Ransomware attacks on dental practices jumped 78% in 2024. Most cyber insurance carriers now require practices to meet strict security standards before they'll issue a policy — and many are being denied at renewal.
PracticeGuard helps you get audit-ready fast, so you can qualify for coverage and actually survive an attack if one happens.

With 25+ years in healthcare IT, I've seen firsthand how devastating a HIPAA breach can be for a small practice. PracticeGuard exists to make enterprise-grade compliance accessible to every dental and medical practice — regardless of size.
