What your insurer is asking for, and how we get it in place.
Most dental cyber insurance policies now require four controls as a condition of coverage, plus several additional measures that affect your premium and claims eligibility. Bytewing implements and documents all of them.
Your patient records and practice data are backed up automatically and stored separately from your live systems. We test recovery regularly so you have proof it works, not just proof it ran.
MFA on your Microsoft 365 accounts and any remote access to your office network. A second step at login means a stolen password alone is not enough to get in.
No direct remote desktop connections exposed to the internet. All remote access goes through a VPN, which hides your systems from the automated scanning that attackers run constantly.
Phishing and security awareness training for everyone who accesses your network or patient data. We arrange the training and keep records of completion for your insurer.
Your workstations, servers, and software are kept up to date. We flag anything that is end-of-life and needs to be replaced before it becomes a liability.
Malicious attachments and phishing links are filtered before they reach your staff. Most are blocked automatically without anyone having to make a judgement call.
Antivirus and endpoint protection on every workstation and server in your practice. Threats are detected and blocked at the device level, not just at the network edge.
We audit what you have and document what is in place.
Some practices are asked by their insurer to provide evidence of specific controls, or to complete a security questionnaire. Others want an independent review before renewing their policy. Bytewing can conduct a security assessment of your practice, document what controls are in place, and provide a written summary you can share with your broker or insurer.
The assessment covers your backup configuration, access controls, network setup, remote access, software currency, and staff training status. It takes a few hours and does not require disrupting your practice day.

Dental cybersecurity questions.
Most cyber insurers require dental practices to have four things in place: verified offline backups, multi-factor authentication on email and remote access, VPN-protected remote connections, and annual security awareness training for staff. Bytewing can implement and document all of these for your practice.
Yes. Bytewing reviews your current security posture, identifies gaps, and puts the required controls in place. We provide documentation showing what is in place, which is often what insurers and assessors ask for.
Yes, and most cyber insurers now require it. Annual phishing awareness and security training is a condition of coverage for many policies. Bytewing can arrange training for your team and keep records of completion.
Bytewing uses a layered approach: verified backups stored separately from live systems, endpoint protection on every workstation and server, email filtering, MFA on all accounts, and network segmentation. These controls protect patient data and support PHIPA compliance.
