Case Study: Henry County Hospital achieves HIPAA compliance and saves up to $40,000 annually with Netwrix Auditor

Henry County Hospital Proves HIPAA Compliance and Saves up to $40,000 Annually

Henry County Hospital, a charitable community hospital in Napoleon, Ohio, must undergo annual HIPAA risk assessments because it collects and uses protected health information (PHI). With a small four-person IT team, the hospital needed better visibility into privileged user activity and permission changes across Active Directory, Group Policy and file servers to prevent insider threats and avoid costly fines or deeper OCR audits.

The hospital deployed Netwrix Auditor to monitor AD, GPO and Windows file servers, including alerts, daily change reports, interactive searches and video recording of privileged sessions. This increased accountability, allowed a complete rebuild of file server permissions to limit access to sensitive data, streamlined audit preparation and saved the hospital up to $40,000 annually while ensuring PHI security and HIPAA compliance.
