“Fortified Health Security has been a really good partner with us and has really helped keep us on track. They have helped us to identify any vulnerabilities and then to close the loop where we identify those vulnerabilities. We meet frequently on different topics. The vendor has been really helpful in the area of charges. They are excellent at educating. Not all of us in healthcare are experts in this space, and there is a lot to learn. There are a lot of things changing, and the vendor has done a really good job of being a teacher when it comes to some of the more complicated, interconnected issues that have multiple impacts. They have really done a nice job of bringing us information and resources to help ensure that we are prepared as best we can. I don’t know how much more we could increase our use of managed security services. However, if there were new offerings that were beneficial to us, we certainly would use Fortified Health Security for those.”

“Fortified Health Security is very well versed in their area of expertise. I don’t stump them a whole lot. I don’t bring anything to the table that they aren’t familiar with or haven’t seen. That isn’t the case with a lot of our other firms. Fortified Health Security also anticipates my needs. I am working with them now on a project, and they are anticipating what we need. They are thinking ahead. That is the difference between a firm and a real partner. A real partner has accountability on their side and wants to meet us halfway. With a lot of other firms, we pay them, and they just do the minimum of their scope of work; they don’t think outside the box unless they can sell us something else. That is not Fortified Health Security’s model. Not every engagement is a sales opportunity. Every engagement is an opportunity to make us better. The firm’s goal is really to make us better”

“I wouldn’t go to anybody but Fortified Health Security for managed services. I probably wouldn’t even shop around. When we have a good relationship with a firm and are confident in them, then I don’t know why we would go anywhere else. We worked with a number of different companies before Fortified Health Security, and all of them were disappointing. Some of them were major national players or international players. There was no comparison at all. What sets Fortified Health Security apart is their focus on healthcare. With that limitation of scope, they don’t have to worry about manufacturing IoMT. They only have to worry about healthcare IoMT. That really does make a difference. Fortified Health Security’s understanding and appreciation of the healthcare industry goes much deeper than other firms we considered. The consultants from Fortified Health Security are great thought leaders. They are always thinking ahead.”
