IT Support for Medical PracticesHIPAA. EHR Up. PHI Protected.
BAA-Ready. Ransomware Defended.

Our IT support for medical practices includes HIPAA Security Rule compliance implementation and maintenance, Business Associate Agreement execution, EHR and practice management support (Epic, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Allscripts, Kareo, DrChrono, Greenway Health, and others), medical ransomware defense (endpoint protection, email security, network segmentation, immutable backup), PHI access controls and audit logging, encrypted data transmission and storage, 24/7 NOC and SOC monitoring, and on-site support at medical practices across NJ, NY & CT — all under one HIPAA-compliant flat monthly rate per user with no per-ticket charges.

Yes — Gradius executes a Business Associate Agreement as a standard, first-step component of every medical practice engagement. As an IT provider with access to systems that may store or transmit ePHI, Gradius qualifies as a business associate under HIPAA, and a BAA is legally required before engagement begins. We also help practices identify other vendor relationships that require BAAs — cloud storage providers, patient communication platforms, billing systems, telehealth tools, and others — closing the BAA coverage gaps that most practices have accumulated over time.

We serve medical practices across all specialties in NJ, NY & CT — primary care and internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, cardiology, orthopedics, neurology, psychiatry and behavioral health, psychology and counseling, physical therapy and rehabilitation, chiropractic, dermatology, gastroenterology, urology, ophthalmology, ENT, pulmonology, endocrinology, rheumatology, oncology, urgent care, and multi-specialty group practices. Each specialty has specific EHR preferences, clinical workflow requirements, and sometimes specialty-specific regulatory obligations — we build IT programs around the specific practice rather than a generic healthcare template.

Extremely serious — and the threat is specifically directed at smaller practices, not just large hospital systems. HHS's Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center has issued specific advisories about ransomware campaigns targeting small and mid-size physician practices. Attackers target small practices because they often have weaker defenses, less IT infrastructure, and are more likely to pay quickly to restore patient access. A successful ransomware attack at a medical practice encrypts EHR and patient records, triggers HIPAA breach notification requirements, and can disrupt patient care for days or weeks while recovery proceeds. The combination of operational disruption, regulatory obligation, and care continuity pressure makes medical practices extremely high-pressure targets.

Most medical practices are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. The onboarding includes a HIPAA IT assessment, BAA execution, EHR infrastructure audit, deployment of monitoring and security agents, implementation of required access controls and audit logging, and a meeting with physician-owners and practice management — structured to avoid interference with patient scheduling and clinical operations. For practices with pressing compliance concerns — a recent incident, a patient complaint, or an upcoming OCR audit — we prioritize the HIPAA assessment and remediation on an accelerated schedule.

No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Medical practices stay with Gradius because HIPAA compliance is continuously maintained, EHR systems run reliably, ransomware defenses are in place, and IT stops creating regulatory and operational risk for the physicians and staff who depend on it every day. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
