The Problem

Healthcare SMBs Are the Preferred Target.
Attackers Know It.

You're not too small to be targeted — you're small enough to be vulnerable. HIPAA doesn't scale its penalties by practice size, and OCR doesn't accept "we didn't know" as a defense.

01

The Average HIPAA Fine Is Devastating

A single data breach costs healthcare SMBs an average of $10.9M in combined fines, remediation, and reputational damage. Most small practices never fully recover.

02

Linux Is Your Largest Attack Surface

Your EHR systems, billing servers, and clinical workstations run on Linux. Misconfigured systems, unpatched packages, and weak access controls are open doors for ransomware and regulators alike.

03

Compliance Is Not a Checkbox

Signing a BAA doesn't make you compliant. Without documented technical safeguards — audit logging, encryption at rest, hardened configurations — you fail every OCR investigation.

04

Your Current IT Provider Is Not Enough

General IT support keeps the lights on. It doesn't mean running OpenSCAP scans, applying DISA STIGs, or maintaining audit-ready compliance documentation. That gap is your liability.

Services

Everything Your Practice Needs.
Nothing You Don't.

Every engagement is scoped to your environment. We don't sell bloated packages — we deliver exactly what closes your compliance gaps.

01

HIPAA Gap Assessment

A full review of your Linux environment against HIPAA technical safeguard requirements. Delivered as a prioritized, written findings report with remediation roadmap.

02

CIS / STIG Audits

We benchmark your systems against CIS Controls and DISA STIGs, identify every deviation, and document your compliance posture with evidence-grade reporting.

03

Linux Hardening & Remediation

We close every gap — tightening configurations, enforcing least privilege, enabling audit logging, and hardening SSH, firewall rules, and file permissions across your infrastructure.

04

Ansible & OpenSCAP Automation

We build automated compliance pipelines using Ansible playbooks and OpenSCAP so your security posture is enforced consistently — not reviewed manually once a year.

06

BAA Review & Policy Support

We help you document technical safeguards, review Business Associate Agreements, and build the policy stack that holds up under OCR scrutiny.

How It Works

From First Contact to
Fully Compliant. Simply.

We've built a process that gets you from uncertainty to documented compliance without disrupting your operations.

01

Free Gap Assessment

We review your Linux environment and HIPAA safeguards. You receive a written findings report at no cost — no strings attached.

02

Scoped Engagement

We design a remediation plan specific to your findings — no padded scope, no generic templates. Only what your practice actually needs.

03

Hardening & Remediation

We execute the plan — hardening systems, deploying automation, and producing documentation you can hand to any auditor.

04

Ongoing Compliance

Monthly monitoring, scheduled scans, and continuous support keep you audit-ready 365 days a year — not just when renewal comes up.

Who We Serve

Built for the Practices
That Get Overlooked.

Enterprise security firms ignore you. Big IT providers don't understand HIPAA deeply enough. SentriNix was built specifically for healthcare SMBs that handle PHI and need real compliance — not a sales pitch.

About SentriNix

Security Expertise Built From the Ground Up.

SentriNix was founded by a U.S. veteran with hands-on experience in Linux systems administration and healthcare security. We built this company specifically because healthcare SMBs — dental offices, home health agencies, medical billing companies — were being underserved by generalist IT providers who didn't understand HIPAA deeply enough to protect them.

We don't sell fear. We sell documented, verifiable compliance that holds up under audit. Every engagement is delivered with the precision and accountability you'd expect from someone who takes security personally.
