Is Your Practice’s IT Putting You at Risk?
60% of medical practices fail HIPAA audits due to IT security gaps. Most don’t even know they’re exposed.
You Might Be at Risk If…
✅ You're still using consumer-grade routers
✅ Your backups haven't been tested in 6+ months
✅ Staff use shared passwords for EHR access
✅ PHI sits on unencrypted laptops
✅ You don't have BAAs with all your vendors
✅ No one's had HIPAA training this year
If you checked any of these, you’re exposed.
