About MedicineOne
MedicineOne develops innovative software solutions for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers. With deployments spanning four continents, the company delivers both on-premises and cloud-based platforms that improve patient safety, streamline operations, and empower medical professionals with real-time insights. As the healthcare industry increasingly moves toward digital transformation, secure and compliant cloud infrastructure is essential for MedicineOne’s success.
Executive Summary
MedicineOne, a leading Portuguese health-tech company, provides advanced clinical management software to healthcare facilities worldwide. With sensitive patient data and critical decision-support systems hosted in the cloud, security and compliance are top priorities. To enhance its security posture, MedicineOne partnered with Magic Beans to implement a robust AWS security framework. By deploying AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, WAF, KMS, and CloudTrail, MedicineOne achieved a higher level of threat detection, compliance management, and data protection—ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of its cloud-based healthcare solutions.
Customer Challenge
As MedicineOne operates in a highly regulated environment where data privacy, security, and compliance are non-negotiable. The company faced several key challenges:
- Strict compliance requirements: Adhering to global healthcare regulations (GDPR, HIPAA) while expanding cloud-based services.
- Protection of sensitive patient data: Ensuring encrypted storage and secure transmission of medical records.
- Real-time threat detection and mitigation: Identifying and responding to potential cyber threats before they compromise patient information.
- Securing cloud-hosted applications: Protecting web-based healthcare solutions from external threats like SQL injection, bot attacks, and DDoS.
- Auditable security practices: Maintaining detailed security logs to track user activities and system changes.
A breach or compliance failure could result in severe financial and reputational damage, legal consequences, and compromised patient safety.
