Patient trust and regulatory control have made data compliance one of the most critical themes in 2025. Healthcare breaches not only cost millions, they also threaten your reputation and ability to operate legally. SPS Health specializes in data governance, privacy protection, compliance auditing and can help you stay secure and audit-ready under HIPAA, PHIPA and PIPEDA.
Why Data Compliance Isn’t Optional
Healthcare continues to face the highest breach costs of any sector. According to IBM’s 2024 and 2025 Cost of a Data Breach reports, the average breach in healthcare ranged from $9.77M to $7.42M, significantly outpacing the global average of $4.44M. In the U.S., data breach costs even reached a record $10.22M in 2025. Data breaches in March 2025 alone affected over 1.5 million patients, showing major network vulnerabilities across practices.
Meanwhile, cyberattacks surged 38% year-over-year in 2025, with unpatched software and unsecured third-party integrations leading most incidents.
Non-compliance brings serious repercussions. U.S. enforcement actions spiked dramatically in 2025: over 35% of major healthcare breaches now involve third-party vendors, putting partner compliance at the forefront. In Canada, breach reporting is becoming stricter incidents must be reported within 24 hours under evolving PIPEDA mandates
