Healthcare is a constant target for ransomware and data theft, and the HIPAA Security Rule expects you to prove your safeguards work. BTI helps medical groups, PACE programs, behavioral health and substance use disorder programs, pharmacies and dental groups (plus clinics and hospital outpatient sites) run a documented, monitored security program. It covers risk analysis, 24/7 detection and response, policies, training, and evidence ready for audits and investigations.
This page is part of BTI's connected technology solutions and advisory services for healthcare. With cybersecurity, IT, security systems, communications and AI under one partner, your compliance evidence comes from one place instead of five vendors.

The HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C) requires covered entities and business associates to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI) with administrative, physical and technical safeguards. In practice, that means:
There is no official government "HIPAA certification." Compliance is your organization's determination. BTI provides the controls, monitoring and documentation that support it.
Federally assisted SUD treatment programs must protect patient records under 42 CFR Part 2, which sets stricter consent and disclosure rules than HIPAA and requires formal policies and procedures to protect records. BTI supports Part 2 programs with role-based access, segmented storage, audit logging and documented security policies. Your compliance team or counsel determines how Part 2 applies.
DEA registrants must maintain effective controls against theft and diversion of controlled substances (21 CFR 1301.71–1301.76). BTI provides access control with audit trails for medication storage, video coverage and alarm systems that support those controls, alongside HIPAA-aligned IT security for pharmacy systems.
PACE programs (regulated under 42 CFR Part 460) handle PHI across day centers, clinics, transportation and home care. BTI secures every site and connection under one HIPAA-aligned program with consistent identity, device and network controls.
Dental practices are HIPAA covered entities when they bill electronically. BTI brings the same risk analysis, endpoint protection, backups and policies to multi-location dental groups, sized for practice operations.
For implementation detail, NIST SP 800-66 Rev. 2 maps the Security Rule to practical controls. HHS's 405(d) program publishes Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices.
A HIPAA-aligned risk analysis and a prioritized remediation roadmap, written in plain language for leadership. → Cybersecurity assessment
BTI's 24/7 NOC/SOC partner backed by a SOC 2 audited operations center monitors endpoints, email, identity and network around the clock. Automation triages the noise and analysts act on real threats: 10,000+ alerts handled, zero missed.
Written security policies, risk management plans, training records and control evidence kept ready for auditors, payers and investigators. Our clients pass 94% of audits on the first attempt. → Governance, risk & compliance · IT compliance
A virtual CISO who owns your security program, reports to leadership and works with your compliance or privacy officer. → vCISO services
Firewalls, segmentation and secure remote access that separate clinical systems, medical/IoT devices, cameras and guest Wi-Fi. → Network security · IoT security
Immutable backups, tested restores and an incident response plan, so a ransomware event doesn't stop patient care. Guidance aligns with CISA #StopRansomware.
Vendors that handle PHI on your behalf are business associates under HIPAA. BTI signs HIPAA business associate agreements (BAAs) when needed.
Badge readers, cameras and clinical workstations share the network with your EHR. Because BTI also designs your healthcare security systems, physical access logs and video retention sit inside the same HIPAA program. That covers the physical safeguards many IT-only providers leave out. → Converged security
Your staff see AI chat tools. They don't see the AI virtual workforce that can watch your network, triage alerts and keep systems patched. BTI is your Guided Automation Partner, closing that gap so automation reliably keeps you running and secure.
Guided Automation advisory services are included in all BTI managed IT plans at no extra cost. AI tools such as secure chat workspaces, model access and secure cloud workspaces are optional add-ons. → Healthcare AI · AI security, governance & risk
This page covers protecting ePHI and proving compliance. For day-to-day helpdesk, devices, Wi-Fi and EHR support, see Healthcare IT Services. Most clients use both under one agreement.
The Security Rule requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards for ePHI: a documented risk analysis, access and audit controls, encryption, contingency planning, training and incident response.
Part 2 applies to federally assisted substance use disorder programs and adds stricter confidentiality rules than HIPAA. Ask your counsel to confirm. BTI provides the access controls, logging and policies that support it.
DEA registrants must keep effective controls against theft and diversion of controlled substances (21 CFR 1301.71–1301.76). Access control, video and alarms support those controls.
Yes. BTI signs HIPAA business associate agreements (BAAs) when needed.
No. There is no official government HIPAA certification. Compliance is your organization's determination, supported by documented controls and evidence. BTI provides HIPAA-aligned safeguards and documentation.
Regularly, and whenever your environment changes significantly (new EHR, new location, new cloud service). Many organizations review it annually.
Compliance is documented proof that the required safeguards exist. Cybersecurity is the day-to-day work of keeping attackers out. You need both, and BTI delivers both together.
Only governed tools that are covered in your risk analysis. BTI sets up secure, organization-controlled AI workspaces and an AI use policy so PHI stays out of public AI tools.
Yes. BTI also designs access control and video for healthcare facilities, so physical safeguards and logs sit in the same program.
