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 means 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 assessment, in three steps

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

1

On-site or remote review

We analyze your environment, scan the network, ask about your workflow, and inspect your network and server room - on-site or fully remote, whichever fits.

4 hours on-site, or 2 hours remote

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 your review 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
  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant - licensing, admin roles and MFA enforcement
  • 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 review, 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.

Low

Minor housekeeping and hardening. Logged so you have the full picture, not because it is urgent.

A finding we still think about

"A multi-site practice group we reviewed had multi-factor authentication switched on for exactly one account in the whole organization. Everyone assumed it covered the staff. Five accounts held full administrator rights, including a service account nobody could name, and former employees still had accounts sitting in the tenant. Nobody had checked."

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH

Documents you keep - useful no matter what you decide

Technical Appendix cover: a vendor-neutral audit of a healthcare practice’s IT environment produced by a healthcare IT assessment

For your engineers

Technical Appendix

A detailed, vendor-neutral audit of your environment that any competent provider could act on.

Findings and Recommendations cover: a plain-English 30/60/90 action plan from a healthcare IT assessment

For your leadership

Findings & Recommendations

A plain-English summary of what we found, what it means, and a prioritized 30/60/90 path forward.

Findings Presentation cover: a live walkthrough that turns healthcare IT assessment findings into a clear decision

The walkthrough

Findings Presentation

A live session that turns the reports into a clear decision - with options, not pressure.

WHAT IT'S WORTH TO YOU

Two things you can do the moment you have it

Operations manager reviewing a healthcare IT assessment checklist with two IT technicians
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.

ASSESSMENT PLANS
