CLOUD SERVICES FOR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS
Cloud computing is transforming the healthcare industry — and the patient experience.
Cloud technology continues to transform the healthcare industry across the spectrum of health providers, from hospitals to pharma to biotech — so they can innovate faster, gain efficiencies, optimize workflows and lower costs while maintaining compliance in a highly regulated industry.
Compliance is critical for the healthcare industry when moving to the cloud.
Cloud healthcare solutions are driving data-driven insights, optimizing costs and improving the overall patient experience in the healthcare sector. They’re also enabling healthcare providers to leverage real-time data and modernize their applications, which ultimately benefits patients.
But there’s a need for healthcare organizations to remain vigilant against security threats and to ensure compliance. Healthcare providers are legally responsible (and liable) for storing and securing sensitive patient health information. In fact, electronic health records are worth significantly more than credit card information on the dark web. They can also be ransomed and are therefore highly coveted by cyber attackers.
Our cloud healthcare solutions are secure and compliant by design, built to stringent controls that help mitigate the risks your healthcare organization faces every day. Our Managed Security Services and Operations Centre (SOC) offers managed endpoint protection, vulnerability management, managed SIEM and encryption at rest for medical records and data.
We also adhere to NIST, HIPAA and in-scope Canadian healthcare privacy laws, including PIPA, PHIPA, PHIPAA and PIPEDA. Your sensitive patient data is stored in Canadian cloud targets with the hyperscalers or our own data centres for provincial healthcare data residency requirements or preferences, with a Canadian support team to help whenever you need us.

Strategy and consulting for healthcare:
Our solution architects can help you design, plan and build a secure, compliant cloud healthcare solution based on your unique requirements — and at a pace suitable for your team. We’ll do a full assessment of your IT environment and help you choose the right cloud healthcare solution, which could include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and our private cloud service powered by VMware. We can then help you migrate to a HIPAA-compliant cloud environment. And if you’re already on a public cloud, we can help you optimize your environment for compliance, security, privacy, cost and performance.
Ongoing peace of mind.
