HIPAA compliance means your practice protects patient health information the way federal law requires. For most dental offices, that comes down to three rules:
Most compliance vendors hand you a report and leave. Because Darkhorse also manages your IT, the gaps we find in your assessment get fixed by the same team.
The most common HIPAA failure is a missing risk assessment. HHS's Office for Civil Rights keeps citing it in settlements, and it's usually the first document investigators ask for after a breach. Read our HIPAA risk assessment guide.
A documented review of how patient data moves through your practice, from your practice management software and imaging to email and backups.
The Security Rule controls your practice needs, deployed and monitored for you.
Phishing is one of the main ways attackers get into dental offices. IRONSCALES adds an AI-driven layer on top of your email to catch what standard filters miss.
Compliance isn't a once-a-year project. Every month, your team gets a HIPAA check-in email from Darkhorse that keeps security and privacy on everyone's radar between assessments.
