Case Study: a leading healthcare RCM company enhances PHI safeguards with Symmetry Systems

Top Healthcare RCM Company reduces PHI risk by uncovering 40 unknown accounts with Symmetry

a top healthcare RCM company faced significant data security challenges stemming from years of aggressive mergers and acquisitions. This led to data sprawl and privilege creep, leaving sensitive PHI and PCI data exposed across fragmented cloud environments. The company needed a solution that could provide comprehensive visibility and control over data access to meet HIPAA and PCI DSS 4.0 requirements, leading them to partner with Symmetry Systems and deploy its DSPM platform.

Symmetry's solution delivered within the customer's own environment, providing unmatched classification accuracy and comprehensive coverage of their data stores. The results were immediate and impactful: Symmetry identified 40 unknown internal accounts, 190 dormant service accounts, and reduced access to over 5,000 files containing PHI. This significantly reduced the company's attack surface, improved its security posture, and generated substantial cost savings.
