Trust & Security
Why practices trust us with their patient data
We are a HIPAA-first managed IT and security partner built specifically for medical and dental practices. Here is exactly how we protect your data and your compliance, and what we put in writing before we ever touch your systems.
What we put in writing
Trust with a healthcare IT partner should be verifiable, not a slogan.
A signed BAA before we touch PHI
A Business Associate Agreement is legally required before any vendor handles your PHI, and the HHS Office for Civil Rights has settled cases from $31,000 to $750,000 over a missing one. We sign a BAA with our healthcare clients before we touch their systems.
HIPAA-first, by design
Every engagement starts with a documented Security Risk Analysis mapped to the HHS Security Rule, the single most-cited gap in OCR settlements. We handle the safeguards, policies, and audit-ready records that go with it.
SOC 2-aligned controls
Our internal controls are aligned to the SOC 2 framework, the security baseline regulated buyers expect, and we will walk you through exactly how we protect your environment.
MFA, encryption & tested backups
Multi-factor authentication everywhere, encryption at rest and in transit, and immutable, regularly tested backups, the controls cyber-insurers now require to renew a policy.
24/7 monitoring & response
Continuous monitoring, endpoint detection and response, and email and ransomware defense, watched around the clock so threats are caught before they reach patient data.
Microsoft 365 & Azure, secured
The Microsoft 365 and Azure environments most practices run on, configured, secured, and managed properly.
The stakes for a practice
Healthcare is the costliest industry in the world to suffer a data breach (IBM, Cost of a Data Breach), and small practices are increasingly the target, precisely because attackers assume their defenses are thin. A single lost laptop, an unpatched server, or a missing BAA can turn into a reportable breach that costs a practice its reputation and its patients' trust. Our job is to make sure that never happens to you, and to be able to prove, on paper, that it is handled.

How we protect your practice — in plain English
Click any item to see exactly what we do and why it matters.
Your data never trains anything and never gets sold
We access systems only to support them, under a signed BAA. No data mining, no resale, no exceptions — and every access is logged.
MFA and least-privilege access, everywhere
Every ACS technician uses multi-factor authentication and only the minimum access needed for the task. Credentials are vaulted, rotated, and revoked the day a role changes.
Immutable, tested backups
Backups that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete, tested with real restores — because an untested backup is a hope, not a plan.
We sign a BAA with you, first
Before any work touches PHI, the Business Associate Agreement is in place. If a vendor in your stack will not sign one, we flag it in your risk analysis.
SOC 2-aligned practices, audit-ready records
Our internal controls follow SOC 2 principles, and everything we do for your practice is documented so an auditor — or your cyber insurer — can verify it.
30-day money-back guarantee
If we are not a fit in the first 30 days, you get your money back and we hand over clean documentation. Switching to us is risk-free by design.
