// HIPAA COMPLIANCE & CYBERSECURITY

Protect Patient Data.
Stay HIPAA Compliant.
Avoid Six-Figure Fines.

FortifyMyNetwork delivers HIPAA security risk assessments, breach prevention, and ongoing managed cybersecurity for medical offices, dental practices, and therapy clinics — without the enterprise price tag.

⚠️

Is Your Practice Actually HIPAA Compliant?

Most small medical and dental practices fail basic HIPAA Security Rule requirements without knowing it. 60% of small healthcare providers have experienced a data breach. The average HIPAA fine for a small practice is $100,000–$1.9 million — and OCR audits are increasing. A breach doesn't just cost money. It costs patient trust, licenses, and your reputation.

HIPAA Cybersecurity Services

Every service is tailored for solo practitioners, small group practices, and growing clinics that can't afford a full-time IT department.

🔍

HIPAA Security Risk Assessment

A full audit of your systems, devices, software, and workflows to identify vulnerabilities and gaps that put PHI at risk — documented and ready for OCR review.

🛡️

PHI Data Protection

Encryption, access controls, and endpoint security for all systems that touch protected health information — including EHR platforms, email, and cloud storage.

💾

Encrypted Backup for Patient Records

Automated, encrypted, offsite backups with tested recovery procedures — so a ransomware attack or hardware failure never means lost patient records or a breach report.

🚨

Breach Incident Response

If a breach occurs, we contain it fast, document the incident, and help you meet the 60-day HHS breach notification requirement — avoiding escalated penalties.

📋

HIPAA Policy & Documentation

Written Security Policies, Acceptable Use Agreements, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) — the documentation OCR expects to see during an audit.

🎓

Staff Security Awareness Training

Phishing simulations and HIPAA security training for your front desk, billing staff, and clinical team — human error is the #1 cause of healthcare data breaches.

Your Path to HIPAA Compliance

We follow a clear 4-step process built around the HIPAA Security Rule — no jargon, no hidden steps.

FREE CHECKUP CALL

30-minute call to review your current setup, identify obvious gaps, and confirm which HIPAA rules apply to your practice.

SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT

Full technical and administrative audit of every system, device, and workflow that touches patient data. Delivered as a written report.

REMEDIATION & HARDENING

We fix the vulnerabilities — encrypting data, tightening access controls, setting up backups, and writing the required HIPAA policies.

ONGOING MONITORING

Monthly retainer keeps your practice protected and compliant — continuous monitoring, quarterly reviews, and immediate breach response.

HIPAA Fines Are Not Optional

OCR (Office for Civil Rights) enforces HIPAA fines on a tiered scale based on negligence. Small practices are not exempt.

$100–$50K
Per violation — unaware of the rule
$1,000–$50K
Per violation — reasonable cause, no willful neglect
$10,000–$50K
Per violation — willful neglect, corrected
$50,000+
Per violation — willful neglect, not corrected

Max annual penalty per violation category: $1,919,173 (2024 adjusted). Source: HHS.gov

HIPAA Cybersecurity FAQ

Do I need a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment even if I'm a solo practitioner?
Yes. The HIPAA Security Rule applies to all covered entities regardless of size — including solo practitioners. The Security Risk Analysis is specifically required under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1). It's not optional and OCR has fined solo practices for failing to complete one.
What's the difference between HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule compliance?
The Privacy Rule governs how you use and share patient information (handled largely through policy). The Security Rule governs the technical and administrative safeguards for electronic PHI (ePHI) — that's the IT and cybersecurity side, which is what FortifyMyNetwork specializes in.
My EHR vendor says they're HIPAA compliant. Doesn't that cover me?
No. Your EHR being HIPAA compliant means they protect data on their platform. You are still responsible for the security of the devices your staff use to access it, your email, your Wi-Fi network, and all other systems in your practice that touch patient data. You also need a signed BAA with every vendor that handles ePHI.
How quickly can you get my practice compliant?
For most small practices, we complete the initial risk assessment and core remediation within 2–4 weeks. Ongoing compliance is maintained through your monthly retainer. We'll give you a realistic timeline on your free checkup call based on your current setup.
Do you work remotely or do you have to come on-site?
We handle most of our work remotely via secure remote access. For practices in the Lynchburg, VA area, on-site visits are available. We serve clients nationwide remotely with no difference in service quality.
