Healthcare Cybersecurity Consulting for HIPAA & Risk Compliance
Healthcare cybersecurity consulting matters more than ever. In 2024 alone, 133 million patient records were exposed. From AI-generated phishing to ransomware and email fraud, cyberattacks are disrupting care and draining budgets. NCX Group helps providers and partners assess risk, meet HIPAA and HITECH requirements, and stay operational — without losing focus on what matters most: protecting patients and earning their trust.
Securing Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI)
How Healthcare Cybersecurity Consulting Supports ePHI Protection
Protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) is no longer just a compliance checkbox — it’s a critical business risk. In 2025, healthcare providers and their business associates face rising threats from AI-driven phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise (BEC), all of which directly target patient data and operational systems.
Under HIPAA’s Security Rule, covered entities and business associates are required to assess and manage risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI. The HITECH Act expanded HIPAA’s enforcement, holding business associates directly accountable for breaches — and regulators have increased scrutiny in response to escalating cyberattacks.
Compliance with HIPAA now demands more than policies on paper. Regulators and insurers expect:
-
Ongoing security risk assessments
-
Proven controls for ransomware resilience and credential protection
-
Multi-factor authentication, backup validation, and employee training
-
Vendor oversight and evidence of breach response capability
At NCX Group, we help healthcare providers and their partners move beyond static compliance. Our approach focuses on real-world threat modeling, proactive risk reduction, and alignment with your legal, regulatory, and insurance obligations — so you can stay protected and operational.
