Which compliance frameworks actually apply to your business?

The answer starts with the data you handle, the contracts you’ve signed, and the customers you serve. Some obligations come from law, others from contractual commitments, and some frameworks help you organize your security program.

Our latest article explains how HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, CMMC, and HITRUST fit into that picture—and which questions to ask before investing in a compliance program.

The practical takeaway: identify your obligations, understand where requirements overlap, and maintain evidence that your controls work.

Your HIPAA binder is in order. The computer wired to your X-ray machine is still running Windows 10, which stopped getting security updates in October 2025.

That's what most HIPAA gaps in small practices actually look like — not a missing policy, but a piece of equipment nobody thought of as IT.

And there's no small-practice exemption: OCR's Right of Access Initiative has passed 50 enforcement actions, including a solo dental practice that settled at $3,500 over a records request.

This article walks through the six places IT usually breaks down in small medical and dental offices, why "addressable" doesn't mean optional (and why the written decision is the part that protects you), and what a real readiness review should examine — most of which has nothing to do with your documents.

If your policies are in place but you're not certain your systems match them, that uncertainty is a finding on its own.

Start a HIPAA readiness review:

The HIPAA gaps in small practices are rarely policy failures. They are operational: unpatched workstations, shared logins, unmapped vendor access.

Before you swipe for those deals, remember: if it looks too good to be true...it probably is. 😬 Cybercriminals are ready to sn**ch your cash and your data faster than you can say "80% off!"

Here’s how to shop safe this Black Friday:

🕵️‍♂️ Watch Out for "Too Good to be True" Deals: If it seems way too cheap, it’s likely a scam. Real brands don’t give away TVs for $50!

🎁 Beware of Fishy Phishing: Don’t click links from unknown senders, even if the deal seems tempting (and who doesn’t love tempting!?)

🔐 Lock It Down with Strong Passwords: Don't let password123 be the reason someone spends your holiday money! 💳
