Healthcare focus

Healthcare systems that stay up — and stand up in an audit

Healthcare and dental environments are under constant pressure: vendors, aging systems, compliance requirements, and ransomware targeting. We build a defensible operating model focused on identity, segmentation, verified backups, and evidence-ready processes.

Core priorities

  • Identity and access control: MFA enforcement, role boundaries, and vendor account governance.
  • Backup integrity: Immutable backups, routine restore testing, and documented recovery procedures.
  • Network segmentation: Clinical systems isolated from office, guest, and vendor access.
  • Device hygiene: Patch strategy, endpoint baselines, and controlled administrative rights.
  • Audit readiness: Policies aligned to operations with evidence that does not depend on memory.

AI in healthcare and dentistry: controlled or it becomes liability

AI can reduce operational burden—documentation, triage, internal search—but unmanaged AI introduces risk: data leakage, non-auditable decisions, and uncontrolled actions.

  • Explicit rules on what data AI can and cannot access.
  • Human review for high-impact outputs and actions.
  • Prompt, output, and tool-call logging for accountability.
  • Guardrails around PHI handling and retention.

Typical deliverables

  • Identity and access baseline (staff and vendors)
  • Backup architecture redesign and restore drill schedule
  • Network segmentation and remote access hardening
  • HIPAA-aligned operational checklists and evidence templates for healthcare and dental practices
  • AI usage policy and controlled agent rollout plan
