Security-first, not security-theater
Most "IT security" is a checkbox. A breach isn't.
The attacks that actually hit small practices are boring and preventable — a phished password, an unpatched machine, a backup nobody tested. Here's what we shut down, and every control below is inside the flat rate.
Ransomware goes straight for patient records
Charts, x-rays and imaging, SSNs, insurance and payment details — your systems hold a complete identity and health kit, and that's exactly what attackers encrypt and steal. A breach at a dental or medical office is a reportable HHS event with real liability. Behavior-based EDR on every endpoint, encrypted and tested backups, a business-class firewall, and MFA everywhere keep that data yours.
AI-assisted threat detection
SentinelOne watches behavior, not virus signatures — a process encrypting files at 2 a.m. gets flagged and contained in seconds, automatically. Behind it sits a 24/7 managed SOC layer: AI accelerates the investigation, and a human analyst owns every verdict before anything touches your business.
Shadow AI — the leak nobody planned for
Your team is already pasting things into free AI chatbots — sometimes client data. We write the AI-usage policy, set the technical guardrails in Google Workspace, and monitor for the tools you didn't approve. It's a security control now, not an HR memo.
One stolen password shouldn't cost you the practice
Most breaches don't start with a Hollywood hack — they start with a phished email and a reused password. Without multi-factor authentication, a single stolen credential opens email, the practice-management system, and remote access all at once. We roll MFA out across email, cloud apps, VPN, and remote logins so a leaked password is a dead end, not a front door.
The HIPAA Security Rule expects documented safeguards
A risk analysis, access controls, encryption, audit logging, an incident-response plan, and a signed BAA with every vendor that touches PHI — the Security Rule expects these in writing. We implement those technical controls and hand you the evidence for your file. The compliance program stays yours to own; we make the IT behind it real. (This is IT implementation, not legal advice.)
Signature antivirus misses what actually gets in
Free or built-in antivirus matches known signatures and shrugs at anything new. We run behavior-based endpoint detection and response on every machine, monitored 24/7 by a Security Operations Center — so a suspicious process at 2 a.m. gets isolated and investigated by people, not queued for whenever someone notices.
Per workstation
What every workstation gets — for $125 flat.
Security isn't an add-on line item here. EDR, a 24/7 SOC, MFA, backup, and a managed firewall are already in the number.
Endpoint detection & response
Behavior-based EDR on every machine — not signature antivirus.
24/7 SOC monitoring
A Security Operations Center watches your endpoints around the clock and isolates threats in real time.
MFA everywhere
Multi-factor rolled out across email, cloud apps, VPN, and remote logins — so a stolen password goes nowhere.
Business-class firewall
A managed UniFi firewall with monitored firmware and policy — spec'd by us, bought at our cost.
Backup & disaster recovery
Continuous, ransomware-resistant backup with restores we actually test.
HIPAA compliance support
We implement and document the technical safeguards — you get the written evidence, you own the program.
Firewall and network are fully managed — but hardware is never included. We recommend the right gear and send the links; you buy it at our cost, zero markup. HIPAA compliance support means we implement and document the technical controls; owning and attesting to your compliance program remains your responsibility. Backup and monitoring are subject to fair use; unusually large datasets add storage billed at cost.
"We have antivirus" isn't a security program.
The cheap answer covers one layer and calls it done. Real coverage is layered — and a single breach costs far more than all of it combined.
Our number is $125/workstation — EDR, the SOC, MFA, and backup included, locked for your term. See the full pricing math →
Common questions
Do you make our practice HIPAA compliant?
No — and be wary of anyone who says they do. Compliance is a program you own. What we do is implement and document the technical safeguards the HIPAA Security Rule calls for: a risk analysis, access controls, encryption, audit logging, MFA, backups, and an incident-response plan. We sign a BAA with you and help you get BAAs in place with the vendors that touch PHI, and we hand you the written evidence for your file. That's HIPAA compliance support — IT implementation and documentation, not legal advice.
What is a 24/7 SOC, and why does it matter?
A Security Operations Center is a team of security analysts watching your endpoints around the clock. When SentinelOne flags a suspicious process — encryption behavior, a strange login, a new admin account at 2 a.m. — the SOC investigates and isolates the machine in real time instead of leaving an alert to be noticed in the morning. Behind every endpoint you get software plus people.
How do you handle MFA and stolen passwords?
We roll multi-factor authentication out across email, cloud apps, VPN, and remote logins, and we watch for leaked or reused credentials. The goal is simple: a phished or stolen password on its own opens nothing. It's one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost controls in security, and it's included — not billed as a project.
What does cybersecurity cost?
It's already in the $125 per workstation per month — EDR, the 24/7 SOC, MFA, backup, and a managed firewall are bundled, not add-ons. Servers are $275/month. Three-workstation minimum, twelve-month initial term. Project work — a security remediation, a migration, a new office — is quoted separately in writing, never slipped into the monthly.
What's the difference between antivirus and EDR?
Antivirus matches files against a list of known threats; EDR watches behavior and stops attacks that have never been seen before. Every OG IT workstation gets SentinelOne EDR — it's included in the flat rate, not an add-on.
Do small Houston businesses really get targeted?
Constantly — precisely because attackers assume a 10-person office has no EDR, no backup testing, and no one watching. Most attacks are automated; they don't care how small you are, only how soft.
What is shadow AI?
Employees using unapproved AI tools with company or client data. The fix is policy plus enforcement: approved tools, admin-level controls, and monitoring — so AI helps your team without leaking what you're obligated to protect.
