Healthcare & Assisted Living Cybersecurity
Protecting Patient Trust, Privacy, and Continuity of Care - At a fraction of the cost.
In healthcare, assisted living facilities (ALF) and Continuous Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), trust is everything. Yet the same systems that deliver quality care — patient management platforms, EHRs, billing systems, and connected medical devices — are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals.
Executives in assisted living and healthcare organizations now face growing pressure from regulators, insurers, and patients to prove that sensitive data is protected and operations are resilient. A single ransomware event or vendor breach can halt admissions, disrupt care, and expose protected health information (PHI), leaving leadership accountable.
At Guarded Globe, we deliver CISO-level cybersecurity leadership without full-time cost, helping healthcare and assisted living facilities strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and maintain trust across every layer of care.

Patient Care Depends on Cyber Resilience
Modern care delivery depends on data availability, system reliability, and staff readiness.
Cybersecurity is no longer an IT function — it’s an essential part of patient safety and business continuity.
Your organization’s ability to admit residents, process billing, or deliver care depends on secure, reliable access to systems and patient data. Cyber incidents can disrupt that trust — leading to loss of life, liability exposure, and compliance violations.
Guarded Globe ensures your leadership team is prepared to anticipate, respond, and recover from cyber threats, while maintaining care operations and regulatory confidence.

At Guarded Globe, we understand that cybersecurity in healthcare is ultimately about protecting people, not just systems.
