What's Included With Cybersecurity
Practices and the Companies That Serve Them
Boca Raton has many medical groups and specialty practices, plus billing companies, labs and other business associates that handle patient information. All of them need strong technical safeguards.
What We Implement
- Access control with unique accounts and multi-factor authentication
- Encryption for devices and email
- Audit logging for systems containing patient data
- Endpoint protection and patching
- Backups and recovery planning
- Secure remote access
- Documentation for your compliance records
Our Role
We help you meet the technical requirements and document them. We don’t provide legal advice or certify compliance. See HIPAA compliance services.
Business Associates Have Obligations Too
Companies that handle patient information on behalf of a practice, such as billing services, transcription, labs and IT vendors, generally must protect that data and sign Business Associate Agreements. Practices increasingly ask their vendors for proof of security controls. We help business associates put the technical safeguards in place and document them so those conversations go smoothly.
The Technical Side
- Risk analysis support: asset inventory, data flow mapping and technical findings for your security risk analysis
- Entra ID or equivalent with MFA and role-based access
- BitLocker and encrypted email for patient information
- Centralized audit logs with defined retention
- EDR with 24/7 SOC monitoring

HIPAA Compliance in Boca Raton: Common Questions
Do business associates need to follow HIPAA?
Yes. Business associates that handle protected health information, such as billing companies and some IT vendors, have HIPAA obligations.
Do you certify HIPAA compliance?
No. We implement and document technical safeguards. Overall compliance includes policies, risk analysis and administrative steps your organization owns.
Can you support a security risk analysis?
We review your technical environment and provide findings for your risk analysis, working with your compliance officer.
What is a security risk analysis?
It is an assessment of where patient information is stored and how it could be exposed, along with the safeguards in place. HIPAA requires one, and we provide the technical findings for it.
How should we handle a lost laptop with patient data?
Report it right away. If the drive was encrypted, the risk is much lower. We lock or wipe the device and help your compliance officer document the incident.
Is a Business Associate Agreement included?
Our service agreement includes Business Associate terms covering the protected health information we may access, and healthcare clients sign it when they start working with us.
