How does Ordr compare to compliance-only solutions?

Compliance-only solutions focus on manual evidence collection and are 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. Note: Compliance-only solutions may be preferable for organizations with narrow compliance needs and no requirement for device-level enforcement.

How does Ordr compare to static policy enforcement tools?

Static policy enforcement tools require manual policy creation and rely on static templates for segmentation. Ordr generates policies based on real traffic and device behavior, adapting dynamically as environments change. Note: Static tools may be preferable for organizations with highly stable environments and manual policy requirements.

How does ORDR discover medical devices without agents or active scanning?

ORDR uses passive network traffic analysis to identify and profile medical devices based on how they communicate on the network — without installing software on devices or sending any traffic that could affect their operation. This works safely for infusion pumps, imaging systems, patient monitors, and other clinical equipment that cannot support agents and cannot tolerate active scanning.

Will segmentation policies disrupt clinical workflows or patient care?

No. ORDR validates every segmentation policy against real clinical network traffic before enforcement. You see exactly which communication flows a policy would affect — including care-critical device interactions — so you can confirm safety before any policy is applied. Patient safety is never compromised for security.

How does ORDR help with HIPAA compliance for connected medical devices?

ORDR continuously monitors all connected devices and maps control status to HIPAA Security Rule requirements — including access controls, audit logging, integrity protections, and transmission security.

The Challenge

Connected Devices Are the New Clinical Risk

Healthcare delivers care through networks of connected devices that were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. Infusion pumps, imaging systems, patient monitors, and clinical workstations are mission-critical — and most are invisible to standard security tools.

Traditional IT security tools either can't see these devices or can't interact with them safely. The result is a massive, unmonitored attack surface in the most sensitive possible environment — where a breach doesn't just cost money, it endangers patients.

Threat Type	Impact on Healthcare	Why It's Critical
Ransomware targeting clinical systems	Encrypts EHR systems, imaging infrastructure, and connected devices — halting care delivery and forcing costly manual workarounds	Healthcare is the most targeted sector for ransomware, with average recovery costs exceeding $10M per incident
Unmanaged IoMT attack surface	The average hospital has 10–15 connected devices per bed — most unmanaged, unmonitored, and running legacy firmware	Most clinical devices can't run agents and can't tolerate active scanning, leaving them invisible to traditional security tools
Legacy OS and unpatched medical devices	78% of connected medical devices run end-of-life operating systems that can't receive security patches	Known vulnerabilities on unpatched devices are actively exploited — and device manufacturers often can't provide timely fixes
Lateral movement to clinical networks	A compromised workstation or imaging system can provide an attacker path to patient monitors, infusion pumps, and critical clinical systems	Clinical networks aren't segmented from enterprise IT in most hospitals — one breach can reach patient-safety devices
HIPAA compliance gaps	Missing controls on ePHI-adjacent systems, insufficient access monitoring, and incomplete risk assessments create regulatory exposure	HHS OCR fines for HIPAA violations have exceeded $100M in recent years — and audits can follow any breach
