How a dental clinic became HIPAA audit-ready

A dental practice came to AiVigil with stale HIPAA documentation and unmonitored devices. We closed the gaps and made compliance part of their daily IT.

Client

[ dental clinic ]

Multi-operatory dental practice in the North America and the UK metro.

Industry

Healthcare / dental

Handles ePHI across an EHR, imaging and front-desk systems.

Solution

MedShield

Managed IT + security with HIPAA built in.

The challenge

The practice was growing fast but its IT hadn't kept up. Their last HIPAA risk analysis was years old, several laptops holding patient data weren't encrypted, staff shared logins at the front desk, and nobody had ever tested a backup restore. With an audit on the horizon and a new insurer asking questions, the owner needed to close the gaps quickly — without disrupting patient care.

What we did

We onboarded the clinic onto MedShield, our healthcare managed IT bundle, and rebuilt their compliance foundation from the ground up:

📋

Current HIPAA risk analysis

A real Security Rule risk analysis, kept current — not a one-time template. See our HIPAA approach.

🔐

Encryption & access control

Encrypted every device touching ePHI, enforced MFA and unique logins, and deployed EDR via managed cybersecurity.

📝

Policies & BAAs

Signed a BAA, refreshed written policies, and tracked down missing vendor agreements.

💾

Tested backups

Ransomware-resilient backups with verified restores, plus a documented incident-response plan.

The results

Within their onboarding window, the clinic went from scattered and exposed to continuously audit-ready:
