  • Ransomware resilience

The challenge

Downtime is not an option in patient care.

Healthcare is one of the most targeted industries for ransomware, and every minute of downtime affects patients.

Protected health information

PHI lives in EHRs, email, imaging systems, and mobile devices, all of which must be secured and audited.

EHR and system uptime

When scheduling, charting, or e-prescribing goes down, the whole practice stops.

Small teams, big responsibility

Practices rarely have dedicated IT staff, yet they carry enterprise-level compliance obligations.

How WEBIT helps

Reliable systems, documented safeguards.

We secure and support every device and application your practice depends on, and document the technical safeguards behind your HIPAA risk analysis.

  • HIPAA security risk assessment support
  • Encrypted email and secure patient communication
  • Tested, immutable backups for EHR and imaging data
  • 24×7 monitoring and application allowlisting
  • Business associate agreements (BAA) with WEBIT

Frameworks and requirements

Healthcare frameworks

  • HIPAA Security Rule
  • HITECH
  • NIST CSF

We handle the technical safeguards and documentation. Your privacy officer owns the program.

Clinical systems we support

We know the systems your practice runs on.

A medical practice runs on a short list of systems that cannot go down: the EHR, the devices in each exam room, and the phones at the front desk. We support all of them and work directly with your vendors, so your staff can stay with patients.

EHR and practice management

athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, ModMed, and other EHR and practice management platforms. We manage user access, workstation performance, browser and plug-in updates, and the integrations between them.

Exam rooms and devices

Exam room workstations, label and wristband printers, document scanners, signature pads, e-prescribing security tokens, and connected diagnostic equipment, all kept tested so nothing stalls mid-visit.

Phones, fax, and patient communication

VoIP phone systems, secure electronic fax, patient reminder tools, and portals. We keep the front desk and the network behind it running, with a backup internet connection when it matters.

HIPAA without the guesswork

What a HIPAA-ready practice network looks like.

The HIPAA Security Rule asks every practice to protect electronic patient information with administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. We cover the technical side and give you the documentation to prove it.

Risk analysis and documentation

HIPAA requires a documented security risk analysis. We run it, explain the findings in plain language, track every fix, and keep your policies and vendor agreements organized for an audit or a cyber insurance renewal.

Backups you can restore

Encrypted, offsite backups of the systems and files you hold locally, tested on a schedule. If ransomware hits or a server fails, we restore your data instead of you paying a ransom.

Access and email security

Multifactor sign-in, encrypted email for patient information, accounts shut off the day someone leaves, device encryption on laptops, and phishing training for clinical and front desk staff.

Switching IT providers

How we take over IT for a medical practice.

Changing IT partners should not cost you a single appointment. We plan the transition around clinic hours and do the disruptive work after hours.

Week 1: Discovery

We document every workstation, device, server, license, and vendor contact, and collect what your current provider has, without interrupting patient care.

Weeks 2 to 4: Stabilize

We patch, secure, and back up everything, fix the problems slowing down check-in and charting, and turn on 24/7 monitoring.

Ongoing: Plan ahead

Regular reviews with your named Client Success Manager, a hardware refresh plan, and an IT budget you can see a year in advance.
