PhishFort for Heathcare Providers
Hospitals and care networks are prime targets for phishing, brand impersonation, and patient-facing fraud. One successful campaign can interrupt care, expose PHI, invite OCR scrutiny, and erode community trust.
PhishFort gives provider organizations a scalable, fully managed defense that protects patients and brand equity so they can focus on what matters: providing the best care.
Why Providers Choose PhishFort
Healthcare data is one of the most targeted sources of information because of it’s permanence in nature. Therefore, PhishFort prioritizes the hard stuff for healthcare providers so you can focus on what matters most: patient care.
Patient Safety & Continuity of Care First
External threats now blend fake patient portals, telehealth imposters, and social engineering of help desks to gain privileged access or harvest PHI. The U.S. health sector’s own cyber center (HC3) has warned specifically about AI-assisted social engineering of IT help desks and “ClickFix” phishing lures targeting clinicians and staff.
Built for Provider Workflows
We monitor domains, app stores, social channels, and dark-web venues for brand abuse targeting your patients and staff—then our analysts verify, escalate, and execute takedowns so your clinical teams can stay focused on care.
Compliance & Audit Alignment
PhishFort supports compliance obligations with evidence of rapid mitigation of external security threats that target patient data. We align with HHS 405(d) HICP practices and sector threat guidance.
Proven Speed When It Matters
From registrar to host to platform, we use established channels to remove malicious infrastructure, often within hours, reducing patient impact and financial exposure.
Monitoring for Patient Data
PhishFort’s dark web monitoring identifies exposed credentials, stolen medical records, and breached data before they can be weaponized—helping you safeguard PHI and maintain HIPAA’s strict privacy standards.

FAQs
Have some of the most commonly asked questions answered:
Beyond classic phishing, providers face fake patient portals, telehealth imposters, mHealth app clones, and social-engineering of IT help desks that exploit identity verification gaps (including AI-assisted voice spoofing). Business Email Compromise is also a major driver of financial loss via vendor-payment fraud and sensitive data requests. Sector alerts from HHS’s HC3 specifically call out help-desk social engineering and “ClickFix” lure campaigns, underscoring how quickly these tactics are evolving.
We detect brand abuse across domains, app stores, social platforms, and dark-web venues; validate findings with human analysts; blocklist confirmed threats so patients and staff are proactively protected; and execute takedowns through direct channels with registrars, hosts, and platforms. This compresses attacker dwell time, lowers credential-theft and fraud conversion, and provides audit-ready evidence that you acted promptly and effectively—key during OCR reviews and cyber-insurance renewals. (See HHS OCR breach-reporting environment for how incidents are tracked sector-wide.)
Traditional controls often don’t see the external infrastructure that deceives patients and staff—search ads, look-alike domains, cloned apps, and social profiles. PhishFort closes that gap by continuously monitoring the public attack surface and removing it at the source. For phishing that begins off-email (QR codes, SMS, social, voice), this is often the only way to stop patient-facing fraud before it reaches your population. Verizon’s DBIR snapshot also shows increased use of vulnerability exploitation and varied entry paths—another reason to reduce external lures themselves.
Most removals complete within hours once validated. For urgent cases (e.g., fraudulent donation drives, fake scheduling pages collecting PII, or high-volume ads), our team uses escalation paths with registrars, hosts, marketplaces, and social platforms to accelerate removal. We also update the PhishFort Blocklist immediately so browsers and security partners can deflect clicks while enforcement completes.
PhishFort is SOC 2 Type II audited and operates on data-minimization principles. Our reporting maps to HIPAA’s administrative/technical safeguards and 405(d) HICP practices (asset management, email/web protections, incident response). We provide evidence packages suitable for OCR inquiries, internal audits, and insurer questionnaires—demonstrating that you actively mitigate external, patient-facing risk sources.
Yes. We monitor app stores for counterfeit or trojanized mHealth apps and act to remove them. For connected-device ecosystems, we address brand-abuse infrastructure (fake download/support pages, spoofed update portals) that leads to compromise. Our work complements the FDA’s cybersecurity guidance for medical devices by reducing patient-facing deception in the ecosystem around the device.
Unfortunately, yes. The Change Healthcare incident now stands at ~192.7M individuals affected, illustrating the national-scale impact when external threat actors succeed against health-sector infrastructure. The fallout included widespread care-delivery disruption and enormous notification scope—an important reminder to reduce exposure wherever possible
