Case Study: Grupo Recoletas inspects 100% of SSL/TLS encrypted traffic at scale without performance penalty with Fortinet

Growing Healthcare Provider Inspects Encrypted Traffic at Scale

Grupo Recoletas, a major private hospital group in Spain with multiple hospitals, medical centers and diagnostic facilities, needed to secure and inspect sensitive patient data to meet GDPR and Spain’s LOPDGDD rules. With about 80% of its network traffic encrypted—and critical systems like SAP and medical imaging driving volumes—the IT team required a way to inspect all SSL/TLS traffic without the typical performance hit and had to demonstrate clear ROI, scalability and ease of deployment.

They implemented a joint Corsa and Fortinet virtual solution—Corsa’s turnkey Network Security Virtualization Platform (with in-line load balancing and orchestration) plus FortiGate VM, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. The platform deployed in minutes with no topology changes, enabled 100% SSL/TLS inspection with zero throughput degradation, cut solution costs by 3–4x versus big-box alternatives, and reduced deployment labor by roughly €43,700 across 23 sites, delivering scalable, centrally managed compliance and improved security posture.
