Imprivata is reaching end of life.

For healthcare organizations still running Imprivata, the clock is ticking. Every month of delay increases your compliance exposure and narrows your migration window. Trustmarq's vendor-agnostic IAM team manages the journey end-to-end.

⚠

Security Exposure No patches or security updates after EOL — every unpatched CVE becomes a permanent gap in your clinical access layer.

📋

Compliance Risk HIPAA Technical Safeguards audit gaps widen with every quarter of inaction. OCR enforcement activity is increasing.

🔗

EHR Dependencies Epic, Cerner, and Meditech connectors depend on Imprivata agents that stop receiving updates. A single failure can cascade into a patient safety event.

Why Act Now

The EOL window is closing

Imprivata's end-of-life announcement creates a narrow migration window for healthcare organizations. The risks compound with every quarter of inaction — and the runway needed for a safe migration shrinks.

🛡️

Zero-day vulnerabilities go unpatched

After EOL, Imprivata will no longer release security patches. Any newly discovered vulnerability becomes a permanent exposure in your clinical access layer — directly impacting HIPAA Technical Safeguards compliance.

🏥

EHR integration breakage risk

Epic, Cerner, and Meditech connectors depend on Imprivata SSO agents that stop receiving updates post-EOL. A single connector failure during clinical hours can cascade into patient safety events and OCR audit triggers.

📊

Migration complexity demands runway

A typical health system migration spans 9–18 months depending on EHR complexity and user count. Organizations that wait lose the runway needed for a safe, parallel-run migration and are forced into high-risk cutover scenarios.

Our Approach

Four phases. One managed journey.

Trustmarq's migration methodology is purpose-built for healthcare — designed around clinical workflow continuity, HIPAA audit requirements, and EHR-first integration complexity.

Common Questions

What CISOs ask us first

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often at the start of a migration engagement.

How long does a typical Imprivata migration take?

For a mid-size health system (5,000–15,000 clinical users), our parallel-run methodology typically spans 9–14 months from kickoff to full cutover. Larger organizations with complex EHR footprints run 14–18 months. We design the timeline around your clinical calendar to avoid peak periods.

Can we migrate without disrupting clinical workflows?

Yes. Our parallel-run architecture keeps Imprivata live for existing users while the new platform is validated department by department. Clinical staff experience zero downtime during migration. We have executed this approach across large-scale health system environments.

Do you recommend one platform over others?

No. We are vendor-agnostic and certified on SailPoint, Okta, Saviynt, and Microsoft Entra. Our platform recommendation follows a current-state audit that maps your EHR connectors, workforce size, cloud posture, and compliance obligations — not vendor relationships.

What does HIPAA compliance look like post-migration?

We deliver a complete HIPAA audit evidence package as part of Phase 4 — including access control documentation, role certification records, MFA enforcement logs, and PAM hardening attestation. Your compliance team will have everything needed for an OCR audit from day one post-cutover.
