Security and compliance that respect how care is actually delivered
We work with outpatient practices and small groups because the same adversaries, ransomware economics, and HIPAA rules that apply to a hospital also apply to you-usually with a fraction of the headcount, no 24/7 SOC, and more dependence on a handful of vendors. Our work is to make your security program explainable, proportional, and provable when a patient, partner, or investigator asks for more than a vendor logo.
Built for care workflows—not generic "vertical" IT
Most product-led security companies sell a stack, then look for a healthcare logo to put on the slide. Velari starts with your flow of care, documentation, money, and data.
We are explicit about a trade: we will not "audit" you by poking at patient records. The Security Rule cares about the strength and behavior of your environment—and that is what we test.
"A certificate in a drawer is not a program your staff will run in a bad week."
Concrete outputs—not a static PDF that ages in a drawer
You should be able to hand a regulator, insurer, or a concerned patient's counsel a coherent story with evidence.
Privacy-preserving by design
Assessments lean on how systems, accounts, and vendors are designed and used—not on re-identifying patients in a chart. That is better for you and for the people who trust you with their health data.
Levers in the right order
We look for the smallest changes that move risk the most first—identity, recovery, and access you can test—so budget and time go where it matters, not to shelf-ware that never gets deployed.
Two languages, one roadmap
Owners and clinicians get plain, decision-ready language. IT, MSP, and EHR support get the specifics they need. No dueling "security program" and "reality of the network" stories when something goes wrong.
Honest severity, honest sequencing
Ranked risks with a straight answer on likelihood and business impact, so you can make trade-offs in the open with your team and your board, not in the middle of an emergency.
Concrete outputs-not a static PDF that ages in a drawer
You should be able to hand a regulator, insurer, or a concerned patient's counsel a coherent story with evidence-this is the control, this is how we operate it, this is when it was last tested. We structure our work to match that: summary for leadership, detail for people who make changes, and a trail you can maintain on a real-world calendar, not a fantasy of weekly committee meetings you do not have.
Sample risk snapshot (illustrative)
Leaders get a one-page heat map. Underneath, each line ties a finding to severity, HIPAA relevance, owner, and target date. Every row is something you can discuss in a 15-minute huddle, not a mystery ticket.
LLM use in notes, letters, and intake; no org-approved list or DLP alignment
Backup immutability, offsite, and a tested restore for EHR / imaging not on record
BAAs, remote access, and break-glass accounts not on a review cadence
Annual "check the box" training, not linked to the risks that actually appear in the inbox
HIPAA crosswalk
Administrative, technical, and physical controls mapped the way the Security Rule and OCR guidance are usually read, with a clear line from each gap to a planned remediation. When someone says "show us your program," you are not rummaging in four tools for screenshots.
AI & acceptable use in plain policy
Which tools are in or out, what must never be pasted to a public model, how contractors are covered, and what new staff attest to-so "we did not know the rule" is not your position after an event.
Remediation and vendor cadence
30/60/90-style work with who signs, who is blocked on the vendor, and when to re-check access after a major upgrade. It is a runbook, not a one-time slide of good intentions.
Incident & downtime playbooks
What happens in the first few hours of ransomware, a cloud outage, or a suspected account takeover-who calls whom, in what order, and how to preserve evidence. Your patients feel this as how long care is delayed, not an abstraction.
