs as they evolve.
Best for one-time work with a clear deliverable. You define the scope, we agree on price and timeline, and we deliver. Common projects: HIPAA gap assessment, pen test, FDA cybersecurity submission, SOC 2 readiness, cloud security audit. Typical duration: two to twelve weeks.
A long-term security team assigned to your environment, working as an extension of your in-house staff. You get a security architect, two to four engineers, and a delivery lead. Reports into your CISO or Head of Engineering. Best for product companies and health systems building a permanent security program.
Subscription-based 24/7 MDR, SOC, and compliance monitoring for healthcare organizations that need around-the-clock coverage without staffing an in-house team. Predictable monthly pricing, no surprise bills during incidents. Best for digital health products in production and hospital systems without a SOC.
A pre-signed agreement that puts our forensics and breach response team on standby. When something happens, we are on a call within four hours, on your environment within twenty-four. No procurement delay during the worst moment of your year.
Our delivery process is designed to implement and continuously improve Healthcare cybersecurity solutions based on your environment, risk profile, and compliance requirements.
Discovery and Scoping
We map your tech stack, data flows, regulatory exposure, and the threats specific to your subsector. Your team provides read access to environments and 3 to 4 hours of stakeholder time. The BAA is signed before anyone touches an environment holding PHI.
Threat Modeling
We build a threat model using STRIDE or PASTA, mapped against MITRE ATT&CK. Medical device clients get FDA-specific threat modeling tied to clinical risk and 510(k) documentation requirements.
Risk Assessment and Prioritization
Every risk gets a CVSS rating, a clinical impact rating, and a fix priority. This is the deliverable OCR asks for first in a Phase 3 audit, and the one most organizations cannot produce on request. You get a list you can act on, not a 200-page report that sits in a folder.
Remediation and Implementation
Our engineers do the work. Most security firms hand you findings and leave. We implement Healthcare security services, harden configurations, patch systems, refactor insecure code, and rebuild what cannot be patched, because our security practice sits inside a healthcare engineering firm
Continuous Monitoring
After remediation we keep watching. Our SOC catches what bypasses preventive controls and gives you the early warning that decides whether an event becomes a reportable breach.
Audit and Reporting
Monthly dashboards for your board, quarterly compliance reports, and on-demand audit packages in the language regulators expect. When OCR sends a request, the evidence already exists.
Recent client engagements where we turned audit findings, breach risk, and FDA scrutiny into measurable results. Each project was delivered by our in-house healthcare security team.
A US-based telemedicine provider needed HIPAA-ready security across their video, scheduling, and EHR integration stack. We re-architected their AWS workloads, deployed Microsoft Sentinel for 24/7 monitoring, hardened their identity layer with Okta, and ran four rounds of pen testing before public launch. The platform now handles over two million virtual visits per year with zero reportable security incidents.
Discover
A regional hospital group with 12 facilities struggled to detect threats inside their network. We deployed a managed SIEM with custom detection rules tuned for clinical traffic patterns, set up a 24/7 SOC dedicated to their environment, and ran tabletop exercises with their IT leadership. Mean time to detect dropped from 90 days to 20.
Discover
A connected glucose monitor manufacturer needed FDA cybersecurity documentation for their 510(k) submission. We delivered threat modeling, SBOM generation, vulnerability disclosure policy, post-market surveillance plan, and a full security risk management report aligned with the FDA’s 2023 guidance. The submission was approved on first review, six weeks ahead of their target launch date.

Clinical trial data security, GxP-aligned validation, IP protection for research environments, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records and signatures.
PHI security at scale, claims processing protection, fraud detection support, member portal security, and TPA system hardening.
We build founder-friendly security programs that scale from MVP to Series B without slowing release cycles. SOC 2 prep, HIPAA gap closure, and pen testing on a startup budget.
Bacancy has been building and defending healthcare systems for 14 years, with a dedicated cybersecurity practice running inside a larger healthcare engineering firm. That structure matters. Your pen tester already understands FHIR. Your SOC analyst knows how a clinical workflow breaks. Your compliance specialist has shipped HIPAA programs end to end, not just written the policies. Here is what that depth gives you when we work together.
Healthcare cybersecurity services are professional services that protect protected health information (PHI), clinical systems, medical devices, and healthcare IT infrastructure from cyberattacks. They typically cover risk assessments, HIPAA compliance work, penetration testing, threat monitoring, incident response, and the security engineering work that builds defenses into healthcare applications. At Bacancy, we deliver all of these under one engagement.
Healthcare has been the most attacked industry on record for over a decade. A single breach exposes patient data, disrupts care, triggers OCR penalties, and damages public trust. The average healthcare data breach in the US now costs $9.77 million according to IBM. Strong cybersecurity protects patients, your license to operate, and your financial health.
Pricing depends on scope and environment size. A one-time security risk assessment for a mid-sized healthcare organization typically runs $15,000 to $50,000. Managed detection and response (MDR) for healthcare ranges from $3,000 to $15,000 per month. A full HIPAA compliance program setup runs $40,000 to $150,000. Bacancy scopes pricing to your environment.
Yes. Our processes are aligned with HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules. We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with our healthcare clients. Our team includes HIPAA-trained engineers and compliance specialists, and our delivery infrastructure is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified.
HIPAA compliance is a regulatory baseline. It requires specific administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Healthcare cybersecurity is broader. It includes everything HIPAA mandates plus the threat hunting, advanced detection, secure software development, and incident response capabilities that HIPAA does not require but real attackers force you to have.
Our standard healthcare security risk assessment runs two to four weeks for a mid-sized organization. Week one is discovery and information gathering. Weeks two and three cover testing, analysis, and validation. Week four is reporting, executive presentation, and remediation planning.
Yes. We support medical device manufacturers with pre-market cybersecurity submissions, threat modeling for 510(k) and De Novo pathways, SBOM generation, vulnerability disclosure policies, and post-market surveillance design. Our work is aligned with the FDA’s 2023 Medical Device Cybersecurity guidance and IEC 62443.
Our cybersecurity team holds CISSP, CISM, OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GSEC, AWS Certified Security, Microsoft Certified Azure Security Engineer Associate, and HCISPP, among others. Bacancy as an organization, is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified.
Both. We have engagement models built for healthcare startups working through SOC 2 prep, HIPAA gap closure, and seed-stage security on a startup budget. We also support large hospital systems and Fortune 500 pharma clients with multi-year managed programs.
