HIPAA-Compliant Network Infrastructure

Secure Network Architecture for Healthcare

Protect patient data with VLAN segmentation, PHI isolation, and guest network separation. Our HIPAA-compliant network infrastructure is designed specifically for medical practices in Edison, Princeton, and throughout New Jersey.

VLAN Segmentation PHI Isolation Complete Documentation

Is Your Network Putting Patient Data at Risk?

Standard business networks don't meet HIPAA security requirements. Our healthcare cybersecurity and compliance services ensure your network meets all regulatory standards.

Network Security Risks

  • Guest WiFi accessing same network as patient records
  • No separation between PHI and general office traffic
  • Unencrypted data transmission over network
  • No audit logs for network access
  • Missing documentation for HIPAA audits

Our HIPAA Solution

  • Complete VLAN segmentation with strict isolation
  • Dedicated PHI network separated from all other traffic
  • Encrypted connections with access controls
  • Comprehensive logging and monitoring
  • Complete network diagram and compliance docs

HIPAA-Compliant Network Architecture

Properly segmented networks that protect PHI and meet compliance requirements. Learn more about our VLAN segmentation services.

PHI/Clinical VLAN

Dedicated network for EHR systems, medical devices, and any systems handling protected health information.

Our Network Implementation Process

Professional, documented, and compliant

1

Network Assessment

We analyze your current network infrastructure, identify security gaps, and create a custom VLAN design tailored to your practice's specific needs and HIPAA requirements.

2

Design & Planning

Create detailed network architecture with VLAN segmentation plan, firewall rules, access policies, and implementation timeline scheduled after business hours.

3

Implementation

Configure switches, firewalls, and access points with proper VLAN assignments. Migrate devices to appropriate networks with minimal disruption to practice operations.

4

Documentation & Training

Provide complete network documentation, staff training on security policies, and ongoing monitoring to ensure continued compliance and security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HIPAA-compliant networking

Why does my medical practice need VLAN segmentation?

HIPAA requires technical safeguards to protect PHI, including network segmentation. VLANs isolate patient data from other network traffic, preventing unauthorized access and containing potential security breaches.

Will network segmentation affect my practice operations?

No. Proper VLAN design actually improves network performance by reducing broadcast traffic and prioritizing critical systems. We implement changes after hours to minimize disruption.

What equipment is needed for VLAN segmentation?

Managed switches that support VLANs and a firewall capable of inter-VLAN routing with access control lists. We can work with your existing equipment if compatible or recommend upgrades if needed.

Do you provide network documentation for audits?

Yes! We provide comprehensive documentation including network diagrams, VLAN port maps, firewall policies, and security procedures that satisfy HIPAA audit requirements.

Can guest WiFi be safely provided without risking PHI?

Absolutely. A properly configured guest VLAN provides patient WiFi access while completely isolating it from your internal networks and PHI. It includes content filtering and bandwidth controls.

What ongoing support do you provide after implementation?

We provide 24/7 monitoring, regular security updates, assistance with adding new devices to appropriate VLANs, and annual network reviews to ensure continued compliance.
