Compliance-sensitive practices Β· Ohio Valley

Cybersecurity & compliance-ready IT for compliance-sensitive practices.

Mental health, dermatology, labs, allied-health, and other small practices that handle sensitive data rely on REAL Cyber for IT, cybersecurity, and a defensible compliance posture β€” so they can focus on care, not technology.

The risks every small clinic carries. We carry them for you.

  • HIPAA exposure (where applicable)
  • Ransomware against small clinic networks
  • Payment and patient-record data loss
  • Phishing and credential theft
  • Cloud and SaaS sprawl
  • Remote and contractor access risk
  • Insecure backups
  • Cyber-insurance compliance

What we do

Built for compliance-sensitive practices.

  • Compliance readiness

    HIPAA where applicable, plus general data security and policy work that holds up to a cyber-insurance or vendor questionnaire.

  • Managed IT for small clinics

    Day-to-day support, monitoring, and maintenance scaled to the size of your practice β€” not an enterprise.

  • Cybersecurity monitoring

    Continuous threat detection across your endpoints, identities, and email.

  • Backup & disaster recovery

    Tested, off-site backups of your patient and operational data β€” and a recovery plan that actually works.

  • Microsoft 365 & email security

    MFA, conditional access, and email hardening configured to block the phishing your team actually receives.

  • Staff security awareness training

    Short, regular training your team will actually remember.

Specialties

Specialty-specific exposure, handled.

Behavioral & mental health

These practices carry HIPAA plus 42 CFR Part 2, the stricter federal rule for substance-use treatment records β€” so a single mishandled disclosure is a serious violation. We secure telehealth sessions and the platforms these teams run on, like SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Valant.

Dermatology

Dermatology is image-heavy and often runs on a specialty EHR like ModMed, where clinical photos are part of the record β€” so a breach or lost study exposes PHI that can’t be re-taken. We protect those images, the EHR, and the systems around them.

Labs & diagnostics

Labs run a laboratory information system (LIS) in a CLIA-regulated environment, where uptime and data integrity decide whether results reach providers correctly β€” a delayed or corrupted result is a clinical risk, not just an IT one. We keep the LIS available, backed up, and trustworthy.

FAQ

Questions compliance-sensitive practices ask us.

Do you work with behavioral and mental-health practices subject to 42 CFR Part 2?

Yes. Behavioral and mental-health practices carry HIPAA plus 42 CFR Part 2 β€” the stricter federal rule for substance-use treatment records β€” so a single mishandled disclosure is a serious violation. We secure telehealth sessions and the platforms these teams run on, like SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Valant, and build the documented safeguards that keep those records protected.

Can you support dermatology practices and labs?

Yes. Dermatology is image-heavy and often runs on a specialty EHR like ModMed, where clinical photos are part of the record β€” we protect those images, the EHR, and the systems around them. Labs run a laboratory information system (LIS) in a CLIA-regulated environment where uptime and data integrity are clinical concerns, not just IT ones β€” we keep the LIS available, backed up, and trustworthy.

Which specialty systems do you support?

We already know the systems compliance-sensitive practices run β€” behavioral-health platforms like SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Valant; dermatology EHRs like ModMed; and laboratory information systems in CLIA environments β€” along with Microsoft 365, your network, and the backups around them. Support never starts with "we'll learn your software."

Do you only work with practices in the Ohio Valley?

Our fully managed onsite service covers the Ohio Valley β€” Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Ongoing cybersecurity and monitoring, remote IT support, and security awareness training are delivered to practices anywhere in the US, along with risk assessments, compliance programs, and virtual CISO engagements.
