Canada’s healthcare sector faces a growing wave of cyber threats targeting electronic health records (EHRs), connected medical devices, and sensitive patient data. Brigient provides specialized healthcare cybersecurity consulting in Canada, helping hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and health networks identify vulnerabilities, meet PHIPA requirements, and build resilient defences — without disrupting patient care.
Healthcare is one of the most targeted sectors globally — and Canada is no exception. The combination of highly sensitive personal health information (PHI), legacy IT infrastructure, and critical operational requirements makes healthcare organizations attractive to ransomware gangs, nation-state actors, and opportunistic attackers.
Major Canadian health networks have been forced to divert patients and cancel surgeries after systems were encrypted.
Breaches carry severe PHIPA and PIPEDA penalties including mandatory reporting and lasting reputational harm.
Imaging systems, infusion pumps, and wearables often run outdated software with minimal security controls.
EMR systems, billing platforms, and remote access tools introduce third-party vulnerabilities into your environment.
Brigient delivers a full spectrum of cybersecurity services tailored to the regulatory, operational, and clinical requirements of Canadian healthcare organizations.
Thorough gap assessments against PHIPA and applicable provincial legislation, with a prioritized remediation roadmap and Health Information Custodian accountability documentation.
Structured risk assessments aligned with NIST CSF, HITRUST, and ISO 27001 — covering threat landscape, asset inventory, access controls, and incident response readiness.
Healthcare-specific Incident Response Plans, tabletop exercises, and backup recovery validation to minimize downtime and protect patient care continuity.
Device discovery, vulnerability scanning, network segmentation design, and risk-tiering for Internet of Medical Things environments — without impacting clinical operations.
Cybersecurity posture assessments of EMR providers, cloud platforms, and PHI-handling vendors with ongoing monitoring and data sharing agreements.
Tailored programs for clinical and administrative staff on phishing, social engineering, PHI handling, and password hygiene — meeting PHIPA training requirements.
24/7 continuous monitoring of EHR systems, network traffic, and endpoints with rapid alerting and incident containment for organizations without dedicated security teams.
Our consultants are fluent in the full regulatory landscape governing Canadian healthcare data.
A cybersecurity breach in healthcare puts patient safety at risk and can have lasting consequences for your organization’s reputation, operations, and regulatory standing. Don’t wait for an incident to expose your gaps.
