01HIPAA Network Compliance
HIPAA requires strict network segmentation between clinical systems, administrative networks, and guest access. Auditors found 14 segmentation violations during the last assessment, each requiring manual remediation with no tooling to prevent recurrence.
02Medical Device Segmentation
MRI scanners, infusion pumps, and patient monitors share network infrastructure with IT systems. These devices cannot run endpoint agents and many use outdated firmware, isolating them requires precise VLAN and firewall configuration that was managed manually.
0324/7 Uptime Requirements
Emergency departments and ICUs cannot tolerate network outages. A 47-minute switch failure in radiology delayed 12 patient scans and triggered a critical incident review. The team had no rapid rollback capability.
04Legacy Equipment Integration
30% of network devices were end-of-life hardware running firmware no longer supported by vendors. These devices could not be replaced due to budget constraints but still needed monitoring, backup, and inclusion in compliance reporting.
