MTS Secure framework

The MTS Secure framework puts security at the center of everything we do. With this holistic approach, you get best-practice security products, technologies, and procedures to address vulnerabilities at every layer of your IT infrastructure.

  • People: training, policies and procedures make your employees your first line of defense
  • Endpoints: protect every device—remote or onsite—with a range of industry-best tools
  • Applications: secure your critical applications on premise or in our HIPAA-compliant public or private cloud
  • Data: safeguard your patients’ and your organization’s critical data at rest and in transit
  • Network: monitor and shield your network with ever-evolving leading tools and technologies

Our end-to-end approach starts with security strategy based on our deep healthcare expertise, including HIPAA compliance and disaster recovery/business continuity (DR/BC) planning. And because we know that being prepared is an essential part of any security plan, MTS Secure is backed by our 24/7 security operations center (SOC) and incident response and forensic investigation teams.

HITRUST certification for HIPAA compliance and beyond

Security is in our DNA, starting with our HITRUST r2 risk-based certified cloud datacenters. HITRUST is the gold standard for compliance to HIPAA and more than 40 other global security standards.

The HITRUST certification process is long, intense, and rigorous, which is why we’re one of an elite group of IT services providers to accomplish it.

Unlike other security certifications that represent a single snapshot in time, our HITRUST certification incorporates over 400 security controls for which we have processes and evidence to prove ongoing compliance. What we learn from those controls informs everything we do, and every client engagement.

Your most sensitive data lives at endpoints such as workstations and servers, both on-premise and in the cloud.

And legacy signature-based anti-virus/anti-malware software can’t keep up with today’s sophisticated threats.

  • Protect your valuable PHI with the real-time autonomous capabilities in our industry-leading SentinelOne endpoint detection and response (EDR) services.
  • Detect potential threats in real time before they spread on the network
  • Use artificial intelligence (AI) to find anomalies and protect against cyberattacks in real time
  • Hunt for threats hiding in your network before a hacker can infect your environment
  • Enable rollback to prior version if needed

The MTS Managed SIEM service is an enterprise security platform that prevents, detects, investigates, and responds to advanced threats.

MTS Managed SIEM leverages best-of-breed technologies to hunt for threats, detect active adversaries, and react when an issue is found. The service provides comprehensive business protection 24/7/365 using our SOC 2-certified CyberOps Center of Excellence (CCOE) and includes the maintenance, management, and monitoring of the solution for platform health and security alerts.

Make sure your practice is covered even during extended hours or when providers are on call.

Our strategic alliance with cybersecurity industry leaders gives you the peace of mind of 24/7/365 protection.

Our managed IT services include our always-on network operations center (NOC) for monitoring alerts and support requests any time, all year long. And our U.S.-based, fully managed security operations center (SOC) ensures that any alerts are immediately addressed.

The MTS comprehensive EDR and SIEM services also include a computer security incident response team (CSIRT) should you need it. The CSIRT team provides incident response, digital forensics, ransomware mitigation, threat hunting, and cyber-resiliency services.

We stand up and maintain cloud environments that comply with the comprehensive set of security controls that make up the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) for HIPAA compliance.

Our experienced consultants can also help you prepare for and meet your HIPAA audit requirements and continue to improve your security posture over time.

HITRUST CSF is the gold standard and the benchmark against which organizations measure themselves when charged with safeguarding PHI. We can help you determine which cloud environment is best for your needs and ensure you can pass your first audit—and every audit after that.

People are the number one source of security and compliance breaches.

Our Phishing Simulation service tests and benchmarks your organization for risk, then periodically attempts to infiltrate your business and gain access to information and applications using social engineering techniques.

Training for your staff and providers helps them understand the risks and learn to identify hacking techniques so they’re not fooled into granting access to unauthorized people, systems, or applications.

We deploy a full and regularly updated set of cybersecurity technologies and services to stay ahead of threats.

Those include:

  • Next-generation firewall (NGFW) that extends traditional stateful inspection of incoming and outgoing network traffic with application awareness and control, integrated intrusion prevention, and cloud-delivered threat intelligence
  • Network intrusion detection system through our 24/7/365 SOC
  • Distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) monitoring to identify attacks, automatically re-route traffic, and filter out malicious data packets—typically within a minute of detection
  • Enterprise anti-virus and anti-malware software and monitoring
  • Web content filtering using Cisco Umbrella to secure Internet access, uncover current and emerging threats, and provide visibility across all devices, ports, and cloud services to prevent phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks
  • RDWeb Gateway and multifactor authentication (MFA) for secure remote access for users outside of the network
  • Full security risk assessment, vulnerability and pen testing, risk management, and data loss protection services
  • Encrypted storage, backups, and recovery service to meet your recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO)

Many healthcare organizations know they need the capabilities of a chief information security officer (CISO), but struggle to justify a full-time position.

Our virtual CISO can work with you to assess your security profile and help you define a plan for ongoing security and governance practices.

We can help you define a security maturity model, address compliance requirements, develop employee training strategies, and plan for disaster recovery and business continuity.
