An independent cybersecurity review across major Nebraska hospitals and healthcare systems reveals a wide range of results. Many organizations handle sensitive communications daily, yet show significant gaps in email authentication and transport security.
Using data from audit.emailmenow.com, we evaluated each domain across email, website, and network security — including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS/TLS, and security headers.

- Weak authentication undermines compliance expectations and increases BEC and wire-fraud risk.
Why This Matters in Nebraska
Nebraska hospital systems must meet the HIPAA Security Rule and document risk analyses. Email and web exposures remain among the most common OCR enforcement drivers.
