Segmented network
Pharmacy or practice system, point of sale, back office, guest Wi-Fi and IoT (fridges, signage, cameras) each on their own network with a firewall between them.

HIPAA-aligned network segmentation
The register, the pharmacy system and the guest Wi-Fi should never meet.
An independent pharmacy or small clinic runs patient records, e-prescribing, card terminals and a waiting-room Wi-Fi on one network nobody designed. We separate them, protect them, back them up, and give you the documentation a HIPAA risk assessment or a card-brand audit asks for.

What the rules and your clients expect
The requirements, and how we meet them.
| HIPAA Security Rule | Technical safeguards: access control, audit logging, integrity, transmission security and a risk assessment that is actually written down. We implement the controls and hand you the evidence. |
|---|---|
| PCI DSS for card terminals | Payment terminals on their own network segment, isolated from everything else, keeps the scope of your PCI self-assessment small and the questionnaire short. |
| DEA EPCS | Electronic prescribing of controlled substances needs two-factor authentication and audited access — we make sure the network and the identity setup support it. |
What we set up
What we set up for pharmacies and clinics.
01
02
Reliable connectivity for the counter
Business fiber with automatic LTE failover, so adjudication, e-prescribing and card terminals keep working when the street loses internet.
03
Backups and restores
Pharmacy or EHR data, scanned documents and email backed up locally and to the cloud; restore tested and documented quarterly.
04
Vendor coordination
We talk to PioneerRx, Rx30, Liberty, athenahealth or eClinicalWorks support in their language, so you do not sit on the call.
05
Access control and logging
Named logins, MFA on anything reachable from outside, and logs kept so you can answer who saw what.
06
Cameras and physical security
Camera systems on their own network with remote viewing that does not open a hole in the firewall.
Software we work with
The tools your office already runs.
We set the network up to each vendor’s published requirements and we talk to their support in their language, so you are never the go-between.

Case study
A register and e-prescribing that stay up when the street loses internet
An independent pharmacy in Plano ran the pharmacy system, two card terminals, cameras and customer Wi-Fi on one flat network behind a cable modem; every outage stopped adjudication. We installed a firewall with LTE failover, put point of sale and the pharmacy system on their own segments, isolated the cameras and the guest Wi-Fi, and documented it for the HIPAA risk assessment.

Questions pharmacies and clinics ask
Will you sign a Business Associate Agreement?
Yes, for managed support where we have access to systems holding patient data.
We lose the register when the internet drops. Fix?
An LTE failover router that takes over in seconds, plus a POS configured to use it. It is the most common first job we do for pharmacies.
