HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

Firethorne Tech delivers secure, compliance-driven IT solutions for healthcare organizations of all sizes. From protecting electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) to meeting HIPAA, HITECH, and NIST 800-53 requirements, we design and manage technology that keeps patient data safe and your operations running without interruption.

WHY IT & COMPLIANCE SERVICES MATTER IN HEALTHCARE

Healthcare providers handle some of the most sensitive data in any industry. Regulations such as HIPAA, HITECH, and state privacy laws require strict safeguards for patient records, medical imaging, billing systems, and connected medical devices. At the same time, hospitals, clinics, and specialty practices must deliver fast, reliable access to information for staff and patients.

Firethorne understands these dual demands. Our services help healthcare organizations secure ePHI, improve uptime, and prepare for HIPAA audits, all while supporting the daily workflows of doctors, nurses, and administrative teams.

OUR APPROACH FOR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS

Healthcare IT must deliver security, compliance, and uninterrupted patient care at the same time. Firethorne follows a structured, compliance-driven process that protects electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI), maintains uptime, and prepares organizations for HIPAA, HITECH, and state privacy audits.

Discovery & Gap Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive review of your environment, including EHR systems, practice management applications, Microsoft 365 tenants, network infrastructure, and connected medical devices. Our HIPAA-aligned risk assessment identifies vulnerabilities such as unencrypted data, flat networks, or unsupported systems and maps each finding to HIPAA Security Rule safeguards and other applicable privacy standards.
Roadmap Development

Next, we create a Do Now, Do Next, Do Later roadmap to prioritize remediation tasks. Immediate actions often include implementing multi-factor authentication, encrypting data at rest and in transit, or updating backup strategies for ePHI. Near-term steps may involve network segmentation, advanced monitoring, or upgrading legacy systems, while long-term initiatives might include secure cloud migrations for EHR platforms or Zero Trust architectures. This phased approach keeps compliance projects budget-friendly and clinically practical.
Remediation & Implementation

Firethorne executes remediation with minimal disruption to clinical operations. Our team deploys secure identity and access management, strengthens endpoint protections, hardens Microsoft 365 environments, and implements robust backup and disaster recovery strategies. Every configuration change and policy update is documented to create audit-ready evidence for HIPAA and HITECH requirements.
Ongoing Management & Compliance Support

HIPAA compliance is not a one-time event. Firethorne provides 24×7 monitoring, patch management, log review, and periodic risk analyses to maintain alignment with HIPAA, HITECH, and emerging state privacy laws. We also review and update policies regularly to reflect technology changes and new regulatory guidance, ensuring your organization stays continuously audit-ready.
