Cyber Risk Advisory for the Healthcare Industry

Where Patient Care, Compliance, and Business Risk Converge

Healthcare cyber risk is no longer an IT or compliance issue.
It directly affects patient care, privacy, financial exposure, and operational continuity.

NCX Group provides independent cyber risk advisory to healthcare organizations that need clarity and defensible readiness under real scrutiny.

Healthcare Risk Dynamics

Cyber Risk Is a Healthcare Business Risk

Cyber risk touches every part of healthcare delivery, administration, and continuity. It affects:

  • Protection of patient data (PHI)
  • Continuity of clinical systems and operations
  • Third-party software and cloud dependencies
  • Telehealth integrations
  • Medical device connectivity

These factors directly impact patient trust, regulatory obligations, reimbursement, and operational uptime.

Regulatory & Operational Context

Healthcare Cyber Risk Is More Than Compliance

Healthcare organizations must navigate overlapping requirements, including:

  • HIPAA / HITECH
  • CMS and OCR expectations
  • State and federal reporting mandates
  • Third-party risk management obligations
  • payer, partner, and referral ecosystem requirements

Compliance is necessary but not sufficient. Independent validation of controls, alignment with business risk, and defensible reporting are increasingly expected by regulators, boards, insurers, and partners.

How NCX Group Supports Healthcare

Independent, Business-Aligned Risk Advisory

NCX Group helps healthcare organizations integrate cyber risk into governance, compliance, and operational planning:

  • Independent risk assessments tailored to healthcare environments
  • Evaluation of policies, controls, and third-party dependencies
  • Executive and board-ready reports that tie risk to business outcomes
  • Preparation for regulatory reviews, audits, and patient data protection assessments
  • Alignment with payer, partner, and insurer expectations

We do not sell security tools. We provide independent judgment that supports risk-informed decisions.
