Healthcare

Healthcare organisations are the most targeted sector for ransomware and data theft — and the stakes extend beyond financial loss to patient safety. HIPAA demands forensic-grade evidence handling for any breach investigation. Medical devices introduce attack surfaces that standard security tools cannot inspect. When clinical systems are hit, response needs to be fast and the breach notification process needs to be airtight. NOVE delivers the DFIR depth that healthcare security teams need without compromising clinical operations.

• →HIPAA evidence handling requirements mean every breach investigation must maintain a documented, tamper-evident chain of custody for all patient data accessed during the incident.
• →Medical device vulnerabilities — legacy imaging systems, infusion pumps, and monitoring equipment running unpatched OS versions represent persistent, hard-to-inspect attack surfaces.
• →Ransomware targeting clinical systems can disable patient care capabilities — fast, effective response is a patient safety issue, not just a security concern.
• →Patient data breach response requires precise scoping of affected records, breach notification under HIPAA timelines, and defensible documentation for HHS OCR investigations.

• ✓HIPAA-aligned evidence management with immutable audit logs, PHI access tracking, and chain-of-custody documentation that meets HHS OCR investigative standards.
• ✓Medical device forensics support — NOVE's evidence vault can ingest and preserve artifacts from medical device network traffic, logs, and firmware images for forensic analysis.
• ✓Ransomware response playbooks tuned for clinical environments — network segmentation actions, backup validation workflows, and clinical system restoration sequencing built in.
• ✓Breach notification workflow automation — HIPAA 60-day notification timeline tracked automatically, with affected record scoping, notification letter generation, and HHS OCR submission packaging.
• ✓Continuous PHI access anomaly detection — UEBA surfaces unusual access to patient records by staff, identifying insider threats and compromised credentials before data is exfiltrated.

Built for the unique forensic, regulatory, and patient safety demands of healthcare security. See how NOVE handles HIPAA breach investigations end to end.
