Healthcare MSPs
- Healthcare-focused MSPs (managed IT): we have not verified any specific MSP yet. Pricing is usually quote-based per user or device.
- Ask any MSP: Will you sign a BAA? Do you perform or support the annual security risk analysis? What is your backup, encryption and incident-response process? Who owns the documentation?
- An MSP handles IT security; it does not replace policies, training and a designated privacy officer.
How to choose
- Solo or very small practice that will do the work: software such as Accountable or Compliancy Group, or a $499 SRA tool.
- Want someone else to do it: a consultant or outsourced officer. Get scope and deliverables in writing.
- Training only: per-user online courses.
