Bayport Networks implements HIPAA-compliant IT infrastructure and managed security for dental practices, clinics, and healthcare organizations across the San Francisco Bay Area. Services include electronic health record system security, Business Associate Agreement compliance, endpoint protection for clinical workstations, and HIPAA Security Rule gap assessments.
The Challenge
HIPAA applies to all dental practices regardless of size. Fines range from $100 to $50,000 per violation. Healthcare data breaches average $10.93 million in total costs — the highest of any industry.
Ransomware is targeting practice management software like Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental. Front office staff are phishing targets. Most practices lack documented incident response plans.

What Your Practice Gets
24/7 monitoring
No more hoping nothing happens overnight. Human analysts at the SOC watch your environment around the clock.
Staff phishing training
Your front desk is your first line of defense. Regular simulated phishing and security awareness training for all staff.
Compliance evidence on demand
When auditors or insurers ask, we have it. Quarterly evidence packages documenting your security controls.
A named security team
Not a ticket queue — people who know your practice, your systems, and your compliance requirements.
AI Threats Targeting Healthcare
AI-powered phishing is the fastest-growing attack vector in healthcare. Attackers use AI to craft convincing messages impersonating insurance companies, lab providers, and referring physicians. Net.Protect's AI-driven detection identifies these threats before they reach your staff. For practices adopting AI scribes or AI-assisted documentation, we help ensure patient data stays protected.

We needed someone who'd respond fast and actually know our systems. Ken and the Bayport team handle our entire IT environment, and when something breaks, we get a real person who already knows the context. That's rare.

We evaluated several providers before choosing Bayport. The difference was honesty and depth. They didn't oversell, they explained what we actually needed, and the technical thoroughness has been consistent from day one.
