Mumbai, July 2025 – After a string of privacy scares, one large rehabilitation provider finally committed to safeguarding patient records. They called in Hurix Digital to design a security system that meets NIST standards. This is the same framework the US government uses.
Healthcare providers handle sensitive patient information every day. Medical records, insurance details, treatment plans, etc., need protection. When hackers target healthcare systems, real people suffer. This rehabilitation provider knew they needed better security before something bad happened.
The provider runs multiple facilities across several states. Each location collects patient data. Therapists update records. Administrators process insurance claims. Billing departments handle payments. All these systems need to talk to each other while keeping data safe. That’s where things get complicated.
NIST compliance isn’t just about checking boxes. The National Institute of Standards and Technology created these guidelines because data breaches cost millions and destroy trust. Healthcare providers especially need this level of security. Patient information is gold for cybercriminals.
Nitesh Kumar, Vice President and Strategic Business Unit Head – Cloud Services, Hurix Digital, shared his thoughts on the project: “Healthcare providers juggle patient care and data security every single day. This rehabilitation provider came to us because they understood the importance of NIST compliance. We built them a security system that protects real patients. When therapists log in at 6 AM to check patient notes, they know that the data is safe. That peace of mind matters.”
Hurix Digital started by mapping every place data lives in the organization. Patient intake forms. Therapy session notes. Insurance communications. Payment processing systems. Each touchpoint needed security measures that matched NIST requirements.
The technical work took months. Firewalls and encryption protocols were set by engineers. They established access control measures in such a manner that only genuinely authorized personnel had access to patient records. Multi-factor authentication was made obligatory. Routine security audits were added to the system.
Training was as important as technology. Employees got to know why they cannot have a shared password or leave computers with unlocked screens. The IT department obtained comprehensive information about how to sustain the security standards. Each of them was aware of his or her responsibility to safeguard patient information.
This NIST compliance project matters beyond one rehabilitation provider. Healthcare organizations everywhere face the same pressures. Protect patient data. Meet regulatory requirements. Keep operations running smoothly. Do it all on a budget. Hurix Digital proved it’s possible.
For healthcare organizations ready to upgrade their security, Hurix Digital offers cloud security services.
