For Healthcare

HIPAA-Compliant Disaster Recovery + DICOM Backup for Clinics

Healthcare is the #1 ransomware target. BigMind Resilience ships HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, deterministic ransomware detection, and a built-in DICOM viewer for imaging-heavy practices — at SMB pricing.

The risk

Thinner IT. Bigger exposure.

Healthcare is the most-targeted vertical for ransomware — the FBI's 2024 IC3 report puts roughly 30% of all reported incidents in the healthcare and public-health sector. Clinics, dental practices, and imaging centers get hit harder than hospitals because they run on thinner IT: usually one part-time tech, sometimes none.

The breach beats the ransom

A breach of 500+ patient records triggers the federal OCR notification process. Penalties stack into six figures fast, and the reputational damage to a referral-driven practice is permanent.

Imaging is large and cold

DICOM files — X-ray, CT, MRI — are large and infrequently accessed. Most backup products bill them as hot storage all year, even when nobody opens them.

PACS and EHR run 24/7

PACS servers run around the clock. EHR systems hold PHI that has to be encrypted, logged, and recoverable on a defined timeline.

Where BigMind Resilience fits

Six capabilities that matter for healthcare.

Not a generic backup repackaged for clinics — the pieces below are specifically what an imaging-heavy, HIPAA-bound practice needs.

DICOM & AI Lens

Read the DICOM tags — don't just store the file.

Most 'medical-grade' backup products treat DICOM like any other file: store it, hope you can find it. AI Lens Medical reads the tags directly, so you search by patient ID, study UID, modality (CT/MR/CR/US), and date — and render single- and multi-frame studies in the browser. No separate license, no separate viewer install.

  • Browser-based viewer with single- and multi-frame (cine) playback.
  • Search by patient ID, study UID, modality, or study date.
  • AI-assisted finding flags for clinician review — a clinical-workflow and retrieval companion, not a regulated diagnostic device.

Detection

The Canary fires before the encryption finishes.

If ransomware reaches a workstation, the Ransomware Canary alert fires mid-attack. The backup chain freezes automatically, so clean restore points stay intact while the incident plays out — deterministic, not AI-trained.

  • Decoy files are hashed and verified every backup; a tamper trips the alert.
  • No ML training period and no false positives — it is deterministic.
  • On alert, the backup chain freezes to preserve clean restore points.

Recovery

Five recovery paths, one dashboard.

Once the chain is frozen on a clean point, you pick how to come back. Always-Ready VM boots a warm AMI, Instant Recovery and USB Recovery handle full-system and cross-hardware restores, and Browse Files pulls back exactly what you need — all from a single console.

  • Always-Ready VM — a warm AMI ready to boot in minutes.
  • Instant Recovery and USB / cross-hardware recovery for full systems.
  • Browse Files for selective, file-level restore.

Compliance

WORM-immutable, audit-ready — built in.

Encryption, retention, and the audit trail are part of the platform, not an add-on you wire up. Full compliance documentation lives at the Security Center.

HIPAA-compliant infrastructure

BAA available on request to cover PHI on a cloud service.

AES-256 at rest · TLS 1.3 in transit

Encryption everywhere the data lives or moves.

WORM-immutable retention

Write-once storage for PHI integrity (Pro tier).

Audit log on every access

Per-record access trail, exportable for OCR audits.

SOC 2 Type II infrastructure

Independently audited operational controls.

Geo-redundant Continental Shield

Copies held across continents so one region can never be a single point of failure.

WORM-immutable, audit-ready storage with audit-log export — not pre-built HIPAA report templates. SOC 2 / HIPAA infrastructure details, BAA / DPA, and the sub-processor list are available at the Security Center.

Audit evidence

Recovery Plans turn a drill into HIPAA audit evidence.

Coming Q3 2026 to Resilience Pro: tag every machine in your practice — EHR servers, imaging workstations, scheduling, billing — into priority groups, then orchestrate the restore in the right order with verification gates between groups. Drill Mode tests it quarterly in an isolated VPC without production impact, and the drill report becomes the evidence OCR examiners want to see.

  • Priority groups so EHR and imaging come back first, in order.
  • Verification gates between groups before the next tier restores.
  • Quarterly Drill Mode in an isolated VPC — the report is your audit artifact.

Cost frame

Full healthcare DR for roughly $2,400/yr.

A 10-staff, single-server clinic, compared head to head. BigMind Resilience Pro includes DR, Canary, WORM, the DICOM viewer, and a BAA — without the per-device pricing or bolt-on antivirus the others bundle.

Recommended

BigMind Resilience Pro

~$2,400/yr · full DR, Ransomware Canary, WORM-immutable storage, the DICOM viewer, and a BAA — for 10 staff and one server.

Acronis Cyber Protect

Bundles antivirus that replaces what you already run, and prices per device rather than per user.

Veeam B&R + Windows Server CALs

DR only — no DICOM viewer and no ransomware canary. Needs a Windows Server license; no cloud-managed console.

FAQ

The questions clinics actually ask.

Straight answers on HIPAA, tiers, PACS, and platform support — no hedging.

  • Is it HIPAA-compliant? The infrastructure is HIPAA-compliant, we sign a BAA, PHI is encrypted at rest and in transit, and audit logs cover every access.
  • Do I need Pro for HIPAA? Standard ($10/user/mo) covers DR + Canary + audit log. Pro ($24/user/mo) adds WORM-immutable storage and AI Lens Medical (DICOM viewer) — recommended for clinics holding imaging.
  • Will it run our PACS? No. We back up DICOM files and let you view them; we do not replace a clinical PACS workstation.
  • What about macOS? Windows + Linux at launch; macOS DR is on the roadmap.
