Protect patient data. Keep care moving.
Practical cybersecurity for hospitals, health systems, payers, and life sciences. We help security and compliance leaders close HIPAA gaps, mature HITRUST programs, and reduce risk across clinical and connected device environments without disrupting patient care.
Healthcare security teams operate under constant pressure: HIPAA enforcement is rising, ransomware groups continue to target hospitals, and connected medical devices keep expanding the attack surface. The teams that succeed have a clear picture of risk across clinical, administrative, and research workflows and a security program built around how care actually gets delivered.
Yearling Solutions brings practitioners who have run security and compliance for healthcare organizations. We work alongside your CISO, privacy officer, and IT leadership to build programs that hold up to OCR scrutiny, third-party assessments, and the operational realities of a 24/7 clinical environment.
Frameworks & Regulatory Context
The standards, regulations, and guidance that shape security programs in healthcare.
HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules
Risk analysis, safeguard assessment, and remediation aligned to OCR enforcement priorities.
HITRUST CSF
Readiness, gap analysis, and assessor coordination for r2 and i1 certifications.
NIST CSF & 800-66
Healthcare-specific cybersecurity framework adoption and maturity benchmarking.
FDA Pre-market & Post-market Guidance
Medical device cybersecurity advisory aligned to current FDA expectations.
HHS 405(d) HICP
Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices alignment for organizations of any size.
State Privacy & Breach Laws
Notification readiness across state-specific health data and consumer privacy regimes.
What We're Seeing
The security realities driving conversations with healthcare leaders today.
Ransomware targeting clinical operations
Threat actors increasingly time attacks for maximum operational pressure. Recovery is faster when segmentation, identity, and incident response are tested before an event.
Third-party and supply chain risk
Most healthcare breaches now originate with a vendor. A maintained third-party risk program is no longer optional for any covered entity or business associate.
Connected and legacy medical devices
Imaging, infusion, and monitoring devices often run unsupported software on flat networks. Visibility and segmentation are foundational, not aspirational.
Identity sprawl across clinicians and contractors
Shared workstations, rotating residents, and travel staff create identity hygiene gaps that drive both audit findings and breach risk.
