Protect your practice.
Protect your patients.

Healthcare-specific cybersecurity — risk assessments, ransomware defense, endpoint protection, and incident response planning — for practices where a breach has consequences beyond the IT department.

The challenge

What healthcare practices face every day.

Healthcare is the most ransomware-targeted sector in North America. Attackers know clinical organizations face intense pressure to restore operations quickly — and are willing to pay. Prevention and preparedness are the only acceptable strategies.

Ransomware Targeting

Healthcare organizations are disproportionately targeted by ransomware because downtime directly threatens patient care and creates pressure to pay quickly. A successful attack can halt operations for days or weeks.

Phishing & Social Engineering

Clinical staff receive high volumes of email and operate under time pressure — exactly the conditions phishing attacks exploit. A single click can provide attackers with a foothold in your entire network.

Cyber Insurance Requirements Tightening

Insurers are requiring documented evidence of specific controls — MFA, EDR, backup testing, security training — before renewing healthcare cyber coverage. Practices without documentation face coverage gaps.

Privileged Access Exposure

Overprivileged accounts — particularly in clinical and administrative systems — dramatically increase the impact of a compromised credential. Most practices have not reviewed access rights in years.

Legacy Systems & Unpatched Software

Many clinical practices run software that cannot be updated — older operating systems, unsupported EMR versions, and legacy medical device firmware. Each creates a vulnerability that cannot be patched conventionally.

No Tested Recovery Plan

Having backups is not the same as having a recovery plan. Most practices have never tested whether they can restore operations from backup — and discover the gap when they need it most.

Vulnerability Scanning & Remediation

Continuous vulnerability scanning across all managed endpoints and network devices, with tracked remediation and evidence documentation for insurers and regulators.

security

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

EDR deployment across all managed clinical endpoints — providing real-time threat detection, containment, and forensic capability far beyond traditional antivirus.

Anti-Phishing & Email Security

Advanced email filtering, anti-phishing controls, and DMARC/DKIM/SPF implementation — with simulated phishing campaigns to measure and improve staff awareness.

Incident Response Planning

A documented, tested incident response plan specific to your clinical environment — including breach notification procedures under HIPAA, HHS reporting timelines, and patient notification templates.

backup

Ransomware Recovery Readiness

Validated backup architecture with air-gapped copies, tested recovery procedures, and documented RTOs — so a ransomware event has a known recovery path, not an unknown one.

How a family medicine clinic passed cyber insurance renewal with no premium increase.

Family medicine clinic · [XX] locations

From uninsurable to fully covered — and actually secure.

A [XX]-location family medicine clinic faced a cyber insurance renewal requiring documented MFA enrollment, EDR coverage, and security training logs. Their previous provider had none of these. Lexcom deployed EDR, configured MFA across all systems, and delivered a tracked training program — enabling the renewal with documentation the insurer accepted.
