Cybersecurity and Compliance Built to Cover Every Milestone That Matters
Clearwater eliminates the cybersecurity and compliance gaps standing between digital health companies and their mission to transform patient care, streamline operations, and reshape how healthcare works.
THE GROWTH PROBLEM
Digital Health Has the Innovation. Not Always the Expertise to Protect It.
Prevent Gaps from Showing Up at the Worst Possible Moment.
Building a digital health company means facing enterprise-grade security scrutiny at every stage of your growth. Your first covered entity wants a signed HIPAA risk analysis. Your first enterprise client needs a security questionnaire answered before procurement will move. Your investors are asking harder questions at every round. And your team is already stretched thin just delivering the product.
Piecing together a compliance program from a platform subscription, AI-generated policies, and disconnected vendors results in a program full of gaps that surface at exactly the wrong moment. In a procurement review, an investor diligence call, or an OCR inquiry.
ClearAdvantage Launchpad
ClearAdvantage Foundation is the managed security and compliance program built specifically for digital health companies. A healthcare-native, expert-led program with a named Clearwater vCISO leading the work, signing the risk analysis, and standing beside your team through every covered-entity conversation, enterprise security review, and investor diligence call.
The program scales in three stages, each building on the last, so you are never rebuilding from scratch at the next funding round or certification milestone.
Start
HIPAA alignment, OCR-quality risk analysis, foundational policies, vulnerability management, endpoint protection, and an investor-ready security narrative. Compliant and covered-entity ready from day one.
Growth
Everything in Start plus fractional vCISO hours, SOC 2 Type II readiness and certification, vendor risk management, enterprise security questionnaire support, and continuous monitoring. Actively managed and enterprise-ready.
Scale
Everything in Growth plus HITRUST e1/r2 certification, AI governance aligned to ISO 42001, board and investor reporting, and M&A diligence support. Certified and security-mature.

WHAT COMPANIES ARE LOOKING TO ACHIEVE
“We are building a digital health platform that will handle protected health information (PHI). We’d like a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment to evaluate our application, cloud infrastructure, and administrative safeguards. We’d also like a gap analysis with prioritized recommendations so we can remediate any critical issues before launch.”
MORE SERVICES FOR SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
Managed Security Services
A breach in a digital health company is not just a security incident. It is a covered-entity relationship at risk, a stalled procurement deal, and an investor conversation that just got harder. Clearwater’s managed security services give digital health companies the always-on protection that enterprise clients and covered entities expect without the security headcount of a health system.
Our 24/7 security operations center monitors every endpoint, manages firewall and log management, and responds to threats in real time. Powered by industry-leading EDR tools and Clearwater’s proprietary security orchestration. Our average response time to security events is under 5 minutes.

- Cloud security posture management for fast-moving DevOps environments

Compliance & Certification Services
A compliance gap in a digital health company is not just a documentation problem. It is a covered-entity deal that stalls in procurement, an investor diligence call that goes sideways, and an OCR inquiry you were not prepared for. Clearwater’s compliance and certification services give digital health companies the expert-validated solutions without the full-time compliance headcount of a health system.
Our named vCISO leads your program from day one, signs your OCR-quality risk analysis, and manages the compliance workstreams that move your business forward.

Cloud Security and Risk Management
Digital health companies build fast, deploy in the cloud, and scale with every release. Every deployment changes your environment, and every change introduces the potential for new misconfigurations, HIPAA exposures, and compliance gaps that a stretched team cannot always catch. From design and migration to DevOps security consulting and continuous monitoring, Clearwater keeps your cloud environment secure, compliant, and aligned to what covered entities and enterprise clients expect at every stage of your growth.
Key Benefits
- Identifies cloud misconfigurations and HIPAA exposures before a covered entity or auditor does with cloud security posture management
- Maps your shared responsibility obligations so nothing falls through the gap between you and your cloud provider and feeds into compliance management
- 24/7 healthcare-focused security operations center monitoring your Microsoft Azure and hybrid cloud environment around the clock, detecting and responding to threats before they become breaches or business disruptions that can derail your mission
