Healthcare IT security, in plain English.
Twenty guides written for the person who runs the practice — not the IT department. Cybersecurity risk, patient data, HIPAA, and the everyday protections that matter most.
Cybersecurity Risk Management for Healthcare Clinics
Practical guides: the real risks facing a small clinic, what an attack looks like, and a 90-day plan to get ahead of them.
Clinical Patient Data Security
Where patient data actually lives in your practice — and how to protect it at rest, in transit, and everywhere in between.
HIPAA Compliance for Local Medical Clinics
The Security Rule, the Privacy Rule, breach notification, business associates, and the annual risk assessment — in plain English.
- The HIPAA Security Rule, in Plain English
- The HIPAA Privacy Rule: What Your Front Desk Can and Can’t Do
- The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule: Timelines and Who You Must Tell
- Business Associate Agreements: Your Vendors Handle Patient Data Too
- The HIPAA Risk Assessment: What It Is and How a Small Clinic Runs One
Healthcare Data Protection Standards
The everyday protections that matter most: MFA, patching, passwords, Wi-Fi, and how to judge an IT provider.

Frequently asked questions
Do these guides apply to dental practices?
Yes — most were written with dental and medical clinics in mind. HIPAA, ransomware, and backup basics work the same whether you're a dental office in Portland or a medical clinic in Corpus Christi.
Are these guides a substitute for a HIPAA risk assessment?
No. They're plain-English education to help you understand what matters. The formal annual risk assessment is its own process — and it's required.
How much does managed IT cost for a clinic?
$150–$300 per seat per month, depending on your security needs and setup. You'll know your exact number before you sign anything.
