HIPAA-aligned MDR and identity protection
Managed detection and response on every endpoint and Managed ITDR on the productivity tenant, sized to the PHI you hold, with the audit controls the Security Rule expects.
Senior care · home health · assisted living
When the systems go down, care delivery is what's at stake.
Assisted-living, home-health, and senior-care operators hold protected health information for a vulnerable population, and their systems are tied directly to care delivery and scheduling. A ransomware event here isn't just a data problem — it disrupts the care itself.
The exposure
What underwriters and attackers actually look at
PHI and care-delivery systems are the assets; the loss being priced is a disruption to scheduling, records, and medication management. Carriers proxy HIPAA risk through PHI record counts and the general control stack, and they care that coverage reaches the care-delivery systems, not just office machines.
Applicable framework: HIPAA Security Rule.
The program

Protection that reaches the scheduling, EHR, and records systems care depends on — confirmed, not assumed.
Backups checked for continuity
The Readiness Sprint checks for an immutable, restore-tested copy of your EHR and records data, and documents it. We do not sell managed backup yet.
HIPAA + insurance evidence
Audit logs, MFA coverage, encryption confirmation, training records, and an incident-response plan packaged for OCR review and cyber underwriting.
Fit
Who this is for
- Assisted-living and memory-care operators
- Home-health and hospice agencies

Senior Care & Home Health: common security questions
Is a senior-care or assisted-living community covered by HIPAA?
Often yes. Skilled nursing, home health, and hospice providers are HIPAA covered entities.
Assisted living and independent living handle protected health information and routinely sign business-associate agreements with the covered entities they coordinate care with — so the safeguarding obligation reaches them either way.
What's the biggest cyber risk in senior care?
Ransomware that locks the EHR or medication records — a patient-safety event, not just an IT problem, which raises the pressure to pay. Valuable health data plus lean IT is exactly what attackers look for. Detection on every endpoint and the EHR, plus tested backups, is the core defense.
How much does managed cybersecurity cost for a senior-care provider?
Managed coverage starts at $25 per person per month (Ridge Core, no minimum), which watches every computer and every email login.
Ridge Plus adds staff training, email protection and a secure browser; Ridge Reserve adds the incident response plan, access reviews and patch reporting.
All three are priced per person, and log collection is Ridge Log, an add-on on any tier. The one-time Cyber Insurance Readiness Sprint is a fixed fee from $1,500 (three tiers up to $3,500).
How fast can you prove HIPAA readiness?
The Cyber Insurance Readiness Sprint runs seven business days and produces the risk analysis and documentation HHS and cyber carriers expect. We agree the managed-monitoring deployment schedule after reviewing your environment.
