Managed HIPAA & Cyber Security Protection for Medical & Dental practices in NY/NJ —downtime, HIPAA risk, or weak IT puts everything at stake.

Whether you're running hybrid telehealth or expanding to new locations, we help ensure you're secure, compliant, and always-on—without the stress of managing it yourself. 

In-House IT Isn't Enough

Even if someone “does IT,” they may miss HIPAA gaps, ransomware blind spots, or fail to respond quickly.

Security = Patient Trust

A breach, even at home, can erode trust—patients expect their data and care to be protected anywhere.

Rising Patient Volume

Lower payouts mean more patients per day—your tech can't afford to slow you down or break under pressure.

HIPAA ✔️ HITECH ✔️ NY Shield Act ✔️ PCI ✔️ (optional)

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. law that establishes national standards for the protection of health information. It requires healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates to implement safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI).

What is HITECH?

HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) is a U.S. law that promotes the adoption of health information technology, particularly electronic health records (EHRs). It also strengthens the privacy and security protections established under HIPAA, especially regarding data breaches and patient notification.

What is the NY SHIELD Act?

The NY SHIELD Act (Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security) is a New York state law that enhances data security requirements for businesses. It requires organizations to implement reasonable safeguards to protect private information and mandates notification of data breaches affecting New York residents.

What is PCI compliance?

PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance refers to a set of security standards designed to ensure that organizations that handle credit card information maintain a secure environment. It is essential for businesses that process, store, or transmit credit card data to protect against data breaches and fraud.

What is the difference between HIPAA and HITECH?

HIPAA sets the foundation for protecting patient data, while HITECH builds on it by enhancing breach notification requirements and promoting data encryption. HITECH also incentivizes healthcare providers to adopt electronic health records (EHRs).

Let’s discuss how we can keep your practice safe!


Overcoming Compliance & IT Challenges

Regulatory Complexity – Navigating HIPAA, GDPR, and state-specific laws can be overwhelming.
Cybersecurity Risks – Patient data is a prime target for cybercriminals.
Outdated Systems – Legacy technology slows down workflows and patient care.
IT Downtime – System failures mean lost revenue and frustrated patients.
Inefficient Operations – Lack of integration between EHRs, scheduling, and billing systems can hurt productivity.
Our Healthcare IT Solutions eliminate these roadblocks, ensuring compliance, security, and efficiency in one seamless package.


What to expect

Our Proven Practice Protection Process

Assessment & Risk Scan
We audit devices, roles, and HIPAA risks to uncover weak points.
Remediation & Hardening
We close gaps, encrypt data, set up backups, and strengthen access.
Ongoing Monitoring
You get alerts, patching, and compliance reporting with no IT stress.

BAA & Secure Hosting

We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with all covered entities and host our infrastructure on HIPAA-compliant platforms. Your data remains encrypted in transit and at rest, with strict access logging, endpoint control, and disaster recovery protocols in place.

Onboarding

During the onboarding process, we will cover your enterprise assets (anything that receives, transmits, or stores PHI), software assets (business-specific needs and desires, and what's on hand), data assets (whether physical, virtual, or cloud), and identity assets across these, coordinating with your HR Team for up-to-date employee lists. We'll also create the required documentation with business justifications for compliance requirements.

Expect to see some of our asset tags across your devices. They're part of our enterprise asset inventory, so anyone can identify things that do not belong and provide support information so users can easily contact us.

We will need your help to establish the following:

  • Your known business-specific requirements
  • Working hours,
  • Organizational roles and their access levels
  • Service providers like your internet, phone, and fax providers. (Yep, 2025 and we still use faxing :))
  • +It would also help to have user hours to restrict out-of-bounds and/or monitor for it.

These are some of the things we have to do for healthcare compliance:

  • Physical Security Assessment
  • Network Architecture Diagram
  • Data Inventory and Handling
  • Data Flow Diagram
  • Disaster Recovery Plan
    Procedures to restore data loss. See 3-2-1 Rule or High Available Setup.
  • Data Retention and Disposal Requirements
  • Identity Assets Lifecycle including Employee Onboarding and Offboarding
  • Incident Response Policy

Maintainance/Monitoring

As it happens

You have patients. If you need help, we will be there for you. I want you to be able to focus on patients while we deal with the nuances of running an office. Whether it's on-site or remote support, do not worry.

We have you covered from user activity to system components to software activity to network and firewall logs.

Daily

We work behind the scenes, reviewing all security events, critical system components, and servers that perform security functions to ensure your systems are safe.

We actively monitor your networks for new devices utilizing active discovery scans.

We try to time maintenance schedules for patching and upkeep during off-hours, but we are required to maintain a schedule for important vulnerability (doors that malicious actors can exploit) announcements.

We constantly monitor your systems to look for unusual activity as per requirement. It's not uncommon for us to confirm whether a log-in was really you or not, especially if it's unusual for that user's normal activity. I realize it's annoying, but ensuring malicious actors don't access your systems is necessary.

Weekly

We review your assets through passive discovery scans.

We must run your backups at least weekly to ensure all data is safe and that at least one copy is off-site in a secured location.

Monthly

Hardware gets old, and software gets out-of-date. At least monthly, we check for end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-support (EOS) so we can keep you aware of any foreseeable costs in hardware or software.

Just backing up is not enough. Backups must be tested at least monthly to ensure you have a fallback.

We're required to check for disabled accounts every 45 days, so please expect a message about changes to your staffing and users every month.

Quarterly - On-site, per site

Although we are only required to do bi-annual on-site audits, servers get dirty! We have some special ESD-safe vacuums/blowers for electronic equipment that we use to ensure your servers are running smoothly. The timeline depends upon your environment and dust control within the server area. Monitor and see, but every 2-3 months should be okay.


We will also conduct on-site audits in the event someone places a device that goes without notice. You would be surprised by our findings. 


*If we need to come to sanitize and destroy equipment on site, it can be combined with the cleaning and quarterly checkup. We have secured offline erasers, duplicators, and portable crushers to meet NIST requirements (As per NIST SP 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization").

Bi-annually

We will have to assess the list of authorized software, libraries, and scripts. Do not worry if you don't understand what this means.
Software typically has building blocks starting with scripts.
Libraries will contain a collection of scripts that software applications rely upon to make their development easier.
This means the blocks get updated at different times, and we have to ensure there are no open doors.

 

Annually

We will conduct an inventory of data based on their classification labels and usage.

As a general reference, here are some of the other workflows.
