Beyond Computer Solutions

Beyond Computer Solutions works with specialized medical practices and attorneys to help them stay out of the news headlines so that a cybersecurity breach doesn’t ruin their good reputation. They know the internal systems and controls needed to help you stay in compliance and keep the bad guys out.

Being entrenched in your industry, they know your business challenges and regulatory needs, i.e., securing documents, accounting systems, and your EMR system. HIPAA Compliance isn’t just a regulatory requirement; it’s also about protecting you from the consequences, which on average start at $10k per incident (think about that loss per patient record!) They ensure their client’s medical practices stay safe and stay in business by providing top-rated customer service through their US-based team.

The conversation starts with a complimentary security assessment, either by phone or video conference.

The company works with office managers, physicians, practice owners, CFOs, attorneys, and CIOs.

An example of what others say: “Beyond Computer Solutions fully understands the magnitude of the regulation and compliance we face in every aspect of our business. We trust their knowledge and expertise in making recommendations that help support and protect our compliance responsibilities. This allows us to focus on our core mission of healthcare.” (Pamela Rhoton, Office Manager, Peachtree Vascular Associates)
