Navigating the IT Landscape: Our Audit Reveals Disturbing Trends in Vancouver's Dental IT Services
Uncover the Truth Behind Your IT Setup: Are You Falling Prey to Common Pitfalls?
Dental clinics are an essential pillar of our healthcare system. Yet, they are often overlooked when it comes to IT services and security. Recent audits conducted by our team at Benson Hunt in Vancouver have revealed significant risks and malpractices prevalent in the local IT service industry. As a dental clinic owner, understanding these trends is vital to safeguard your operations and patient data.
Alarmingly High Risks
Our comprehensive audits unveiled disconcerting findings: many service providers, including some self-proclaimed industry leaders in Vancouver, are failing to build server infrastructures according to best practices. Instead of leveraging modern virtualization techniques to enhance performance, scalability, and disaster recovery, these providers are setting up monolithic, outdated systems that not only limit your clinic's capabilities but also increase the risk of catastrophic failures.
Unrecoverable Backups - A Recipe for Disaster
Data is the lifeblood of your dental practice. Therefore, it is deeply concerning to discover that many IT service providers are offering backup solutions that are, quite frankly, unrecoverable. This means in the event of a system failure or ransomware attack, your patient records, billing information, and appointment schedules could be lost permanently, resulting in significant operational and financial impacts. When was the last time you tested your backup from a disastrous situation?
The Disturbing Deception
The most shocking finding from our audits was the practice of selling desktop-class computers as servers. This deceptive tactic exploits the common misconception among dental clinic owners who may not understand the crucial differences between a server and a desktop computer. This results in sub-optimal performance, frequent downtime, and increased vulnerability to security threats. At Benson Hunt, we’re happy to reveal to you the truths of your IT system.
