RARE DISCOVERY LABS

Your EHR and PMS Run Operations
They Don't Prove Security Governance.

Most organizations assume EHR/PMS coverage means compliance is handled. But when regulators, enterprise buyers, insurers, or the board ask for evidence, they need governance proof beyond the platform. Rare Discovery Labs helps you close that gap quickly.

The Real Problem Behind the Tool Stack

EHR and PMS platforms support workflows. They do not replace governance, risk ownership, or audit evidence.

  • Regulators are tightening oversight.
  • Investors demand security maturity.
  • Enterprise customers require compliance proof.
  • Rural and community providers face growing cyber threats with limited internal capacity.

What teams discover during due diligence

EHR/PMS data exists, but control evidence is missing
Policies exist, but ownership and enforcement are unclear
Security work is technical, not governance-led
Audit prep becomes reactive and high-stress
Risk exposure is not clearly reported to leadership

The risk is not a missing tool. It is delayed revenue, failed audits, insurance friction, and board-level exposure.

Enterprise deals delayed 30–90+ days when security evidence is incomplete
Audit preparation consuming 100+ internal hours without a structured program
Cyber insurance premiums and exclusions increasing after weak control reviews
Leadership time diverted monthly into reactive compliance firefighting

How We Solve It

We don't replace your EHR/PMS — we operationalize the governance layer around it so executives can lead it and auditors can validate it.

Rare Discovery Labs delivers this through:

HIPAA Security Rule compliance
NIST-aligned risk programs
SOC 2 readiness and audit preparation
Security governance for healthcare environments
Executive-level cybersecurity advisory

We translate complex frameworks into practical governance, prioritized controls, and board-ready reporting.

We don't sell security tooling. We build executive confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

If we already use an EHR and PMS platform, are we already compliant?

EHR and PMS platforms support operational workflows, but they do not replace governance ownership, risk evidence, policy-control mapping, and executive reporting required for audit readiness.

What does Rare Discovery Labs do that internal IT teams usually do not cover?

Rare Discovery Labs translates regulatory requirements into governance-led security programs, including executive risk reporting, audit evidence readiness, and prioritized remediation roadmaps for healthcare environments.

How quickly can we become audit-ready?

Most organizations start seeing structure and measurable progress within the first 30 to 60 days, with the Regulatory Readiness Accelerator designed for a 4 to 6 month path to defensible audit readiness.

Do we need a full-time CISO to improve security governance?

Not always. The Fractional vCISO program provides executive-level cybersecurity leadership, board reporting, and regulator support without requiring full-time executive overhead.
