Enabling healthcare M&A through cyber resilience

Working closely with the client's team, we conducted a thorough assessment of their cybersecurity landscape, identifying critical vulnerabilities and opportunities for enhancement. Amid a post-acquisition transition, the client needed to secure more than 2,000 devices without disrupting daily operations. Our approach prioritized high-impact initiatives that would deliver immediate risk reduction while setting the foundation for long-term digital resilience. We developed a comprehensive roadmap that balanced urgent security needs with operational continuity—focusing on essential upgrades to authentication systems, endpoint protection, and administrative controls.

We launched parallel workstreams to maximize impact within the compressed timeline. Our technology experts collaborated with the client's IT team to implement Azure AD security controls, Thycotic Secret Server for password management, and Microsoft Defender for Identity. Through a phased, 12-week transformation, we deployed multi-layered security solutions that protected more than 2,000 endpoints. We established new administrative protocols, enhanced encryption measures, and removed security vulnerabilities. Throughout the process, we provided hands-on training and documentation, ensuring the client's team was equipped to maintain and build upon these security improvements long after project completion.

The transformation delivered immediate and lasting impact. Beyond the quantitative improvements in endpoint security and access control, we introduced automated credential rotation across thousands of systems and removed over 90 unauthorized applications—tightening controls and reducing exposure. We established a resilient cybersecurity foundation that supports the company's growth objectives. The new security infrastructure significantly reduced the risk of costly ransomware events while freeing IT resources to focus on strategic initiatives. With enhanced monitoring capabilities, automated security protocols, and trained internal teams, the organization now has the digital resilience to thrive in today's dynamic threat landscape.
