What the rules ask for

What HIPAA actually asks of your technology

A risk analysis, in writing
The Security Rule starts here. Where patient data lives, what could go wrong, and what you are doing about it. It is the first thing an investigator asks to see.
Access control, one login each
Each person gets their own account and only the access their job needs. A shared password at the front desk is the fastest way to fail a review.
Audit controls and logs
A record of who opened what and when, kept long enough to be useful. This is required, not optional, and most practices find out too late.
Encryption, and your reasoning
Encryption is marked addressable, which does not mean optional. It means do it, or do something equal and write down why you did.
Backups you have actually restored
A copy of the records that comes back when you need it, and a written plan for running the practice while it does.
Automatic logoff and screen locks
Machines at the front desk and in exam rooms should not sit open and signed in when nobody is standing in front of them.
A signed Business Associate Agreement
Anyone who handles patient data on your behalf, including us, has to sign one before the work starts.
Training your staff, and proof of it
The rule expects your people to be trained and expects you to be able to show it. Phishing is still where most of it starts.
A plan for the day it goes wrong
Who you call, who you tell and how fast. When patient data is exposed the clock is 60 days, and it starts the day you find out.
What we do

The part of compliance that lives in the technology

Security that is actually switched on
Firewalls, two-step sign-in, antivirus that reports back, and rules about who can reach what. Set up and then checked, not just sold to you.
Backups and a way back
Copies kept off site, restores tested, and a written recovery plan so the practice can keep seeing patients while we put things right.
Access control and logging
One account per person, permissions by role, and logging switched on so there is a record to look at afterwards.
Workstations, servers and network
Watched and patched all year on a schedule you approve, with screen locks and automatic logoff set the way the rule expects.
Cabling and clinic Wi-Fi
Cat6 and fiber, exam rooms and front desk, with guest Wi-Fi kept well away from the network your records live on. Our own crew, not a subcontractor.
We sign the BAA
We handle patient data on your behalf, so we are a business associate. We sign the agreement before we start. No exceptions and no arguing about it.
Why clinics pick us

Why practices in Miami and Hialeah choose Barreras IT

Miami and Hialeah, on site
We are a Miami company and we cover on-site work across Miami-Dade, including Hialeah, Doral, Miami Lakes, Medley, Miami Springs, Coral Gables and Brickell.
We answer in Spanish
Front desk, billing and clinical staff can call and write in Spanish or English and get answered the same way.
We work with your software vendor
Whatever record system you run, we get on the call with their support team and give them what they need from our side.
We do not certify you
There is no such thing as a HIPAA certificate from the government. We help you get there and stay there. We will not sell you a badge.
Our prices are published
Every rate is on the site, per device and per month. You can work out the cost before anyone sends you a proposal.
We do our own cabling
Cat6, fiber and access points are our own service line, so exam rooms and the front desk get done properly.
Per device, not per user
A shared front-desk workstation is one device, not three users. For a clinic that usually costs less.
The twelve-month clock
Having recognized security practices in place for the year before an incident is something regulators must take into account. The clock starts the day you start.
After hours by agreement
Work outside business hours is available and priced in your agreement, rather than promised and quietly forgotten.

Questions we get

What clinics ask us

Can you make us HIPAA certified?

No, and nobody can. HHS does not issue or recognize a HIPAA certificate. What is sold as "HIPAA certification" is either a training course or a private audit, and neither one is a government approval. What we do is the technology half: the security, the access control, the logging, the backups and the documentation to show for it. Compliance stays your practice’s legal responsibility. We help you get there and help you stay there.
