IT Risk Management

We believe your data deserves the same assurances as your financials.

Your production data is always changing. Every new hire, new workstation or device that joins the network creates new data sets that should be added to your backup environment. Are these new data sources being accounted for in your backups? Do you keep your backup software current with all the most recent patches? How often do you validate your backup data to ensure it would restore your data the way you envision it will? There are hundreds of data variables that change regularly in the course of running a practice.

Patient Shield partners with you to make sure this data is securely protected, backed up and ready to restore if needed.

Our Audit services provide independent, third-party testing, assessment and recommendations that help identify vulnerabilities and risks.

Our Advisory services provide oversight of, or perform implementation of risk remediation plans, while our Assurance services offer business continuity monitoring and data redundancy options.

And, if the worst case scenario becomes your reality, our Patient Shield Assist services are available to help you navigate through and recover from a data disaster.
