Achieved compliance with HIPAA and international privacy/data protection regulations for all sites
Provided IT management and security for over 500 endpoints across multiple countries
The Client
The client is a leading, privately held medical supplies company specializing in wound care and skin protection products. The client has a global presence, with offices, manufacturers and distribution centers across five continents.
The Challenge
Before engaging Withum, the client worked with a Managed Services Provider (MSP) that provided limited security services and withheld critical access information, limiting visibility and control over their IT environment. As the company entered a period of rapid global expansion, the need for a partner that could deliver both advanced security and scalable IT management became clear. At the same time, the company faced urgent infrastructure demands, including a corporate headquarters relocation and the rollout of 21 new U.S. locations in under 60 days. The client also needed to address regulatory compliance across multiple countries, including HIPAA in the U.S. and evolving privacy and data protection laws in Canada, the UK and beyond.
To support this growth, the client engaged Withum to not only design and deploy secure infrastructure quickly but also provide ongoing IT and security management, compliance expertise and a co-managed model that worked seamlessly with their in-house IT team.
The Approach and Solution
Withum’s Cybersecurity team partnered with the client to create a co-managed IT and security model that could scale with the company’s global expansion while working alongside its in-house IT team. The engagement began with the design and deployment of secure infrastructure at the client’s new corporate headquarters. This pilot initiative validated Withum’s expertise and led to the rapid rollout of 21 new U.S. sites in under 60 days. Withum then extended support to Canada and the UK, redesigning and upgrading network infrastructure to establish consistent security and performance across regions.
Today, Withum provides the client with both day-to-day IT management and advanced project solutions, which include automated incident response, support for Microsoft Intune and Azure, and backup of all critical data (PCs, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive). Withum’s Cybersecurity team provides real-time alerting and response through its Security Operations Center, while consultants ensure compliance with HIPAA and international privacy laws.
