Healthcare Is a Target

Healthcare breaches cost more than any other industry — and they're getting worse.

Healthcare data is worth 10× more on the dark web than financial data. Ransomware groups specifically target clinics and healthcare providers because downtime costs lives — making payment more likely. Regulatory penalties under HIPAA and the Alberta Health Information Act can reach millions.

Most healthcare organizations in Calgary are using IT providers who are not equipped to address these specific risks. A general-purpose MSP that also does healthcare IT is not the same as a team that has audited healthcare organizations for government and Fortune 50 clients.

Healthcare Cybersecurity FAQ

Questions healthcare organizations ask us

If your organization deals with US patients, US insurance companies, or US partner organizations, HIPAA may apply. Regardless, the Alberta Health Information Act (HIA) requires all custodians of health information to conduct privacy impact assessments and implement security safeguards. ThreeShield can assess both simultaneously, and the controls largely overlap.
Our healthcare audit includes: technical vulnerability assessment of all systems touching PHI, EMR/EHR security review, network segmentation analysis, access control review, staff training assessment, policy and procedure gap analysis, physical security review, third-party vendor assessment, and compliance mapping to HIPAA, HIA, PIPEDA, or SOC 2 as applicable.
The question is whether you can afford not to. A healthcare data breach in Alberta typically costs $200,000–$500,000 in remediation, notification, regulatory response, and reputational damage — before lawsuits. ThreeShield offers right-sized engagements for small clinics, often starting with a focused risk assessment and Lavawall® monitoring that costs far less than one data breach. Contact us for a conversation about what makes sense for your organization's size and risk profile.
Yes. This is exactly the end-to-end model we describe: ThreeShield provides the Lavawall® platform for continuous evidence collection, guides your team through the compliance operationalization process, and delivers the audit — so you're not paying one vendor for the platform, another for guidance, and a third for the actual certification. Many smaller healthcare tech companies spend significantly more with the fragmented model.
