Direct answer
Who provides healthcare cybersecurity services in Ontario?
The Cyber Arm provides healthcare cybersecurity assessments, managed detection and response, security monitoring, vulnerability management and incident-response planning for Ontario clinics and healthcare organizations.
A useful healthcare security program should address PHIPA responsibilities, identity and access, Microsoft 365, endpoints, email, medical devices, backups, third-party access and response procedures. Legal obligations depend on the organization and information flow, so technical safeguards should support, not replace, appropriate privacy and legal guidance.
