IS THIS YOU?

Made for the person who keeps the practice running

You're the office or practice manager - you own the vendors, the staff, the day-to-day, and the quiet worry that a security slip could land on your desk. You don't want to become an IT expert. You want to know you're covered.

"Are we actually HIPAA-compliant?"

You attest to a Security Risk Assessment - but you're not sure yours would hold up.

"Staff keep signing up for new apps."

AI note-takers and cloud tools touching patient data, often with no agreement in place.

"When the system's down, we stop."

Every hour the schedule freezes is lost revenue and frustrated patients.

"Is our current IT actually doing the job?"

You've wondered - but you have no evidence either way.

What's at stake if you don't look

The reason a real assessment pays for itself - the cost of getting this wrong in healthcare is not small.

WHY PRACTICES RUN ONE

Three good reasons to look - before you're forced to

Your HIPAA obligation

The annual Security Risk Assessment is federally required - and in 2025, OCR's multimillion-dollar penalties centered on practices that never did a real one.

Cyber-insurance pressure

Renewals now demand attestations you can't truthfully make without actually knowing your environment. We give you the facts.

A credible second opinion

"Is our current IT actually doing the job?" The assessment answers it with evidence, not opinion.

WHAT HAPPENS

A real audit, in three steps

No mystery, and no disruption - we don't take your systems down or interrupt patient care.

1

On-site visit

We analyze your environment, scan the network, ask about your workflow, and inspect your network and server room.

2-3 hours, on-site

2

We build your reports

We turn what we found into two clear documents - one for your engineers, one for your leadership.

A few business days

3

Findings call

We walk you through what we found and what we recommend - and you decide where to go from there.

One remote meeting

Total time: about 1-2 weeks, from the on-site visit to your findings call.

WHAT WE REVIEW

What we review (and what we don't)

A credible assessment is honest about its edges. Here's the line we draw.

In scope

  • Network edge and firewall
  • Switching and wireless
  • Servers and cloud identity
  • A representative sample of workstations
  • Backup and recovery posture
  • Endpoint security stack - what's installed vs. what you're billed for
  • Vertical equipment like imaging and operatory PCs

Deliberately out of scope

  • Active penetration testing or live exploitation
  • A 100% workstation-by-workstation audit - clinical machines stay in patient use
  • Anything we weren't given access to - flagged clearly, and picked up at no charge during onboarding if you proceed

WHAT WE INSPECT

Everything we lay eyes on

Inside the on-site visit, here is the ground we cover - end to end.

Connectivity

Internet, WAN & edge

How your sites connect, your firewall, and what's exposed to the outside world.

Internal network

Switching, wireless & VLANs

How traffic moves inside the practice - and whether guest, clinical, and admin are properly separated.

Identity

Sign-in & access

How people log in, who has access, and whether access leaves when staff do.

Core systems

Servers & cloud

Where your data and key applications live, and how they're protected.

Devices

Endpoints & clinical gear

Workstations, mobile devices, phones, UPS - plus imaging and operatory terminals nobody usually checks.

Protection

Security: observed vs. billed

We verify the security you're paying for is actually running. It often isn't.

HOW FINDINGS WORK

Rated by risk, written in plain English

Every finding gets a severity so you know what to fix first - and none of it hides behind jargon.

Critical

Fix-now exposure - the things that could cause a breach, a HIPAA violation, or downtime. Each gets real detail.

High

Serious gaps to close soon, each explained so you and your team understand the stakes.

Medium

Worth addressing as you stabilize - documented so nothing quietly slips.

A finding we still think about

"One practice was paying - every month, for years - for endpoint security software that was never actually installed on a third of their computers. Nobody had checked. We found it in an afternoon."

WHAT IT'S WORTH TO YOU

Two things you can do the moment you have it

01

Hold your current IT accountable - take documented findings to your provider and ask them to fix what's wrong, with evidence in hand.

IT budget benchmark comparison showing current spend versus a right sized monthly cost
02

Benchmark what IT should cost - get a clear number for what proper IT & security runs for a practice like yours.
