Compliant storage, not just convenient storage
Consumer-grade cloud storage rarely comes with a Business Associate Agreement. If PHI ends up there, the practice is out of compliance regardless of how reliable the tool feels day to day.
Backup & disaster recovery
BAA-covered cloud backup, defined recovery objectives, and regular restore testing for businesses in Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, and the surrounding area, with remote support available nationwide.
Why "it's backed up" isn't enough
Consumer-grade cloud storage rarely comes with a Business Associate Agreement. If PHI ends up there, the practice is out of compliance regardless of how reliable the tool feels day to day.
We define a clear Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective for your environment, so everyone knows how quickly, and how completely, you can expect to recover.
Attackers increasingly target backup systems directly, knowing that's often an organization's last line of defense. We isolate or make backups immutable so they stay usable even if production systems are compromised.
Backups cover more than the EHR database: practice management software, shared folders of scanned records, and email are included so an outage doesn't stop operations even if one system survives.
We test restores on a defined schedule rather than assuming a backup will work when it's finally needed. Untested backups are the single most common disaster-recovery failure we see.
A written, specific disaster recovery plan tells your team exactly what to do during an outage, instead of leaving critical decisions to be improvised under pressure.

Frequently asked questions
No. Only backup services covered by a signed Business Associate Agreement qualify for PHI, and compliance depends on how the service is configured, not just which product you use.
We test restores on a regular schedule rather than only at initial setup. A backup that has never been restored is unproven, regardless of how long it has been running.
It can, if backups are reachable on the same network with standard write access. We configure backups to be isolated or immutable so a ransomware incident cannot destroy your recovery option.
Our assessment reviews your backup scope, recovery objectives, and restore testing history.
