Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work with our current IT provider or Managed Service Provider (MSP)?
Absolutely. We are designed to be a dedicated cybersecurity partner, not a replacement for your existing IT support. We work collaboratively with your current IT team or MSP, focusing purely on the security layer. Our team will coordinate directly with your IT contact to ensure a smooth, seamless deployment of our security agents and logging collectors without disrupting their operations. We augment their IT management with enterprise-grade security monitoring and response.
What makes Health Core Security different from a standard IT company?
Our focus is exclusively on cybersecurity for Canadian healthcare. While a traditional IT provider’s primary role is to ensure your systems are operational (keeping computers running, managing email), our sole mission is to protect your practice from cyber threats. We provide 24/7 monitoring from a Security Operations Center (SOC), proactive threat hunting, and expert incident response—capabilities that go far beyond the scope of standard IT management.
Is your service compliant with Canadian privacy laws like PHIPA/PIPEDA?
Yes. Compliance is at the core of our service design. Our entire infrastructure is hosted on AWS servers located within Canada, ensuring your data maintains residency. Our security controls are independently audited and certified against SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 standards. Furthermore, our platform, leveraging technology from partners like Cribl, can be configured to manage and secure log data in a way that aligns with your specific compliance obligations under provincial and federal privacy laws.
How do you collect security information from our on-premise computers and servers?
We use a lightweight, powerful endpoint agent (the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor) that is installed on each of your computers and servers. This single agent provides a wide range of visibility, collecting telemetry on process activity, network connections, and user behavior. It uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and behavioral analysis to detect threats directly on the endpoint, allowing it to stop attacks like ransomware even if the device is disconnected from the network. It is highly efficient and will not slow down your clinical operations.
How do you monitor our cloud services like Microsoft 365 or our cloud-based EMR?
We use secure, API-driven log collectors. For services like Microsoft 365, we establish a secure, read-only connection to ingest the security and audit logs. For cloud infrastructure (like AWS or Azure), we configure native logging services to forward their data to our central security platform (SIEM). This gives our 24/7 SOC analysts a unified view of threats across both your on-premise and cloud environments.
What is a SOC, and what does it do for my practice?
A SOC, or Security Operations Center, is a centralized team of cybersecurity experts who monitor an organization’s IT environment 24/7. Our SOC, powered by our certified partner Vijilan, is the human element behind our technology. When our platform detects a potential threat, it creates an alert that is immediately investigated by a human analyst. Their job is to triage the alert, determine if it’s a real threat, and if so, take immediate action to contain and neutralize it, such as isolating an infected computer from the network to stop a ransomware attack from spreading.
Will the deployment process cause downtime for our clinic?
No. The deployment process is designed to be seamless with zero disruption to your daily operations. The endpoint agent can be deployed silently and remotely by your existing IT provider in the background. The setup of log collection from cloud services and network devices is also non-intrusive.
What does the onboarding process look like?
No. The deployment process is designed to be seamless with zero disruption to your daily operations. The endpoint agent can be deployed silently and remotely by your existing IT provider in the background. The setup of log collection from cloud services and network devices is also non-intrusive.
What does the onboarding process look like?
Our onboarding is a structured, professional process:
- Kick-off Call: A dedicated onboarding specialist will meet with you and your IT contact to confirm the scope and schedule the deployment.
- Agent Deployment: We provide your IT team with the lightweight agent and clear instructions for a silent, remote deployment across your endpoints.
- Log Source Configuration: We work with your IT team to configure firewalls, servers, and cloud services to forward logs to our platform.
- Tuning & Baselin-ing: For the first 1-2 weeks, our SOC team tunes the system to understand the normal rhythm of your practice, reducing false positives and ensuring alerts are meaningful.
- Onboarding Completion: We schedule a final call to provide you with access to your client portal, review the initial findings, and formally transition your account to our continuous monitoring team.
How do we contact you for support?
You will have multiple avenues for support. For non-urgent technical questions or requests, you can use the ticketing system within your secure client portal. For any urgent security concerns, you will have a direct line to our support team and, for critical incidents, our 24/7 SOC.
Are there any hidden fees or setup costs?
No. Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. The per-user/per-month fee for your chosen plan covers all software licensing, 24/7 monitoring, and support. There are no separate setup fees for standard onboarding.
What is the contract term? Can we change our plan?
We offer flexible contract terms, with both monthly and annual options available. You can save up to 17% with an annual commitment. You can upgrade your plan at any time, and you can request to downgrade at the end of your current billing cycle.
What happens if we face a major cybersecurity incident?
Our “Advanced” and “Ultimate” plans include expert-led incident response and remediation. If a major incident occurs, our SOC team will take immediate action to contain the threat. We will work directly with your team and IT provider, guiding you through every step of the recovery process. Our goal is to restore your operations as quickly and safely as possible.
