The Stakes in Healthcare Are Higher Than Any Other Industry
In healthcare, a cybersecurity failure isn’t just a data breach—it can be a threat to human life. Ransomware attacks have diverted ambulances, delayed surgeries, and disrupted life-sustaining medical devices. At VerSprite, we recognize that while data privacy is essential, patient safety must always come first.
For over 20 years, VerSprite has partnered with healthcare organizations across the care continuum—from the world’s largest medical device manufacturers to regional health systems, healthtech innovators, and healthcare payers. We understand that healthcare cybersecurity requires more than checkbox compliance; it demands a risk-centric approach that prioritizes clinical continuity and patient outcomes.

The Healthcare Threat Landscape: 2024-2025
Healthcare remains the most targeted critical infrastructure sector in the United States:
259 Million Americans
had their protected health information (PHI) exposed in 2024 alone
$10.93 Million
is the average cost of a healthcare data breach—the highest of any industry
72% of healthcare organizations
reported patient care disruptions from cyberattacks in the past year
30% Increase
in Healthcare ransomware attacks in 2025

Why Healthcare Organizations Choose VerSprite
Patient Safety as the North Star
Every security recommendation we make considers clinical impact. We don’t propose controls that would impede care delivery or create patient safety risks. Our threat models account for clinical workflows, not just technical vulnerabilities.
20+ Years of Healthcare Expertise
We’ve been securing healthcare organizations since before HITECH existed. Our team includes professionals with deep experience in healthcare operations, clinical environments, and the regulatory landscape that governs this industry.
Regulatory Mastery: HIPAA, FDA & Beyond
We help you build security programs that actually protect patients and data:
- HIPAA Security Rule & Privacy Rule
- HITECH Act
- HITRUST CSF
- FDA Cybersecurity Guidance — Section 524B compliance, premarket submissions, SBOM requirements
- NIST 800-66
- International Frameworks — PIPEDA (Canada), GDPR (EU)
Risk-Centric Threat Modeling with PASTA
Our PASTA methodology (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) was designed to align security with business—and clinical—objectives:
- We model threats that could impact patient safety, not just data confidentiality
- We assess attack patterns specific to healthcare environments (ransomware targeting EHRs, attacks on connected medical devices, supply chain compromises)
- We help product teams identify residual risks that could delay FDA approval or create post-market liability
- We translate complex technical findings into language that resonates with clinical leadership, not just IT

The VerSprite Difference in Healthcare
We understand that healthcare is different. Your IT team can’t just “shut down systems” during a penetration test. Your threat model must account for a nurse who needs immediate access to patient records. Your compliance program must satisfy CMS, OCR, the FDA, and your cyber insurance carrieroften simultaneously.
We bring:
- Clinical awareness – We understand care delivery workflows and won’t recommend controls that compromise patient safety
- Regulatory expertise – HIPAA, FDA, HITRUST, and state requirements integrated into every engagement
- Product security depth – Deep experience with medical device security, from implantables to diagnostic imaging systems
- Threat intelligence – Ongoing monitoring of healthcare-specific threat actors and attack patterns
