Flat-rate HIPAA security services built for small dental practices — risk assessments, security plans, and penetration testing. No IT jargon. No surprises. Just compliance you can count on.
Why PentestDC, LLC
Most IT security firms serve everyone. We focus on one thing: keeping dental practices HIPAA-compliant and cyber-resilient in the DC metro area.
Our team brings hands-on experience with DC government IT systems. We apply NIST 800-series standards — the same framework federal agencies use — to protect your practice.
We write every report for practice owners, not IT staff. You will always know exactly where you stand, what is at risk, and what to do next — without needing a translator.
No hourly billing surprises. Every engagement is scoped and priced upfront so you can budget with confidence. Small practice pricing designed for small practice budgets.
We know Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental. We understand how dental billing, imaging systems, and patient communication tools create HIPAA exposure — and how to close it.
Our CEH-certified testers think like attackers. We don't just scan for known vulnerabilities — we actively attempt to breach your systems the way a real threat actor would.
HIPAA compliance isn't a one-time project. We build lasting relationships with our clients, providing ongoing support, annual updates, and a direct line when questions arise.
The Reality for Dental Practices
Dental offices store two types of highly valuable data: protected health information and payment data. Combined, that makes you a premium target — and your lean IT setup makes you easier to breach than a hospital.
Your EHR vendor being "HIPAA compliant" does not make your practice compliant. HIPAA requires you to conduct your own risk assessment, train your staff, and document your policies — regardless of what software you use.
What We Do
Everything a small dental practice needs to be secure, compliant, and audit-ready — delivered in plain English by certified security professionals.
SERVICE 01
Think of a vulnerability assessment as a security check-up for your practice. We systematically scan every device, system, and access point to find the weak spots before a hacker does — then give you a plain-English report showing exactly what to fix and in what order.
Unlike a penetration test, we're not trying to break in — we're cataloguing every door and window that could be opened. It's the fastest way to get a complete picture of your security posture.
SERVICE 02
A penetration test goes further than a vulnerability assessment — we actively attempt to break into your systems the same way a real attacker would. Our CEH-certified testers use manual techniques to find vulnerabilities that automated tools miss.
The HHS proposed HIPAA Security Rule update will require penetration testing at least once per year. Getting ahead of this now means you'll be ready when it becomes mandatory — and you'll have a signed attestation letter for your records.
SERVICE 03
HIPAA requires every dental practice to have a written security plan documenting how you protect patient data. Most practices don't have one — and that's the first thing auditors look for. We build yours from scratch: a complete library of policies, procedures, and compliance documentation.
Our security plans are built on NIST SP 800-66r2 and 45 CFR Part 164, and are written so your practice can actually implement them — not just file them in a drawer.
Transparent Pricing
Every engagement is scoped and priced upfront. You know exactly what you're getting before you sign anything.

About Us
PentestDC, LLC was built specifically to serve small healthcare providers in the DC metro area who deserve the same level of security expertise as the federal agencies we've spent years protecting.
Our Story
PentestDC, LLC grew out of years of delivering IT consulting and infrastructure to DC government agencies — environments where security isn't optional and compliance isn't a checkbox. We know what it looks like when security is done right, because we've built it for organizations that can't afford to get it wrong.
When we looked at the small dental practice market, we saw a gap: practices full of sensitive patient data, subject to strict federal regulations, but without access to the kind of credentialed, experienced security expertise that larger healthcare organizations take for granted.
We built PentestDC, LLC to close that gap. Every service we offer is designed specifically for small dental practices — flat-rate, plain-English, and grounded in the same NIST-based frameworks we've applied to federal systems for years.
We're CISSP and CEH certified, we know HIPAA deeply, and we're based in the DC metro area serving practices across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Our Values
Every report, every recommendation, every conversation is written for practice owners — not IT professionals. If you can't act on it, it's not useful to you.
Cybersecurity has a bad habit of using scare tactics to close deals. We'll tell you exactly where your risks are — and we'll be honest when something isn't urgent.
You'll know the price before we start. No surprise invoices, no hourly billing creep. We scope every engagement and stick to it.
HIPAA compliance is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time project. We're building a practice of clients who trust us year after year — not a transaction pipeline.
We don't try to serve everyone. Our frameworks, pricing, and deliverables are built around the reality of a 2–5 dentist practice. That specificity is what makes us effective.
Our Roadmap
PentestDC, LLC is building a long-term healthcare security practice — starting with dental, expanding across the DMV.
