We built INCARE CyberSecure for hospitals like yours.

Rural and community hospitals deserve the same quality of cybersecurity work that 30-hospital health systems take for granted. Most of them aren't getting it. We started INCARE CyberSecure to change that, with practical engagements sized for the budgets and timelines hospitals actually have.

Our team

Who's behind INCARE CyberSecure.

INCARE CyberSecure was built by senior practitioners with 15+ years leading audit, risk, and security programs across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. We've spent careers translating between regulators, executives, and the IT teams who actually have to ship the fix.

Our backgrounds span HIPAA, the HHS 405(d) Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices, NIST CSF, HITRUST, SOX, GDPR, third-party and vendor risk, incident response, and security program maturity. We've run gap assessments inside global enterprises, stood up GRC functions from scratch, and walked clinical operations teams through real ransomware tabletops.

What we kept seeing was rural and community hospitals getting sold the same enterprise platforms, and the same enterprise invoices, as 30-hospital health systems. Hospitals where IT wears three hats. They don't need another 200-page report. They need a clear fix list and someone willing to help work through it.

How we work

Senior people. Right-sized scope.

Our engagements run on senior practitioners. We bring in subject-matter advisors only when the work calls for them. No bench-warming, no junior handoffs, no enterprise-style overhead.

No junior benchThe senior person you meet at kickoff is the same person who does the work and presents it to your board. We don't hand off to consultants you've never met.
Advisors when neededIf an engagement calls for a clinical SME or a healthcare attorney, we bring one in. If it doesn't, you don't pay for one.
Healthcare context, not theoryWe've worked inside hospital environments. Clinical workflows, EHR audits, medical device inventories. The compliance work is grounded in what you actually run.
One team, start to finishThe same people from kickoff through delivery. You'll know exactly who to call after we hand off.
Expertise

Frameworks we work in every week.

Our engagements map directly to the standards your auditors, board, and regulators are already asking about. The work you pay for shows up in the reports that matter.

HIPAA Security RuleAdministrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Gap analysis, risk assessment, and remediation planning.
HHS 405(d) HICPThe Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices, with technical volumes scaled to fit your organization.
NIST CSF 2.0Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. The backbone of our program-level maturity reviews.
HITRUST CSFPre-assessment readiness, evidence tiering, and remediation prioritization for hospitals working toward certification.
Third-Party & Vendor RiskBAA reviews, vendor questionnaires, and an evidence model your team can run after we hand it off.
Incident ResponsePlaybook development, immutable backup strategies, and ransomware tabletops grounded in clinical reality.
What drives us

Three principles, every engagement.

If we're a good fit, you'll see these show up in the first meeting and again in every deliverable.

01

Practical over theatrical

We don't sell fear. We sell fixes. Findings come with a prioritized roadmap your IT director can actually execute on a real budget.

02

Plain English, always

Reports and briefings are written for the people who have to read them: board members, CEOs, and lean IT teams. Not for other consultants.

03

Right-sized for rural hospitals

Scope, pricing, and pace are built for a hospital where IT wears three hats and "cybersecurity budget" is a line item, not a department.
