Secure cloud for clinical and administrative environments.
HIPAA-compliant cloud security and infrastructure for hospitals, health systems, and payers. We design secure cloud architecture, implement SIEM platforms, and build detection and response capabilities that protect clinical operations without disrupting care delivery.
Healthcare cloud environments face a security challenge unlike any other sector: clinical workloads that cannot tolerate downtime sit alongside administrative systems, research networks, and connected medical device environments, all under HIPAA and often HITRUST scrutiny. A security incident does not just mean data loss in healthcare. It can mean delayed diagnoses and patient safety risk.
Yearling Solutions brings practitioners who have designed and secured healthcare cloud environments across Epic, Cerner, and Oracle Health deployments. We implement cloud security controls that satisfy OCR and HITRUST requirements and build SIEM and detection capabilities tuned to the specific threat patterns targeting healthcare organizations.
Standards & Regulatory Context
The compliance landscape that shapes cloud security programs in healthcare.
HIPAA Security Rule
Technical safeguards for cloud-hosted ePHI including access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security.
HITRUST CSF
Cloud security controls mapped to HITRUST r2 and i1 certification requirements for covered entities and business associates.
NIST CSF & SP 800-66
Healthcare-specific cybersecurity framework adoption and HIPAA-aligned security controls implementation.
HHS 405(d) HICP
Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices aligned to cloud security and threat detection for healthcare organizations of all sizes.
Joint Commission & DNV
Accreditation requirements that intersect with healthcare IT security, including incident response and business continuity.
State Health Data Laws
State-specific health data protection and breach notification requirements that add obligations beyond federal HIPAA baseline.
What We're Seeing
The security realities driving conversations with healthcare infrastructure leaders today.
Ransomware targeting clinical operations
Healthcare remains among the most targeted sectors for ransomware. Attackers time events for maximum operational pressure. Cloud segmentation, backup architecture, and detection controls determine how quickly an organization recovers.
SIEM visibility gaps across clinical and administrative networks
Most healthcare SIEM deployments have strong coverage of corporate networks and weak coverage of clinical environments, biomedical devices, and EHR audit logs. Attackers exploit the blind spots that no alert fires for.
Cloud misconfigurations exposing ePHI
Misconfigured S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM policies, and unencrypted data stores continue to drive healthcare breach notifications. CSPM tools alone do not close gaps that require policy and process changes.
Third-party vendor access as an attack vector
Healthcare IT environments grant broad access to EHR vendors, biomedical device companies, and managed services providers. Vendor access that is not reviewed and scoped creates lateral movement risk that attackers consistently exploit.
