Case Study: Leading Health Insurer achieves scalable database security and HIPAA compliance with Trustwave

Leading Health Insurer - Customer Case Study

The Leading Health Insurer, with over 50,000 employees, billions in revenue and millions of customers, needed to protect databases holding personal health records and meet HIPAA, HITECH and other regulatory requirements. Auditors had uncovered multiple database vulnerabilities, and steady growth through acquisition plus the addition of Microsoft SQL instances made manual assessment of users, roles and privileges unmanageable across a large estate—so they engaged Trustwave, using Trustwave AppDetectivePRO and Trustwave DbProtect, to proactively identify and remediate risks before audits.

Trustwave implemented AppDetectivePRO for ad hoc scans and remote risk evaluation and deployed DbProtect for scalable vulnerability and rights management, including a fully automated weekly weak‑password check across the insurer’s entire database portfolio. The solution delivered consistent, actionable reporting for remediation tracking, standardized database security across over 2,500 databases, simplified HIPAA/HITECH compliance and reduced the time and effort required to prepare for audits.
