Protect patient trust without turning your practice into an IT department.
Your patients trust you with information they would not share lightly. Your practice depends on booking systems, email, patient records, staff access, and outside providers working together reliably.
PrivaCore helps clinics, wellness practices, dental offices, therapists, and other health-adjacent businesses understand how patient information and everyday systems are handled, where responsibility sits, and which practical safeguards should come first. This is operational privacy and cybersecurity support, not legal advice or a promise of regulatory compliance.

Familiar moments in a clinic or practice
An Ontario case study, not a prediction about every practice
In a case study published July 2024, Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner described a medical imaging clinic that detected a ransomware attack in December 2022. A dormant account with broad administrative access was the likely entry point. The attacker deleted the clinic's backups, and up to 550,000 patient records and 1.6 million case files were potentially compromised. The clinic closed temporarily during recovery.
What we review in a health or wellness practice

The same core audit methodology applies across every industry — this checklist is how the review adapts to the way a practice actually runs. Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner publishes a privacy-management handbook for sole practitioners, small group practices, and small health-care organizations; provincial privacy language is only used where it has been reviewed for the relevant jurisdiction.
The same three service levels, sized to your practice.
