Ransomware shuts down imaging systems. Phishing steals patient records. HIPAA fines run into six figures. One hour of the right training changes all of that.
Attackers target practice management software and imaging systems (Eaglesoft, Dentrix, Carestream). In 2023, a regional dental group saw ransomware encrypt 12 years of X-rays — 6 weeks of downtime.

Business email compromise targets front-desk and billing staff with fraudulent wire requests disguised as insurance reimbursements. Average loss per incident: $47,000.
HIPAA requires dental practices to train all workforce members on security awareness. A single breach of patient PHI triggers mandatory reporting, HHS investigation, and fines up to $1.9M per violation category. Our training is designed around the specific safeguards HIPAA requires.
