At A Glance:
- Key Challenge: Wondr Health was looking to ensure enhanced cloud security and achieve HITRUST Certification in the midst of migrating to a serverless infrastructure, all while managing a lean technology team.
- Solution Provided: ClearDATA’s MDR Essentials for enhanced security, AWS infrastructure management, and the HITRUST Inheritance program, and support in getting HITRUST Certification while rolling out a new serverless infrastructure.
- Outcome: Robust security posture, compliance adherence that attracts new customers and spurs the company’s growth, improved client trust, and a scalable, future-ready infrastructure.
When Wondr Health set out to redefine metabolic and emotional health through their innovative weight-loss platform, they faced a daunting challenge that could make or break their mission. With over 275,000 active participants, the company built a reputation for delivering impactful, evidence-based solutions. Safeguarding sensitive cloud data and meeting rigorous compliance standards? Non-negotiables.
“We understand the importance of protecting client data and meeting compliance requirements,” says Greg Shapley, SVP of Information Technology & Security at Wondr Health, “but as a lean tech team, we needed a partner that could lighten that load without compromising quality or security.”
To support their rapid growth, they needed to achieve and maintain HITRUST Certification, a critical factor for securing partnerships with healthcare payers and providers. Additionally, with their lean technology team, building an in-house security operation wasn’t feasible.
At the same time, they were transitioning their platform to a serverless AWS infrastructure. This required not only a future-ready technical overhaul but also a commitment to compliance and robust security at every stage.
“ClearDATA’s Inheritance program cut the complexity
of HITRUST Certification in half.”
A Partnership That Instills Confidence
For Wondr, working with ClearDATA became much more than selecting a new cloud vendor – it translated to a full extension of their in-house team.
“As soon as we started working with ClearDATA, it became clear they understood our unique challenges,” Shapley explains. “Their approach not only met our compliance needs but also aligned perfectly with our goal of ensuring long-term scalability.”
ClearDATA tackled Wondr’s critical needs on multiple fronts. Threat detection and proactive security were implemented with their MDR Essentials package, providing round-the-clock monitoring and ensuring any cloud vulnerabilities were swiftly addressed. This effort elevated Wondr Health’s confidence in the platform’s security.
“The proactive security monitoring from ClearDATA gave us peace of mind,” Shapley shares. “We didn’t have to worry about potential threats slipping through the cracks – they had us covered every step of the way.”
HITRUST Certification was another priority for Greg and his team at Wondr. The ClearDATA HITRUST Inheritance program both simplified and accelerated the process of achieving this valuable certification, saving Wondr significant resources and time along the way.
“Achieving HITRUST Certification was a game-changer for us,” Shapley. “ClearDATA’s Inheritance program cut the complexity in half. It freed us to focus on building our platform while still meeting the rigorous demands of HITRUST Certification.”
Wondr Health is moving to a serverless infrastructure model built on ECS and Fargate. They needed an MDR solution that could support this new infrastructure. ClearDATA’s MDR Essentials meets that change without sacrificing its security posture.
“We needed a security solution that could change with us,” says Shapley. “The team at ClearDATA reassured us that we could remain compliant and secure as we roll out this new infrastructure.”
Collaboration That Drives Results
What began as a professional collaboration evolved into a deeply integrated partnership.
“I don’t think of ClearDATA as just a vendor,” notes Shapley. “They’re truly a partner, invested in our success. Their team is quick to address challenges and find cost-effective solutions that work for us.”
The partnership’s results speak volumes. Wondr Health now operates with a strengthened compliance posture, improved scalability, and better resource allocation. By offloading critical compliance and security tasks to ClearDATA, Wondr could focus more on innovating their health programs, ultimately leading to better outcomes for participants.
“Knowing ClearDATA had our compliance and security needs covered meant we could redirect our energy to what we do best – helping people improve their health,” Shapley explained.
A Future Built on Trust
Wondr Health has gained more than HITRUST Certification and a robust security partner; they’ve gained peace of mind and a trusted collaborator. The ongoing partnership ensures Wondr can continue to meet the highest standards of security and compliance as they advance their mission of improving health outcomes at scale.
“We’re excited to keep working with ClearDATA as we refine our infrastructure,” said Shapley. “Their reliability, expertise, and partnership mindset have set the foundation for our future success.”
“The proactive security monitoring from ClearDATA gave us peace of mind.
We didn’t have to worry about potential threats slipping through the cracks – they had us covered.”
