Medical and dental practices in San Jose face real penalties for HIPAA violations — and most IT firms don't understand what compliance actually requires from a technical standpoint. We do. LineSight Digital provides HIPAA-aware IT services built specifically for healthcare practices in Silicon Valley.
The HIPAA Security Rule mandates specific technical safeguards for any practice that creates, stores, or transmits electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). That means your EMR system, email, backups, remote access, staff devices, and even your Wi-Fi network are in scope.
Violations carry fines from $100 to $50,000 per violation — and OCR audits are increasingly targeting small practices. The most common IT-related failures we see during assessments:
None of these are hard to fix — but they need to be identified first. That's what our HIPAA IT assessment covers.
Everything from the initial risk assessment to ongoing monitoring — handled by a single point of contact who knows your practice.
A technical audit of your IT environment against HIPAA Security Rule requirements. We identify gaps, rate risk levels, and give you a written remediation plan — the same documentation OCR expects to see.
Unique user accounts for every staff member, role-based access to patient data, multi-factor authentication enforcement, and automatic session timeouts on clinical workstations.
Full disk encryption on all workstations and laptops, encrypted email for ePHI transmission, and secure file sharing — replacing unencrypted email attachments that create liability.
HIPAA requires a tested, documented backup process. We set up automated backups, run restore tests, and provide the written documentation your practice needs for compliance.
Activity logging on systems containing ePHI, alerts for unauthorized access attempts, and regular log reviews — giving you the audit trail HIPAA requires.
M365 is HIPAA-eligible with proper configuration. We set up the Business Associate Agreement with Microsoft, configure retention policies, enable audit logging, and secure your tenant to meet HIPAA requirements.
Any practice that handles ePHI needs HIPAA-compliant IT. We work with practices of all sizes across San Jose and the Bay Area.
Imaging systems, practice management software (Dentrix, Eaglesoft), patient portals, and front-desk workstations — all in scope for HIPAA.
EMR/EHR systems, lab integrations, telehealth platforms, and remote access for providers — configured and secured for HIPAA compliance.
Telehealth platforms, session notes, patient intake forms, and HIPAA-compliant communication tools for therapists and counselors.
Practice management software, scheduling systems, and staff device management for allied health practices.
Most generalist IT firms treat HIPAA as a checkbox. We understand what the Security Rule actually requires technically — and we've implemented it for practices across Silicon Valley.
Based in San Jose — we can be at your practice the same day. No dispatching techs from across the state, no remote-only support for issues that need hands-on work.
HIPAA IT assessments start at $500 flat. Ongoing managed IT from $125/user/month. All rates on our pricing page — no hidden fees, no scope creep.
We provide the written policies, risk assessment reports, and remediation documentation that HIPAA requires — and that OCR auditors actually look for during investigations.
A system outage in a medical practice can't wait days for a ticket response. Managed clients get a 4-hour SLA — 1-hour target for production-down situations.
Most practices get to a defensible HIPAA posture within 30–60 days. Here's how it works.
We audit your full IT environment against HIPAA Security Rule requirements and produce a written risk assessment report with gap analysis.
You get a prioritized list of fixes ranked by risk level, with specific recommendations and cost estimates — no vague "you should improve security" advice.
We handle the technical fixes — encryption, MFA, access controls, backup setup, M365 configuration, audit logging — and document everything.
Monthly managed IT keeps your practice continuously compliant — monitoring, patching, access reviews, and updated documentation as your team and systems change.
Tell us about your practice and we'll review your current IT environment against HIPAA Security Rule requirements — no obligation, no sales pressure, just a straight assessment of where you stand.
