Medical, therapy, and specialty practices across Arlington, Fairfax, and the DMV get access control, encrypted workstations, secure Wi‑Fi, tested backups, and vendor review support—without hiring a full-time compliance team.
Real engagements for medical, therapy, and specialty practices that need patient data protected and systems that hold up to scrutiny.
New practice setup
Day-one ready
Practice software
Documented
Accounts, MFA, encrypted laptops, printers, segmented Wi‑Fi, and practice management apps—configured and documented before the first patient walks in. Common when a practice opens a new suite in Tysons, Reston, or Fairfax.
Encrypted email & file sharing
Microsoft 365
Google Workspace
Sharing policies
Secure email, shared drives, and external sharing rules tuned for how your front desk and clinicians actually work—so patient information stays private without slowing down the day.
Workstation hardening
Encryption
Screen lock
Endpoint protection
Full-disk encryption, screen timeouts, patch discipline, and endpoint protection on every device that touches patient data—with a baseline your team can follow and we can prove in an audit.
If you are a dental practice, start here instead.
Dentistry runs on software this page cannot do justice to. It has its own page—and beside it, the one gap we find in nearly every clinic we take over.
The technical controls behind every HIPAA-aligned Knockout Networks healthcare client—right-sized for small practices, not hospital bureaucracy.
We help small healthcare practices implement the technical safeguards HIPAA expects—access by role, encryption on devices, segmented Wi‑Fi, backups you can restore, and audit-friendly logs—paired with your policies and BAAs. We are an IT partner, not a law firm; your compliance counsel defines legal obligations.
Microsoft Entra
Access control by role
Role-based
MFA
Least privilege
Front desk, clinicians, and billing get the access they need—nothing more—with MFA enforced and admin rights locked down on production workstations.
Microsoft Intune
Encrypted workstations
BitLocker
FileVault
Patching
Full-disk encryption, screen lock policies, and patch baselines on every laptop and desktop—so a lost device does not become a breach report.
UniFi
Secure Wi‑Fi segmentation
Staff vs guest
VLANs
No PHI on guest
Staff, guest, and IoT networks separated on VLANs—so patient Wi‑Fi never shares a subnet with workstations that hold PHI.
Backup & recovery
Cloud & local
Restore drills
Runbooks
Layered backups for cloud mailboxes, file shares, and servers—with quarterly restore tests and written recovery steps your team can follow.
Audit-friendly logging
Sign-in logs
Admin actions
Retention
Identity, admin, and security logs retained and organized—so when an auditor or insurer asks “who accessed what,” you have an answer, not a shrug.
Practice management app support
EHR & PMS
Vendor liaison
Updates
We support the line-of-business apps your practice runs on—opening vendor tickets, coordinating updates, and keeping workstations compatible with your PMS or EHR.
Healthcare IT across Northern Virginia, Washington DC & Maryland
We support medical, therapy, and specialty practices with HIPAA-aligned IT throughout the greater DMV. Dental practices are covered on their own page. Our office is at 13873 Park Center Rd, Suite 184, Herndon, VA 20171. From there we serve the greater DMV—Northern Virginia (Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William, and the rest of NoVA), Washington DC, and Maryland (Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and up to Baltimore), plus Northern Virginia south to Fredericksburg. We are a Northern Virginia shop, not a statewide Virginia vendor covering Richmond or the rural parts of the state. Remote-first IT support everywhere we cover; local engineers for onsite surveys, installs, and projects.
Assess, secure, document, maintain.
01
Assess
We inventory users, devices, email, Wi‑Fi, backups, and vendors—then map gaps against the technical safeguards your policies and BAAs require.
02
Secure
Access control, encryption, network segmentation, endpoint protection, and backup jobs go live—with defaults hardened and exceptions documented.
03
Document
Network diagrams, admin lists, backup results, and vendor BAA status captured in plain English—evidence you can show counsel, insurers, or auditors.
04
Maintain
Ongoing monitoring, patch discipline, restore drills, and vendor reviews—compliance is a rhythm, not a one-time checkbox.
Good to know.
Do you provide HIPAA-aligned healthcare IT in Arlington, Fairfax, and across NoVA?
Yes—we support medical, therapy, and specialty practices across the DMV with technical safeguards, secure infrastructure, and documented backups. Remote-first with local on-site when needed.
Are you HIPAA compliant or do you sign BAAs?
We implement HIPAA-aligned technical safeguards and can sign a business associate agreement (BAA) when our services touch protected health information. We are an IT partner, not a law firm—your compliance counsel defines legal obligations.
How is healthcare IT different from your cybersecurity page?
Cybersecurity covers general small-business protection. This page is for practices that need healthcare-specific safeguards—role-based access, encrypted workstations, segmented Wi‑Fi, audit logging, and vendor/BAA review paired with your policies.
Can you help review our vendors and BAAs?
Yes—we review whether cloud and software vendors offer BAAs, whether yours are signed, and whether settings match what you agreed to. Legal interpretation stays with your counsel; we handle the technical and vendor side.
Do you support our practice management software?
We work with common medical, therapy, and specialty PMS/EHR platforms—handling workstation compatibility, vendor tickets, updates, and backup scope around the apps your practice depends on.
We are a dental practice. Is this the right page?
Our dental IT support page is the better fit. Dentistry runs on its own software—Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve—and its own imaging hardware, and those deserve a straight answer rather than a general one. The safeguards described here still apply; the software knowledge is what differs.
Can you run backup restore drills for our clinic?
Absolutely—we test restores on a schedule and document results. Backup software that never gets restored is wishful thinking; we treat drills as part of the service.
