Mastering Momentum in Healthcare
Nothing is more important to Banyan Medical Solutions than protecting their customers’ data. They needed a trusted partner with proven expertise in healthcare technology solutions, so they turned to TEKsystems Global Services (TGS). We assessed and enhanced the AWS cloud security and governance framework to ensure alignment with evolving healthcare security standards, mitigating risk and providing their customers with peace of mind.
AWS Well-Architected Framework Review
Implementing Risk and Security Best Practices
Banyan Medical Solutions was the first to bring virtual nursing care to the healthcare industry. Impressive, right? Since 2008, they have transformed healthcare delivery through virtual nursing solutions. Hospitals and healthcare systems rely on the company’s proprietary platform, BanyanConnect, to integrate electronic medical records (EMRs), ensuring coordinated and efficient care for their patients. They built their flagship application on AWS to provide scalable, innovative patient care solutions.
As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, TGS brings deep expertise in cloud security and governance. By using AWS Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR), our team provided Banyan Medical Solutions with a structured roadmap to enhance security, mitigate risk and ensure compliance with industry standards. This gave them the confidence and tools to better secure EMR systems and protect sensitive patient data.
AWS’ Proven Security Framework
Prioritizing Compliance, Identity Management and System Reliance
A dedicated TGS practice architect (PA) worked alongside the Banyan Medical Solutions team to advise, evaluate and implement healthcare data security solutions to improve their AWS account structure. The first step? Conduct a WAFR to identify potential areas of improvement.
Based on the WAFR finding, our PA led the charge to reinforce best practices in the confidentiality and integrity of data while establishing controls to detect security events.
- Strengthen security and compliance by refining AWS cloud security posture to meet evolving industry standards.
- Implement best practices for governance, access control and system resilience.
- Enhance customers’ confidence by demonstrating a commitment to cloud security excellence.
Working with TEKsystems Global Services and AWS significantly reduced our time to market and, more importantly, allowed us to meet the strict security demands of our healthcare customers."
