Patient data now lives on laptops at home, in cloud EHRs and inside AI note-taking tools. We protect it everywhere your clinicians and staff work, and help you document the safeguards HIPAA expects, without hiring a security team.
When scheduling, charting and billing go down, the practice can't see patients, which puts huge pressure on you to pay.
Isolated, tested backups let you restore systems and records from a clean copy instead of negotiating with attackers.
Learn more about Backup and ransomware recovery →Billing, coding and telehealth staff work from home on networks and devices the practice doesn't manage, with patient data on screen all day.
Zero trust access lets remote staff reach the EHR and billing systems only from encrypted, managed devices that pass a health check.
Learn more about Zero trust access →Clinicians try AI note-taking and summarizing tools on their own, often with consumer accounts that have no business associate agreement.
Shadow AI discovery shows which AI tools are already in use, so you can approve compliant ones and give staff a clear policy.
Learn more about Shadow AI discovery →Fake payer notices, vendor invoices and EHR login pages are built to fool busy staff, and one stolen login can expose thousands of records.
Short, healthcare-specific training and regular phishing tests teach staff to spot these lures before they click.
Learn more about Security awareness training →HIPAA expects a documented risk analysis, but many practices did one years ago, or never, and don't know where they stand today.
We support your risk analysis and keep a record of the safeguards actually in place, so you can show your work to auditors and insurers.
Learn more about Compliance readiness →Shared front-desk PCs and older devices miss updates for months because nobody has time to restart them during clinic hours.
Managed patching applies updates on a schedule that works around clinic hours, and tracks every device that falls behind.
Learn more about Vulnerability and patch management →Billing companies, EHR and IT vendors handle patient data on your behalf, and a breach at one of them can expose records or stop claims. Larger health systems also assess you before referring work.
We assess the vendors that handle patient data, check your agreements and access, and help you answer the reviews partners send you.
Learn more about Third-party risk assessment →Clinicians, billing staff and outside vendors all reach patient data from different places. Zero trust grants each of them only the systems their role needs, and only from devices that pass a health check.
A decade ago, protecting patient information meant locking the records room and securing a server in the back office. Today the records are in a cloud EHR, billing happens from home offices, and clinicians review charts on laptops and tablets wherever they are. Every one of those places is part of your security perimeter, whether or not anyone is watching it.
Attackers have noticed. Healthcare organizations are targeted because downtime directly affects patient care, which puts pressure on practices to pay ransoms quickly. Small and mid-sized practices are hit too, often through a single phished login or an unpatched laptop.
24/7 monitoring on every device. Managed endpoint detection and response on every workstation and laptop, watched around the clock by analysts who can isolate a device the moment something looks wrong.
Backups you can actually restore from. Daily, isolated backups of the systems and files you rely on, with restores tested regularly so recovery is a plan, not a hope.
Strong identity everywhere. Multi-factor authentication on email, remote access and every system that holds patient data, so a stolen password isn’t enough.
Secure remote work. Staff working from home connect through zero trust access from encrypted, managed devices, and only to the systems their role needs.
AI with guardrails. Shadow AI discovery shows which AI tools are in use, and we help you approve tools that come with the right agreements and settings, and give you a written AI policy staff can follow.
Documentation that holds up. We support your risk analysis and keep a record of the safeguards in place, which is what auditors, insurers and partners ask for.
You don’t need a hospital-sized security budget to protect patient data properly. We deliver it remotely, explain it in plain English and price it per user. Get your free security score to see where your practice stands, or book a free cyber risk analysis to talk it through.
Last reviewed October 11, 2026. General information, not legal advice. Upfortify provides security services and readiness support. We are not an auditor, assessor, certification body or law firm.
24/7 detection and response on every workstation and laptop that touches patient data, so ransomware can be caught and isolated before it spreads.
Isolated, tested backups so you can restore records and systems quickly instead of negotiating with attackers.
Phishing tests and short training built for front-desk, billing and clinical staff, not IT people.
Remote staff reach the EHR and billing systems only from verified, healthy devices.
Find out which AI tools your team is already using with patient information, before an auditor does.
Risk analysis support and the documentation that shows which HIPAA safeguards are actually in place.
The Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to protect electronic patient information with administrative, physical and technical safeguards. It starts with a documented risk analysis, followed by managing the risks you find. That includes access controls, audit logging, protection against malware, contingency planning such as backups, and workforce training.
Only with tools that are set up for it. Any vendor whose tool receives patient information needs a business associate agreement, and the tool's data settings need to fit your privacy obligations. Consumer AI accounts usually don't qualify. We help you find which tools are in use, approve the right ones and write a policy staff can follow.
HHS proposed updates to the Security Rule in January 2025 that would make several safeguards, such as multi-factor authentication, encryption and asset inventories, explicit requirements. Until a final rule is published the current rule applies, but those controls are already what attackers test for, so they're worth putting in place now.
If the laptop is encrypted and managed, you can lock or wipe it remotely, and encryption can affect whether the loss counts as a reportable breach. If it isn't, the practice may face breach notification obligations. That's why we make encryption and central management standard on the devices we manage.
No. Your EHR vendor secures their platform. We secure everything around it: the people, devices, accounts and access your practice controls. We work alongside your existing IT provider if you have one.
