Cybersecurity for Reno Healthcare Providers
Healthcare cybersecurity protects patient data and keeps the systems care depends on available. We protect Reno, Sparks and Carson City medical and behavioral health practices with 24/7/365 monitoring by our SOC, MFA and zero trust access, email security, training and incident response, and we sign a HIPAA business associate agreement with every healthcare client.
When systems go down, care slows down.
Attackers know that a practice unable to see its schedule, charts or prescriptions is under pressure to restore service fast. The February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare showed how far that disruption can spread, interrupting claims and pharmacy processing for providers across the country.
Closer to home, the August 2025 ransomware attack on the State of Nevada's network took state systems offline, and officials confirmed data was stolen.1 Practice size offers little protection.
Where attacks on practices land.
- Electronic health records and practice management: the core of the practice and the main ransomware target.
- Patient portals and telehealth: internet-facing, so they draw credential attacks.
- Email: fake referrals, lab results and payer notices aimed at clinical and billing staff.
- Connected medical devices: often hard to patch and sharing a network with office PCs.
- Vendor connections: billing services, labs and software vendors with remote access.
What our plans cover for practices.
Our SOC watches the accounts, endpoints and logs connected to our plans. Your EHR vendor and IT provider continue to support your clinical applications and equipment.

System activity logged and reviewed, supporting HIPAA's audit control requirement.
Incident response
Containment and investigation, with findings you can share with counsel for breach decisions.
HIPAA and HHS performance goals.
The HIPAA Security Rule requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards for electronic patient information. HHS has also published voluntary Healthcare and Public Health Cybersecurity Performance Goals, which highlight practical controls such as MFA, email security, basic training, vulnerability management and incident planning.2
A proposed update to the Security Rule, published in January 2025, would make several of those controls mandatory. At the time of writing (October 2026) it was not final.
Health data outside HIPAA.
Med spas, wellness clinics and health apps that are not HIPAA covered entities may fall under Nevada SB 370, the state's consumer health data law.
Dental offices have their own page: dental practice cybersecurity.
