HIPAA-Compliant IT Support for LA Medical Practices\n\nLos Angeles medical practices — from solo dentists to multi-site clinics — are bound by HIPAA. Your IT provider is part of that compliance.\n\n## Must-haves from your MSP\n\n- A signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA)\n- Encrypted backups with documented restore testing\n- Endpoint encryption on every workstation and laptop\n- MFA enforced on email and remote access\n- Annual risk assessment and remediation plan\n\n## Common gaps we see in LA practices\n\n1. Personal Gmail used for PHI (no BAA)\n2. Old on-prem servers without encryption at rest\n3. No documented offboarding for departed staff\n\nNeed a vetted provider?
