Keep patient data private and your practice open.
Ransomware doesn't just leak records — it cancels appointments. We implement the HIPAA Security Rule end to end for independent practices, clinics, and the vendors who serve them: a real risk analysis, the safeguards it calls for, and a tested plan for the day something goes wrong.

The pressures specific to your sector.
Ransomware that stops patient care
Encrypted EHRs, imaging, and scheduling mean diverted patients and lost revenue. Backups you've never restored from are not a plan.
OCR's focus on the risk analysis
An enterprise-wide risk analysis is the foundation of the Security Rule — and the gap OCR cites most often when it settles cases.
Business associates and third-party exposure
Billing companies, IT vendors, and cloud apps touch your PHI. Each one needs a BAA and oversight, and a breach at theirs can become yours.
Small staff, shared logins, legacy devices
Front-desk shared accounts, unpatched imaging workstations, and personal phones are where most practice breaches start.

Questions, answered.
Is a HIPAA 'certification' enough?+
No government body certifies HIPAA compliance. Regulators look for a current risk analysis, implemented safeguards, and documentation. We get you there and keep it current.
How often do we need a risk analysis?+
HIPAA requires an accurate and thorough risk analysis and ongoing risk management. Best practice — and what we deliver — is at least annually and after any significant change to systems or operations.
What are our obligations after a breach?+
Notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery. Breaches affecting 500 or more people must also be reported to HHS and, in some cases, the media within the same window. We help you run the risk assessment and meet each deadline.
We're a vendor, not a practice. Does this apply?+
If you create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI for a covered entity, you're a business associate and directly liable under the Security Rule. We scope your obligations and build the program your healthcare clients will ask to see.
