FREE CHECKLIST · KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
Before you let anyone audit your practice, know what a thorough review should include. This is the exact checklist our engineers work from - so you can judge any assessment, including ours.
PART 1 - SCOPE
A credible assessment is honest about its edges. Here's the line we draw.

PART 2 - WHAT WE INSPECT
How your sites connect, your firewall, and what's exposed to the outside world.
How traffic moves inside the practice - and whether guest, clinical, and admin are properly separated.
How people log in, who has access, and whether access leaves when staff do.
Where your data and key applications live, and how they're protected.
Workstations, mobile devices, phones, UPS - plus imaging and operatory terminals nobody usually checks.
We verify the security you're paying for is actually running. It often isn't.
"The gaps that hurt a practice are almost never the ones they worry about. It's the switch nobody documented, the backup that had quietly failed for months, the security agent they were billed for that was never actually running. A real assessment exists to find exactly those - while it's still your call to fix them, not an incident report."
Start with a free 15-minute fit call - we'll tell you honestly whether an assessment makes sense. Not sure where you stand yet? Take the 10-point self-check first.
PART 3 - HOW FINDINGS WORK
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.
PART 4 - WHAT YOU KEEP
A detailed, vendor-neutral audit any competent provider could execute.
Plain-English summary + a prioritized 30/60/90 roadmap.
We talk you through it and lay out your options - no pressure.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Use the checklist to judge any provider, including us. When you want the real answer for your practice, a SafePoint IT Healthcare IT & Infrastructure Assessment checks every item on it for real - network, endpoints, identity, backups, and HIPAA posture - and hands you a plain-English picture of exactly where you stand.
