Case Study: Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston achieves a secure, HIPAA-compliant, high-performance network with Fortinet

Security7 Helps OCB Realize their Vision of a Secure and Reliable Network

Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston (OCB) is a multi-site healthcare practice serving about 150,000 patients annually with seven clinic locations and three surgical centers. Facing an aging network that risked HIPAA/HITECH compliance, reliability and scalability — and with a small IT team — OCB sought a secure, resilient solution to reduce downtime and support growth.

Security7 designed and deployed a Fortinet-based solution across ten locations using FortiGate appliances, FortiAPs, FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer and ManageWerx monitoring, with active-passive high-availability pairs and dual WANs for redundancy. The rollout delivered simpler centralized policy and Wi‑Fi management, stronger security and compliance reporting, and a large performance boost (FortiGate-100D units running >2 Gbps), which OCB and Security7 said provided dramatically better reliability and price-to-performance.
