HIPAA Security
HIPAA is daunting. Petronella Technology Group (PTG) can help. PTG understands that you are in business to help your patients feel better, and so are we. With our portfolio of HIPAA compliance and security products, we diagnose and treat cybersecurity, the same way you diagnose and treat your patients. We help your patients feel better about the security of their Personal Health Information (PHI and ePHI) while you help your patients feel better about their health. And just like you, PTG customizes the HIPAA services we provide based on the needs of your practice. We know that there is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution to HIPAA compliance. We are a small business and we take pride in the fact that we really get to know your needs and the needs of your office. We offer a free consultation in order to find out what is relevant to you and your practice, and offer a personalized solution in our suite of HIPAA Compliance products.
PTG Comprehensive HIPAA Compliance Packages
You have absolutely no real clue where to start on your road to HIPAA compliance. After all, you got into the medical field to help your patients feel better, not worry about cybersecurity, right? Don’t worry. Not only are you not alone but this describes the vast majority of medical practices, and we are here to help! You’re a new practice (or at least new to HIPAA Compliance) and you have no idea where to even start. Lucky for you, we do! With these in-depth, comprehensive HIPAA-Compliant packages, that allow us to do most of the work while you focus on the health of your patients:
PTG’s HIPAA Complete Plan
Petronella Technology Group (PTG) knows HIPAA. It’s a confusing maze, but we’ve made it to the other side and we now know HIPAA inside and out. Which is why we can not only offer you a COMPLETE solution to HIPAA compliance, but we most medical practices HIPAA compliant in 12 months. Run from anyone who promises IMMEDIATE HIPAA compliance.

Because if they tell you they can, then it’s clear they don’t understand the layered, complex nature of HIPAA, and they will lead you to disaster. To implement HIPAA completely and correctly, you must tackle it layer-by-layer. Once one layer is cleared, a door opens to the next one, allowing you to weave yourself through the maze and come out on the other side alive to tell the tale. While we do offer a la carte solutions, you would be wise to tackle HIPAA head-on. Or should we say, let us tackle HIPAA for you. Our typical plan of action consists of the following:
Month 1: Regulatory Compliance
Month 2: What Does it Take to Comply With HIPAA?
Month 3: Jobs to Be Done
Month 4: Security Controls
Month 5: Important Policies and Procedures
Month 6: HIPAA Security Awareness Training
Month 7: HIPAA Security Awareness Training (Continued)
Month 8: Risk Assessment Overview
Month 9: Compliance Services
Month 10: Remediation
Month 11: Remediation (Continued)
Month 12: HIPAA Compliant and Peace of Mind

We here at PTG understand that while some practices feel like it would be best to dive-in head-on into the pool of HIPAA compliance, the temperature may be a little too cold for others, who would prefer to slowly ease into the HIPAA water, instead. Sometimes the time and/or price commitment of total HIPAA compliance can be restrictive for the newest and/or smallest practices, and you may prefer to start small. That’s why we offer our “Value Packs,” instead. These will set you on the road to HIPAA compliance but will allow you to do so at your own pace.
PTG’s HIPAA Essentials Security Checkup
Today, more than ever, it is vitally important that your practice is HIPAA-compliant, regardless of the size of your company. Which is why we are offering you these valuable services at an unbelievably low price:

- Provides you with a personalized blueprint showing you the exact steps needed to get your business on track to attract new patients
PTG’s HIPAA Encrypted DNS Network Security Suite
What is a DNS and why should it be encrypted? A Domain Name Server (DNS) is what translates your website’s numerical address (which is called your IP (Internet Protocol) address into letters and words so that your website name can be memorable and identifiable. Protecting it is important because when your DNS settings are not working and/or set to default, you are vulnerable to cyberattacks AND performance issues, which is horrible for you AND your customers' experience.
PTG’s HIPAA Encrypted DNS Network Security Suite keeps your DNS safe and protected, all with HIPAA compliance in mind.
PTG HIPAA Assessments
Some people prefer to merely dip their toes into the complex body of water that is HIPAA compliance, as opposed to becoming fully submerged. Which is why we offer an assortment of assessments. The first step to becoming HIPAA compliant is knowing exactly where you stand. The only way to figure out what you need to do to become HIPAA compliant is by conducting an assessment:
- Reviews over 23 technical points related to your digital marketing, website and SEO, to uncover issues with your current marketing plan so you can bring new patients through your door, all while maintaining HIPAA security controls.
- Gives a bird's eye view of your current marketing landscape by creating a detailed report that examines exactly where your business is today.

PTG’s HIPAA Essentials Security Checkup
PTG has 21+ years of real world cybersecurity and IT experience. During our HIPAA Essentials Security Checkup we will:
- Give your company a bird's eye view of the current landscape
- Identify vulnerabilities that need to be remediated
- Provide you with a blueprint to HIPAA compliance, specific for your business
THE VALUE OF A SECURITY ASSESSMENT AND AFFORDABLE REPORT CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. The most devastating compromises are rarely enabled by the kinds of problems that vulnerability scanners and bug bounties will uncover.
Threat Focused Security: Cybercriminals want your data and we know exactly how they're going to get it. Understanding real world threats is our expertise. Most vulnerability assessments focus on your web application and your network, but these are not always the biggest threats to your security. Your practice benefits from our HIPAA Essentials Security Checkup with increased security awareness. It provides you with in-depth, actionable reporting and analyses which provide practical solutions to your security deficiencies and will help facilitate your cyber-planning going forward. After the HIPAA Essentials Security Checkup, you will clearly understand where the vulnerabilities of your systems lie and where you are most likely to experience attacks. You will also see, beyond the shadow of a doubt, if your existing defenses are adequate for protecting your organization against viable attacks or if you are rife for a cyberattack. Your high-risk vulnerabilities will be exposed. The most important benefit is that the knowledge gained will help both management and staff to see the “Security Reality.” It will dispel myths commonly held by organizations with internally mentioned comments like:
- "It couldn't happen to us."
- "We don't have anything worth taking anyway."
- "Our system are adequately protected by our firewalls."
