Why dental practices fail HIPAA audits
It’s almost never a hacker. It’s usually: shared logins, no encryption on the doctor’s laptop, a backup drive that walked out the door, or a missing Security Risk Analysis. We close those gaps systematically.
Security Risk Analysis (SRA)
HIPAA requires a documented, periodic Security Risk Analysis. We perform one on your practice — covering administrative, physical and technical safeguards — and deliver a written report plus a prioritized remediation roadmap. You get something to hand to an auditor on day one.
Technical safeguards we implement
- Full-disk encryption on every machine that touches PHI
- Encrypted, versioned backups with offsite copies
- Unique user accounts (no shared “frontdesk” logins)
- Automatic screen-lock and idle timeout
- Firewall, content filtering, and email phishing protection
- Patch management and centralized antivirus / EDR
- Audit logging on PMS, server and remote access
Staff training that actually sticks
We deliver short, dental-specific HIPAA training — phishing, password hygiene, PHI handling, social engineering — with sign-off records you can show during an audit. Annual refresh included.
