Common gaps
Where small practices usually have HIPAA gaps
Most gaps are ordinary IT problems that put patient information at risk.
01
No current risk assessment
The assessment was done once, years ago, or never written down.
02
Email without strong protection
No multi-factor authentication, and phishing emails reach staff inboxes.
03
Backups nobody has tested
Backups run, but no one has restored from them to prove they work.
04
Shared logins and old accounts
Staff share passwords, and former employees still have access.
How we work
How SupportMax helps your practice prepare for HIPAA
We start with what you have and fix the most important gaps first.
See What's Putting You at Risk
1. Assess
We review your computers, accounts, email, backups, and network, and document where patient information lives and what could put it at risk.
2. Fix the priorities
We turn on multi-factor authentication, secure devices and email, set up tested backups, and close old access, in a sensible order.
3. Keep it working
We monitor and update your systems, train your staff, and keep records of what was done so you can show it.
Safeguards
How our IT work maps to HIPAA safeguards
The HIPAA Security Rule groups safeguards into three kinds. Here is the IT side of each.
Administrative
Plans, people, and records
Security risk assessment support
Security awareness training
Access reviews when staff join or leave
Help with security questionnaires
Physical
Devices and the office
Laptops and phones set up securely
Firewall and Wi-Fi management
Device records and secure setup
Onsite help on the Westside of Los Angeles when needed
Technical
Protecting systems and data
Multi-factor authentication
Security software and monitoring
Email filtering for phishing
Managed backups with restore testing
NIST's SP 800-66 guide to implementing the HIPAA Security Rule describes the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards in detail. The government's free Security Risk Assessment Tool helps small and medium practices with their risk assessment.
Honest limits
Help preparing, not promises
No IT provider can make a practice HIPAA compliant on its own. HIPAA also covers privacy policies, patient rights, and legal agreements that sit with you and your compliance advisor. What we do is handle the IT side well: put sensible safeguards in place, keep them working, and document them so you can show your work. See our IT compliance services for HIPAA, PCI DSS, and similar requirements.

Have a question that isn't here? Call 310.331.8119 or schedule a free consultation.
Will SupportMax make our practice HIPAA compliant?
No IT provider can promise that. We help you prepare by handling the IT side: safeguards, monitoring, training, and documentation. Your compliance advisor handles legal and policy questions.
Who is HIPAA IT support for?
Medical, dental, therapy, and other practices that handle patient information, and businesses that work with patient data for them, such as billing services.
Do you work with our EHR?
We support the computers, accounts, network, and security around your EHR, and we coordinate with your EHR vendor when an issue involves their system.
What happens first?
We review your current setup, document what we find, and fix the most important gaps first, usually multi-factor authentication, email protection, and backups.
Do you train our staff?
Yes. Security awareness training and phishing simulations help staff handle patient information safely and spot suspicious emails.
