Lower TCO for healthcare workloads on AWS, Azure, and GCP. HIPAA-eligible tiers only. Architecture, reserved capacity, and FinOps discipline applied to the cloud bill carriers, hospitals, and ISVs already pay.
Every recommendation stays inside the HIPAA-eligible service catalog and under the existing BAA. No SaaS swap that breaks the subprocessor chain.
Each cost cut carries a risk score against HIPAA, GDPR, and the BAA chain. Procurement and security review the same report finance does.
Predictable RDS, EC2, and OpenSearch workloads move to reserved instances or savings plans. Unpredictable analytics moves to Aurora Serverless v2.
Cold PHI, audit logs, and old imaging studies move to S3 Glacier and EFS-IA on a lifecycle that still clears the six year HIPAA retention floor.
Resource-level tagging enforced through Service Control Policies. Chargeback rolls up by specialty, by tenant, by book of business, or by device line.
First wave of savings lands inside 90 days. Quarterly FinOps reviews keep the bill from drifting back up after a new product launch.
Outcomes from FinOps engagements with payers, hospitals, medical-device manufacturers, pharma, ISVs, and the healthtech founders we work with.
Typical annual cloud spend reduction on a Life Value FinOps review.
HIPAA, GDPR, or BAA controls removed to get the savings.
From FinOps report to first wave of savings landing on the bill.
We run cloud cost optimization the way a healthcare CFO and a CISO would run it together. Savings on one side, compliance posture preserved on the other.

The savings come from architecture and commitment discipline, not from removing controls. Encryption at rest and in transit stays on. PHI and non-PHI stay in separate buckets and separate accounts. Every service in the path stays HIPAA-eligible and stays under the BAA. The cuts happen in three places. Redundant AWS services that two teams stood up in parallel get consolidated. Predictable RDS and EC2 workloads move to reserved instances or savings plans. Cold PHI moves to S3 Glacier and EFS-IA on a lifecycle policy that still meets the six year HIPAA retention floor.
A written FinOps report. Every finding is prioritized by expected annual saving, implementation effort, and risk score against HIPAA, GDPR, and the existing BAA chain. A payer cloud cost lead gets a line item view of claims, eligibility, and prior authorization workloads. A hospital CTO gets the EHR integration layer, imaging, and audit log retention broken out. An ISV CTO gets unit economics per tenant. The report ends with a 90 day implementation roadmap and the named owner for each change.
Four patterns show up on almost every healthcare AWS bill we review. Two or three redundant HIPAA-eligible services doing the same job because different teams picked different tools. RDS instances running on-demand for workloads that have been steady for two years and belong on a three year reserved instance. Unpredictable analytics and reporting workloads that should move to Aurora Serverless v2. Audit logs and old imaging studies sitting in S3 Standard when HIPAA only requires they stay retrievable, not hot. Glacier Instant Retrieval and EFS-IA fix that.
FinOps tagging applied at the resource level, then rolled up by specialty, by tenant, or by clinical line. A hospital can see what cardiology, oncology, and radiology each cost to run per month. A payer can see what each book of business costs to serve. An ISV can see gross margin per customer. The tagging policy is enforced through AWS Service Control Policies and Azure Policy so a new resource cannot be created without the cost allocation tag attached.
Whether you're launching a new solution or scaling an existing product, Life Value gives you the clarity, speed, and compliance needed to move with confidence.
