A Top Healthcare Provider Transforms Data Security Management

A leading healthcare provider faced challenges managing sensitive patient data on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). As the platform grew, so did concerns about data security and regulatory compliance, particularly with HIPAA. Scalence stepped in to migrate their services to a secure private cloud for improved control and security.

Growing Security and Compliance Risks

The healthcare provider struggled with GCP’s shared environment, which did not offer the stricter access controls and data residency required for HIPAA compliance. They needed a private cloud to enhance data protection and meet regulatory demands while maintaining efficiency.

Smooth Migration to a Secure Private Cloud

Scalence collaborated with the client to create a migration plan focused on security and compliance for a smooth transition to a secure private cloud. The roadmap was designed to ensure minimal downtime, while the private cloud was built to comply with HIPAA, incorporating strong access controls and audit capabilities.

To provide dedicated isolation, the infrastructure was deployed in the client’s on-premises data centers and a trusted cloud provider. Additionally, custom security protocols such as encryption, logging, and granular access control were implemented to address the client’s specific needs. Thorough performance and security tests were conducted to ensure a seamless switch from GCP.

Better Control, Compliance, and Security

The cloud migration led to significant improvements for the healthcare provider, starting with enhanced data security, giving them full control over data residency and access policies to ensure top-level protection. Additionally, they achieved regulatory compliance with HIPAA and industry standards through customizable governance. This transition also enabled better operational control over their infrastructure, allowing for a more tailored cloud environment.
