The number of clinics that have fallen victim to ransomware and other malware attacks increased by 165% in 2017. The cost of a privacy breach in healthcare gets over 6 figures quickly.
A clinic privacy breach like a ransomware attack could require notification of all patients in your electronic records system. They will tell their friends, so there’s another cost in crisis communications to protect your reputation and keep patients coming back.
What happens to your clinic if you never recover the patient files? Access to patient data is your business. Brightsquid can help make sure patient information is secured and kept confidential at all times. The risk to your clinic is too great.
