MediShield IT operates the monitoring, filtering, control, and recovery services that sit underneath a healthcare organization's HIPAA program. Each one is here for a single reason: it supports a safeguard your privacy officer can name, and it produces evidence your risk analysis can cite.
A retailer that loses a database loses money and reputation. A clinic that loses its systems loses the ability to see the people who are already in the waiting room. Three characteristics of this sector shape everything we run.
Credential theft and invoice fraud arrive by email because email reaches every role at once: the front desk, the biller, the practice manager, the physician answering messages between appointments. It is the one system that connects your workforce to strangers by design.
Filtering removes most of it. Training addresses the remainder, and it produces the dated per-person record you will want when somebody asks how the workforce was prepared.
When scheduling, imaging, and charting stop, appointments are deferred and staff fall back to paper they have not used in years. The cost is measured in diverted care and rescheduled procedures long before anyone calculates the invoice.
That is why prevention, detection, and recovery are quoted here as one program rather than three unrelated purchases.
Referral faxes land in a scan folder. An eligibility report is exported to a laptop for a meeting. A statement run sits in a shared mailbox for a year. None of it was misconduct, and all of it widens the surface your risk analysis has to account for.
Discovery is how that surface stops being a matter of opinion.
A control you cannot evidence is, to an auditor and to a plaintiff alike, a control you did not have.
The principle behind every service on this page
The HIPAA Security Rule is written as standards and implementation specifications, some required and some addressable. Below is the honest correspondence between the rule and what we operate. It is a support relationship, never a substitute for your own risk analysis, policies, and documentation.
You cannot assess risk to information you have not located. PHI discovery scans endpoints for health identifiers and payment card data and returns a per-device breakdown of what is sitting unprotected. That output is an input to your risk analysis, not a replacement for the analysis itself.
Reducing risk to a reasonable level starts with knowing which devices exist, what is installed on them, and whether they are patched. Endpoint management keeps that record current across Windows, macOS, Linux, Apple hardware, and mobile devices, and it is the register a device and media control asks you to produce.
Simulated phishing and short recurring lessons leave dated, per-person records that show the workforce was reminded and what happened when they were tested. Gateway filtering, application allowlisting, and endpoint agents are the malicious software protections those records sit beside.
Reviewing system activity is a control only when a person actually performs it. Our security operations team examines detections around the clock and records what was observed, what was decided, and when. Endpoint agents supply the audit trail beneath that review.
The rule asks you to identify, respond to, mitigate, and document security incidents. On the remediation lines our analysts carry out the containment themselves and leave the timeline behind them, which is the documentation half of that requirement.
Backup and continuity covers this subpart end to end: running backup jobs against the systems you nominate, documented recovery paths, and scheduled restore testing that returns proof a recovery succeeded. Testing and revision is the clause most organizations cannot evidence, and it is the one we automate.
Material in our custody carries AES-256 encryption while stored and TLS while it moves. On the enforcement line, encryption can be applied to files directly on the endpoint as well. Encryption is also the control behind the safe harbor in the Breach Notification Rule, where PHI rendered unusable and unreadable falls outside the definition of unsecured PHI.
Each line carries an open monthly rate tied to something countable: one endpoint, one mailbox, one licensed user, one server, one tenant. Select whichever apply and checkout merges them into a single subscription. Nothing is bundled, and no term is imposed.
The sequence matters in this sector. Nothing that could touch protected health information is enabled before the agreement covering it is executed.
You choose your lines and complete checkout. Stripe handles the transaction, and no card data is ever seen by this site or by us. Before provisioning starts, Fortify 24x7 executes a Business Associate Agreement with you and confirms which systems, sites, and devices fall inside the scope.
Your setup package arrives by email: agents for each device line, authorization links for each cloud platform line, and the tenant records that attach your account to our operations desk. Usually within the same working day.
Jobs run, detections reach our analysts, and the evidence accumulates on its own: restore test results, training completion records, patch state, and case history. All of it stays available in your portal for the day someone asks to see it.
There is no such thing as a HIPAA certified product, and no vendor can place your organization in compliance. Compliance is a program you own: your risk analysis, your policies, your workforce training, your documentation. What we supply are technical services and the evidence they generate, mapped to the safeguards in the HIPAA Security Rule so your compliance team can point at something concrete.
Nothing described on this site guarantees a compliance outcome, an audit result, or immunity from a breach. Determinations about your obligations belong to your privacy officer and your counsel. Fortify 24x7 executes a Business Associate Agreement before enabling any service that may create, receive, maintain, or transmit protected health information on your behalf.
