A Healthcare CISO’s Guide to true ransomware resilience
Healthcare organizations face a unique twofold challenge: strict regulatory frameworks like HIPAA on one side, and relentless ransomware and vendor risks on the other.
Simply being “compliant” isn’t enough. Attackers exploit the gaps between audits, the controls that look good on paper but fail during real attacks, or the hidden risks in your vendor ecosystem. Recent breaches show that the consequences can be devastating, even for companies that seem to meet all compliance standards.
This playbook gives healthcare CISOs and security leaders a resilience-first approach to manage vendor risk. It’s a practical roadmap to strengthen defenses, reduce burnout, and stay compliant by default.
Covered in the guide:
Why compliance is only the floor, not the ceiling, for ransomware resilience
Real-world lessons from healthcare breaches that passed audits but failed in practice
A resilience framework that prevents, contains, forbids, and recovers from attacks
Vendor and supply chain risks unique to healthcare, and how to mitigate them
Practical controls for phishing, MFA, endpoint security, and data loss prevention
How to embed continuous monitoring and automation to close gaps between audits
Why resilience by DNA makes compliance an outcome, not the other way around
