Case Study: MemorialCare Health System achieves complete patient data protection with Check Point Software's Full Disk Encryption

Memorial Health Protects Patient Information with Check Point Full Disk Encryption

Memorial Health Services (MHS), a not-for-profit health system with five hospitals in Southern California, faced rising risk from missing laptops, increasing remote work, and regulatory pressures such as HIPAA and California’s SB 1386. The organization needed a fast, non‑intrusive way to protect large volumes of confidential patient data without major hardware changes or user disruption.

MHS deployed Check Point Full Disk Encryption enterprise-wide, using Windows Integrated Login for a transparent user experience and quick, low‑overhead rollout across existing Windows and Linux laptops. The solution delivered automatic, enforceable full‑disk protection, giving MHS peace of mind that lost or stolen devices would not expose patient records, and established a policy to encrypt all new laptops while enabling further work on port and media controls.
