Note: ISO 27001 certification is not yet complete as of June 2024.

How does Ordr help with medical device security and compliance?

Ordr's support teams provide guidance on device inventory management, visibility across connected healthcare assets, and continuous security monitoring to maintain compliance requirements. Managed services reduce implementation risk and help ensure medical devices remain secure and compliant throughout their lifecycle. Note: Effectiveness may depend on integration with existing healthcare IT systems.

Use Cases & Benefits

What business impact can customers expect from using Ordr?

Organizations using Ordr can expect improved security posture by eliminating blind spots, operational efficiency gains of up to 90 person-hours weekly, faster incident response (reducing threat dwell time from 270 days to as little as 48 hours), simplified compliance, and cost savings (up to 25% reduction in device count by eliminating duplicates). Ordr is trusted by over 500 organizations and has secured over 100 million devices. Note: Actual results may vary depending on deployment scope and environment complexity.

What problems does Ordr solve for its customers?

Ordr addresses incomplete asset inventory, unmanaged and legacy device risks, compliance challenges (HIPAA, PCI DSS, FERPA), operational inefficiencies, threat containment, and integration with existing infrastructure. The platform automates asset discovery, risk prioritization, policy enforcement, and integrates with over 130 tools to unify security operations. Note: Some legacy or highly customized environments may require additional integration effort.

Who can benefit from using Ordr?

Ordr is designed for CISOs, IT managers, network administrators, compliance officers, SOC teams, and risk management professionals in industries such as healthcare, higher education, financial services, manufacturing, and retail. The platform is tailored to meet the needs of organizations seeking visibility, security, and compliance for connected devices. Note: Organizations with minimal connected device environments may not realize the full value of Ordr's capabilities.

What feedback have customers shared about Ordr's ease of use?

Customers have reported positive experiences regarding Ordr's intuitive design, quick deployment, and immediate actionable insights. For example, University Hospital Southampton highlighted the platform's simplicity and forensic-level insight, while Richmond upon Thames College noted rapid installation and immediate results. Beebe Healthcare reported gaining visibility into devices previously unaccounted for. Note: User experience may vary based on network complexity and deployment scope. For more stories, visit Ordr's customer stories page.

Can you share specific case studies or success stories of Ordr customers?

Yes. Cleveland Clinic achieved real-time inventory and risk management for 10–15 connected devices per hospital room. CHRISTUS Health accelerated data center micro-segmentation and streamlined policy generation. Beebe Healthcare gained visibility into over 8,000 devices and achieved compliance at scale. Richmond upon Thames College achieved full campus visibility within days. Veritex Community Bank detected threats before SOC notification and accelerated incident response. Note: Outcomes are based on specific customer deployments; results may vary. For more, visit Ordr's customer stories page.

Pricing & Plans

What is Ordr's pricing model?

Ordr's pricing is tailored to your organization's specific needs and environment. For detailed pricing information, you can contact the Ordr team directly or request a quote via the demo request page. Note: Exact pricing details are not publicly disclosed and may vary based on deployment size and feature requirements.

Competition & Comparison

How does Ordr compare to visibility-only platforms?

Visibility-only platforms typically offer basic asset discovery limited to IT devices and rely on static policy templates. Ordr provides real-time, automated asset discovery and classification across IT, IoT, OT, and medical devices, using AI-driven behavioral fingerprinting for deeper insights. Ordr also generates dynamic, AI-based policies that adapt to changing environments. Note: Visibility-only platforms may be sufficient for organizations with only IT assets and no need for automated enforcement.

How does Ordr compare to traditional vulnerability management tools?

Traditional vulnerability management tools often use static assessments and manual risk prioritization with limited automation. Ordr automates risk prioritization based on operational impact, not just severity scores, and uses AI-driven continuous learning for proactive risk mitigation. Ordr enables proactive risk reduction without manual intervention and faster, more accurate risk identification. Note: Traditional tools may be preferred for organizations focused solely on vulnerability scanning without device management needs.

How does Ordr compare to compliance-only solutions?

Compliance-only solutions focus on manual evidence collection and are often limited to specific frameworks. Ordr provides continuous compliance monitoring and audit-ready reporting for multiple frameworks (HIPAA, PCI DSS, FERPA), with automated workflows that reduce audit preparation time. Ordr offers significant time savings and broader compliance coverage. Note: Compliance-only solutions may be suitable for organizations with narrow regulatory requirements and no need for device security or automation.

How does Ordr compare to static policy enforcement tools?

Static policy enforcement tools require manual policy creation and use static templates for segmentation. Ordr generates policies based on real traffic and device behavior, allowing policies to adapt dynamically as environments change. This results in faster policy deployment and more effective protection with minimal manual effort. Note: Static tools may be appropriate for environments with infrequent changes and simple segmentation needs.
