“Every practice I've worked in has a compliance binder. None of them could survive an audit.”

Angie Perrin spent over a decade as a registered dental hygienist and became a Certified HIPAA Consultant — working inside treatment rooms, managing patient records, and watching practice after practice struggle with compliance obligations they barely understood. The gap between what HIPAA required and what practices actually did was not a minor oversight. It was systemic. Most believed a policy binder on the shelf meant they were protected. They were wrong — and increasingly, they were targets.

Joseph Perrin had spent years building secure infrastructure for clinical systems and government healthcare environments — zero-trust architecture, encrypted data handling, real-time threat detection. When Angie described what healthcare practices were doing to “protect” patient data, the answer was almost always: nothing that would survive first contact with an actual attacker. The same threat actors penetrating hospital systems were now pivoting to smaller, undefended practices — and since 2021, attacks on independent providers have risen 6×.²

Alexander Perrin saw the gap for what it was. Twenty years in enterprise technology made the pattern clear: the compliance vendor ecosystem had built strong documentation and training tools, but the security layer — the monitoring, detection, and active defense work — was still missing for independent practices.&sup4; The vendors were solving the audit problem. No one was solving the breach problem.

Patient Protect was the response: a platform that adds operational security on top of the compliance foundation. Real-time monitoring, automated risk assessments, encrypted communication, staff training, and breach simulation — built to work alongside your existing compliance partner or as your standalone solution, starting at $39/month. No contracts.
