Industries We Serve
HIPAA-compliant IT for medical practices
that can’t afford a breach
We sign the BAA. We run the risk assessment. We operate the environment. You see patients.
HIPAA is more than a sticker on your website
The HHS Office for Civil Rights doesn’t ask if you meant well. They ask whether you have a documented risk analysis, access controls, encrypted backups, audit logs, a breach response plan, and BAAs with every vendor that touches PHI.
Gravity Networks is the managed IT provider medical practices in Utah and Tennessee bring in to actually operate that environment — not just sell it to them.
Serving businesses across Utah and Tennessee from our offices in Salt Lake City and Knoxville.
What we sign, what we do
- BAAs with every client that handles PHI
- Annual HIPAA Security Risk Assessments
- Incident response you can actually reach
HOW GRAVITY KEEPS YOUR PRACTICE HIPAA-COMPLIANT
The controls OCR asks about — operated, documented, and kept current.
HIPAA Security Risk Assessment
We perform a formal risk analysis across administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. You get a documented report that holds up in an audit.
Business Associate Agreements
We sign a BAA with every healthcare client. We also help you inventory and paper the vendors downstream that need BAAs too.
Encryption, access control, and MFA
PHI is encrypted at rest and in transit. Every clinician account has MFA. Access is logged and reviewed quarterly.
Immutable backups & tested restore
Ransomware-resistant backups of every EHR and shared drive, with restore tests on a regular cadence — so a bad day doesn’t become a reportable incident.
Audit logging and breach detection
Centralized logs, anomaly alerts, and documented incident response. If something triggers, we know within minutes, not days.
EHR and medical device support
Integrations and device management for common EHRs (Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono) and imaging/lab devices on your network.
HIPAA-GRADE IT, SMALL-PRACTICE PRICING
You shouldn’t need a hospital budget to be compliant.
Engineers pick up tickets fast — not ‘soon,’ not ‘end of day.’ No call-center tree, no auto-reply purgatory.
One predictable invoice. No surprise overages, no nickel-and-diming.
We earn your business every month. Cancel anytime — we don’t lock you in.
Salt Lake City and Knoxville teams — not offshore, not a call-center script.

REQUEST A READINESS SNAPSHOTHIPAA QUESTIONS FROM PRACTICE OWNERS
Straightforward answers to what medical-practice owners keep asking us.
Does my IT provider need to sign a BAA?
Yes. Any vendor that handles, stores, or transmits ePHI on your behalf is a Business Associate and must sign a BAA. This includes your managed IT provider, cloud storage vendors, email providers, and backup services. If they won't sign one, they shouldn't have access to your systems.
What are the technical safeguards HIPAA requires?
HIPAA's Security Rule requires access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security for all electronic protected health information. In practice this means MFA, role-based access, encryption, activity logging, and secure file transfer — all of which Gravity Networks implements and maintains.
What happens if my practice has a HIPAA breach?
You have 60 days to notify affected individuals, and in most cases you must notify HHS and potentially local media. OCR will investigate, and fines range from $100 to $50,000 per violation depending on negligence. Having documented IT controls and an incident response plan significantly reduces your liability.
Do I need a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment?
Yes — it's required, not optional. The HIPAA Security Rule mandates a formal risk assessment to identify threats to ePHI. Most OCR audits start by asking for it. Gravity Networks helps you conduct and document the IT portions of your risk assessment.
Can a small medical practice afford HIPAA-compliant IT?
Yes. Gravity Networks works with practices of all sizes across Utah and Tennessee. The cost of proper HIPAA IT is a fraction of the cost of a breach — the average healthcare data breach costs $10.9M. We build right-sized solutions that fit your budget without cutting corners on the controls that matter.
