History
We first started as a support company for local businesses in 1999. Over time, as we started to service more and more local physicians, we evolved to support the needs of healthcare entities. This led us to support medical billing software and we became re-sellers for McKesson for Medisoft and Lytec. Due to massive changes in healthcare brought about by the HITECH act, we moved us into HIPAA compliance and cybersecurity. Security is the focus of our company now. But not just the basic things like firewalls and anti-malware software, we want to help companies understand disaster recovery and preventing costly down time from attacks like ransomware. A bigger concern now, especially for healthcare entities is when a breach becomes a legal situation under hap regulations. We want to educate organizations about how HIPAA applies to them and what they need to do to achieve, and maintain compliance.
Specialties
We are focused on the cybersecurity needs of small practices and businesses. This means going beyond antivirus software into preventing ransomware attacks or hackers getting access to your business data. Breaches are costly to clean up, but its more costly to the reputation of the business. We understand firewalls and how to make them work for you. Firewalls can now do a lot to protect a business. For example, they can filter sites you don't want employees wasting time but also can block potential attacks when an employee clicks on something they shouldn't. Risk Assessments are required for all HIPAA covered entities and business associates. We help practices perform these and make sure that any issues found are resolved and documented so the practice can show HIPAA compliance efforts.
