Advantages for Healthcare Industries in Leveraging the Cloud Privacy is of the essence when it comes to healthcare companies protecting their clients' data. Many leaders in healthcare already have a strong foothold in the cloud. As a result, the rest of the industry must move quickly or risk falling behind competitively.
Regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, GxP) is crucial to safeguarding healthcare data. By working with a HITRUST-certified managed cloud provider, these companies can help with data locality planning and compliance. And leveraging the cloud can help healthcare companies outperform regulatory mandates.
Problems with Cloud Security in the Healthcare Industry Healthcare is a competitive industry by nature. Each sector needs to leverage their data assets while lowering or optimizing costs, so they can hold market share and remain viable. But if you're building platforms from scratch every time you deploy or provision, you're looking at a recipe for failure:
Data breaches (which continue to trend upward) are crippling to healthcare organizations and can result in million dollar losses due to fines, remediation, and litigation
Damaged reputations reduce community trust, new patient enrollment, and funding
Difficulty finding new employment as a result of the stigma data breaches bring to the career of healthcare IT leaders.
But the solutions healthcare IT organizations often use to remediate these potentially catastrophic events aren't much better:
Security teams fighting for access to exposed applications and systems storing (or transmitting) patient and employee data
Increasing costs associated with maintaining security compliance with CIOs doing more with less
Historically, innovation and compliance have been seen as opposing forces. And the speed of innovation often finds itself at odds with the difficult process of achieving compliance. But healthcare companies looking for secure solutions while avoiding disastrous news headlines need a better, software-based solution.
