Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need tech support for cybersecurity and HIPAA?

Yes! Small healthcare providers are increasingly at risk. Smaller practices lack dedicated IT staff but are just as vulnerable: simply losing an unencrypted laptop with patient records could lead to a major breach, leading to fines, reputational damage, or even closure. Good IT support helps prevent that.

How often do we need an IT or security check-up?

At least annually, or whenever you introduce significant changes such as new EHR, remote work, or telehealth tools. HHS has proposed yearly audits and tighter cybersecurity rules starting 2025. Think of it like an eye exam for your systems.

What should our IT partner actually do, besides fixing printers?

Beyond basic helpdesk support, look for proactive tasks like:

  • Installing MFA

  • Enabling encryption

  • Segmenting networks

  • Running vulnerability scans and penetration tests

  • Regular compliance reviews and employee training

    These safeguards address both HIPAA and real-world cyber threats

How many IT incidents actually affect small clinics?

Quite a few. Human error accounts for nearly 25% of healthcare breaches, and ransomware incidents spiked 264% in 2024. Without layered defenses and ongoing vigilance, smaller clinics are sitting ducks.

Can a standard IT vendor do this, or do we need specialist help?

General IT can maintain basic systems, but healthcare demands expertise in compliance. HHS-backed guidance like the Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) exists specifically for small clinics and outlines 10 key defense steps. A specialist (like InnoTek!) familiar with HIPAA and healthcare IT is best equipped.

How much could a breach cost us?

The average cost of a healthcare data breach in 2023 was about $15 million, factoring in fines, legal costs, and cleanup, not to mention the cost of losing patient trust. Meanwhile, proactive IT support and regular audits typically cost a fraction of that—and could save your clinic.
