Healthcare is the most targeted industry for data breaches — and the most penalised for failing to prevent them. Defensely gives hospitals, clinics, and health networks real-time protection over every piece of PHI across endpoints, email, cloud, and AI tools. HIPAA-ready from day one.
OUR IMPACT ON HEALTHCARE



For NIST-CSF compliance, we tested DLP tools and found Strac the easiest to set up, with clear alerts and responsive support. We use its SaaS integrations and AI DLP to protect sensitive data across platforms like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. The dashboard is simple and effective.

CHALLENGES
The threat isn’t just ransomware from outside. Most PHI exposure happens from within — a nurse emailing patient records home, a contractor plugging in a USB, a doctor uploading files to a personal cloud. Defensely was built for all of it.
Challenge 1
Problem :
Clinical staff unknowingly share PHI via email, Teams, or Slack—often after it’s already exposed.
Solution :
Defensely blocks or quarantines PHI in real time with HIPAA-aligned, automated controls.
Pain point solved
Challenge 2
Problem :
Insider threats cause most breaches, often discovered weeks later.
Solution :
Defensely detects anomalies in real time with behavior analytics and risk scoring.
Pain point solved

FAQ
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA, provides data privacy and security measures for protecting medical information in the US. The legislation is designed to safeguard individuals’ protected health information (PHI), such as Social Security Numbers, medical records, telephone numbers, etc. In 2009 the legislation was updated with HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health), bringing additional compliance standards to businesses linked to healthcare.
