Nonprofit hospitals often struggle with limited security budgets and bandwidth while processing high volumes of protected healthcare information (PHI) on a daily basis. In the wake of a breach, a leading US pediatric hospital needed to restructure security infrastructure for its trust. However, budget constraints and inflexible vendors posed major roadblocks.
Solution
20+ years of experience
Toptal introduced an experienced Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) with decades of experience evaluating and developing security solutions. The vCISO carried out a thorough analysis of the trust’s current infrastructure, teams, and procedures.
Redefining the road map
The vCISO developed a detailed roadmap to help the client transition from its current security system to an optimal solution. This plan included the latest best practices for new systems and offered guidance to the client’s team in implementing the new security practices.
Outcome
Unparalleled value
The hospital had trouble finding consultancies that were willing to work within its limited budget. Fortunately, Toptal’s flexible model allowed the client to work with a high-quality vCISO on an hourly basis, making it possible to kick off and execute a previously out-of-reach project.
High-caliber security
Thanks to the roadmap developed by Toptal’s talent, the client now has a strong security presence that will help protect patient data and donor information from future cybersecurity threats. The hospital is better prepared than ever to ensure the safety of sensitive information for years to come.
