How we help
Security tailored to hearing healthcare, from a one-time assessment to ongoing protection.
Risk Analysis & Mitigations
Our most requested service. We find the gaps in your security and compliance, then fix them: policies, backups, firewalls, and telehealth included.
Compliance
HIPAA and PCI DSS requirements, evaluated and implemented for audiology practices. Penalties reach $50,000 per violation; preparation costs far less.
HIPAA & Security Training
A live, one-hour annual refresher built on audiology-specific scenarios and taught by a cybersecurity professional who answers your questions. $125.
AI Customization for Clinics
Adopt AI transcription and clinical notes safely. We tailor the tools, prompts, and policies to your workflow and your compliance obligations.
New service
Focus on your patients, not your paperwork
AI transcription captures clinical notes while you maintain eye contact, perform procedures, and listen. We customize the tools for audiology workflows: tailored prompts, organizational policies, and a risk assessment, so the technology serves your practice without compromising patient privacy.
Security advice from someone who knows audiology
Josiah Dykstra, Ph.D., founded Designer Security after 15+ years helping audiologists with cybersecurity and a career protecting government networks. He holds CHPSE, CEH, and Security+ certifications, wrote two books on cybersecurity, and is married to an audiologist, so he hears about clinic technology at the dinner table.
