Practice Armor®

Practice Armor®: Protecting Your Practice, Protecting Your Patients

In today’s digital age, dental practices are increasingly targeted by cyber threats, putting sensitive patient data and your reputation at risk. If you manage your own IT or rely on a small local IT provider, the risks are even greater. With evolving cyber threats and stringent HIPAA regulations, your current approach might not be enough. That’s why we created Practice Armor® – a low-cost, comprehensive managed service tailored for dental practices.

The Risks of Self-Managed IT or Small IT Providers

• Inadequate Security Measures: Without enterprise-grade protection, your systems are vulnerable to ransomware, malware, and data breaches.
• Lack of Proactive Monitoring: Small providers often lack the resources to continually monitor your network, leaving threats undetected until it’s too late.
• HIPAA Compliance Gaps: Ensuring full compliance requires expertise and robust systems. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and damage to your reputation.
• Limited Backup and Recovery Plans: Without reliable backups, data loss can cripple your operations.
• Reactive IT Support: Waiting for issues to arise before addressing them leads to downtime and costly disruptions.

Practice Armor® is a managed service solution designed to give dental professionals peace of mind. Our affordable offering ensures your systems are secure, compliant, and proactively managed so you can focus on what you do best—delivering exceptional patient care.

“Our doctor is a self-proclaimed computer “nerd” who enjoys managing our IT and has always been mindful of keeping costs low. Convincing him to participate in the free Practice Armor checkup took some effort, but the results were eye-opening. The checkup revealed several vulnerabilities that needed immediate attention.

“We’ve worked with our trusted local IT provider for over 10 years, and our team loves having him as part of our practice. When we added a new doctor to the team, he expressed concerns about our cybersecurity, referencing an issue he encountered at his previous practice. As a precaution, we took advantage of Practice Armor’s free cybersecurity checkup. During the checkup, we discovered that our backups hadn’t been functioning for several months. Our IT provider quickly resolved the issue, and we decided to implement Practice Armor for additional security oversight. Since then, we’ve had peace of mind knowing that there are multiple layers of protection ensuring our practice’s safety. We couldn’t be happier with the added assurance Practice Armor provides.”
