Your patients trust you with their health.
Who’s protecting the data they trust you with?
Cyber Frog Consulting is the independent security and HIPAA risk partner built for private practices, clinics, and speciality groups — with no software to sell and no agenda except making sure your posture is actually defensible.
In 2025, OCR issued over $6.6 million in HIPAA fines. The 2026 Security Rule will make encryption, MFA, and annual penetration testing mandatory for every covered entity — regardless of size.
You don’t need another tool.
You need someone accountable for the whole picture.
Most practices have antivirus, a firewall, and maybe an IT provider.
What they don't have is someone who owns the plan, coordinates the vendors, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
That's what Cyber Frog does.
-
Know What to Fix First
A rapid risk assessment that cuts through the noise and ranks your actual exposure, not a 40-page report that sits in a drawer.
-
See HIPAA Gaps in Plain English
Your documentation and operational risk translated into language you can act on, not compliance jargon that requires a lawyer to interpret.
-
Stop Managing Vendors Alone
We coordinate introductions to vetted security, compliance, and cyber insurance specialists so you're not fielding three proposals and hoping they connect.
-
Keep the Plan Moving
Ongoing accountability so the work actually gets done — not just recommended.
Built for practice owners who don’t have a CISO on staff.
If you're running a private practice, your security responsibilities look nothing like a hospital's — but the consequences of a breach are just as severe. We work with:
Private medical and dental practices
Physical therapy practices and med spas
Multi-location clinics and growing specialty groups
Practice owners and administrators who have real patient data, real compliance
obligations, and no dedicated security team to manage it all
If you've been hoping your IT provider has the HIPAA side handled, you are exposing yourself to risk.
Every layer of your security reviewed.
Compliance that holds up under scrutiny.
Nothing left to chance.
Healthcare-only focus.
That means we understand the constraints of PHI, EMR, and HIPAA audits. You don't have to explain your world to us.
Ongoing accountability, not a one-time report.
Most consultants hand you a document and disappear. We stay in the picture through execution.
No software sales.
Our recommendations are based on what your practice actually needs, not what pays us a referral fee.
One call. Zero fluff.
You'll leave knowing exactly where you stand.
You'll get an honest read on your biggest exposure areas and what actually needs to happen about them. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you. Here's what we cover:
Your current setup — EHR, email, backups, endpoints, and remote access. We map what you have before we say what’s missing.
Where the real risk lives — We separate what's solid from what's held together by assumptions, and identify where a breach or downtime is most likely to start.
What comes next — You'll leave with your top risk areas identified, a realistic timeline to address them, and a clear next step. No homework, no ambiguity.
Questions We Hear Before the First Call.
-
Yes — and we're designed to. We fill the gap between keeping your systems running and maintaining a defensible security and HIPAA posture. Most of our clients have an IT provider already. We coordinate with them, not around them.
-
IT providers keep your systems running. That's their job, and most do it well. What they typically don't do: own your HIPAA risk assessment, coordinate your compliance documentation, manage your security vendor relationships, or prepare you for an OCR audit. That's the gap Cyber Frog fills. We're not competitors — we're the layer your IT provider isn't resourced to provide.
-
Our engagements are scoped based on practice size, existing infrastructure, and compliance posture — which is why the first call exists. We'll give you a clear picture of what an engagement looks like and what it costs before you make any decision.
-
No. We make introductions to vetted specialists when a practice needs them, but there's no obligation to use anyone we recommend. Our value is in the coordination and accountability, not in steering you toward partners.
-
Is this only for larger organizations? No. We specifically built this for smaller practices — the ones that don't have an internal security team, can't afford a full-time CISO, and are trying to figure out HIPAA compliance without a dedicated compliance staff. Solo practitioners, 2–5 provider groups, and multi-location clinics with under 50 employees are exactly who we work with.
-
You're not alone. Most small practices haven't. That's exactly where we start — and it's not a reason to delay the conversation. The sooner you have a clear picture of where you stand, the more options you have before enforcement or a breach forces the issue.
-
Call us. We'll help you understand what happened, assess the scope, and determine your notification obligations under HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule. Acting quickly matters — both for limiting exposure and for demonstrating good faith to regulators.
The 2026 HIPAA Security Rule changes are coming. Your practice's clock is ticking.
The proposed updates eliminate the "addressable" loophole that small practices have relied on for years. Mandatory encryption, multi-factor authentication, and annual penetration testing will apply to every covered entity — regardless of size or resources.
The practices that act before the deadline will have documentation, a defensible posture, and a plan. The ones that wait will be scrambling to catch up under new mandatory requirements.
Book a call. We'll show you exactly where you stand before the rules change.
