Dental practices are considered covered entities under HIPAA and must protect Protected Health Information (PHI) in both digital and physical form. This includes patient records, imaging, billing data, and electronic communications. HIPAA compliance requires a combination of:
Administrative safeguards
Physical safeguards
Technical safeguards
As a leading cybersecurity consulting firm, we assist with the technology foundations that support HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA compliance starts with how your network is designed and controlled. We help dental practices implement HIPAA-aligned network foundations that reduce unnecessary access to patient data while supporting daily clinical workflows.
Our network design and access controls include:
Network segmentation to limit data exposure
Secure firewalls and access controls
Separation of clinical and guest networks
Infrastructure designed to support imaging and EHR systems
A properly designed network lowers risk without slowing staff down.
Dental practices rely on computers and imaging systems every day. These systems must remain accessible to staff — but protected from unauthorized use.
We provide an array of cybersecurity services for dental practices – focusing on:
Secure workstation configuration across the office
Role-based access to patient data
Secure handling of dental EHR and imaging systems
Ongoing updates and security patching
The goal is to protect patient information while keeping workflows efficient.
HIPAA requires safeguards to protect patient data from loss, corruption, or extended downtime.
We help dental practices plan for:
Secure local and/or cloud backups
Protection against ransomware and data corruption
Recovery planning to minimize disruption
Monitoring to detect issues early
Reliable backups support both compliance and business continuity.
HIPAA compliance is ongoing. As practices grow or adopt new technology, IT environments must evolve.
Ongoing support helps practices:
Maintain secure configurations over time
Apply updates and security patches
Monitor systems for emerging risks
Adjust safeguards as workflows change
Our role is to support compliance through consistent, responsible IT management — not just initial setup.
