Four-Time Best in KLAS Winner Delivers Critical IR Plan Access When Healthcare Organizations Need It Most. During Network Outages
BRENTWOOD, TN., [DATE], 2025 – Fortified Health Security (Fortified), a four-time Best in KLAS managed security services provider (MSSP) specializing in healthcare cybersecurity, today announced the launch of its Incident Response Program Module within the Central Command platform. This new module ensures healthcare organizations can access their complete incident response playbooks, contacts , and critical procedures directly from mobile devices even when networks are down, and traditional systems are inaccessible.
Fortified’s mobile-focused approach with Central Command has been helping overstretched security teams become more efficient and less constrained to their desks. This furthers that impact by ensuring security and IT teams can manage their incident response programs, track and evaluate readiness, and respond immediately to an incident no matter where they are, with all critical plans and related information in the palm of their hands.
“When ransomware hits at 2 a.m. on a Saturday and your network is down, you can’t access that PDF sitting on your file server,” said Dan L. Dodson, Chief Executive Officer at Fortified. “Our Incident Response Program in Central Command solves this fundamental challenge by making your entire IR plan accessible on your phone, ready to execute the moment an incident is declared.”
Mobile Access Transforms IR Response Speed
The Incident Response Module delivers several critical advantages:
- Always-On Availability: Access complete IR plans, runbooks, and contact trees from any mobile device, independent of organizational network status
- Real-Time Updates: Monthly readiness reviews ensure plans reflect current systems, personnel, and procedures, effectively eliminating the “stale plan” problem that plagues traditional IR programs
- Immediate Activation: Declare incidents and activate response protocols instantly from mobile devices, reducing critical response time
- Offline Resilience: Unlike traditional IR plans stored on organizational networks, Central Command’s cloud-based architecture remains accessible even if a healthcare provider has a complete network outage
- Role-Based Workflows: Customized views ensure each team member sees exactly what they need during response
