HIPAA Compliance Consulting

Risk assessments, policy writing, Business Associate Agreements, and breach response planning — so an audit doesn't become a crisis.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you respond to a Columbus dental practice emergency?

Our helpdesk answers Columbus calls within minutes during business hours and within 15 minutes after hours. Most software, network, and user-access issues are resolved remotely the same hour. For hardware emergencies — a dead imaging server, a failed switch, a ransomware incident — we dispatch on-site technicians through our regional network. Columbus-area dental practices receive 24/7 remote support and scheduled on-site visits for hardware and project work.

Does Siotek send on-site technicians to Columbus?

Yes. We're a remote-first MSP, which means most of our support is delivered instantly over secure remote sessions — but we regularly dispatch technicians to Columbus for practice build-outs, server installs, network cabling, hardware replacement, and scheduled maintenance. Remote-first doesn't mean remote-only.

What practice management software is most common in Ohio dental offices?

Dentrix is the leading PM software in Columbus, followed by Open Dental and Eaglesoft. Siotek supports all of them — we've migrated practices between every major platform and we maintain direct escalation relationships with Henry Schein (Dentrix), Patterson (Eaglesoft), and Open Dental Software.

How do you handle HIPAA breach notification if something goes wrong?

Every Siotek client has a documented breach response plan as part of their HIPAA program. If we detect a suspected incident on your Columbus network — via Huntress EDR, SIEM alerts, or user report — we triage within the first hour, contain the scope, preserve forensic evidence, and notify your practice. From there we help you meet the HHS 60-day breach notification window if the incident qualifies as a reportable breach. The compliance obligation stays with your practice, but you won't navigate it alone — we provide the technical controls, documentation, and incident support you need to meet it.

Do you support Dentrix Ascend and other cloud practice management platforms?

Yes — cloud PM platforms like Dentrix Ascend shift some responsibility to the vendor, but your practice still needs reliable network, endpoint security, imaging integration, workstation management, and user provisioning. That's what we handle. We've migrated Ohio practices from on-prem Dentrix to Dentrix Ascend without losing a chair-hour.
