Matthew S. Kane

Information Security & Risk Advisor for U.S. Service Businesses

Helping owners understand risk, prepare for audits and insurance, and make confident security decisions - without technical disruption.

Small medical and dental practices are increasingly asked to answer IT, security, and cyber-insurance questions - often without clear guidance on what those questions actually mean or how much risk they imply. Many offices rely on outside IT vendors, but still aren’t confident what’s truly in place, what gaps exist, or what matters most right now.

My role is to help practice owners and managers step back and get clarity.

I review how your practice handles systems, access, backups, and basic safeguards; then translate that into plain language so you understand where you’re exposed, what actually matters today, and what can safely wait.

Most engagements begin with a one-time IT & security snapshot. This is a focused review that results in a short, written summary outlining:

  • areas of meaningful risk

  • items that insurers, auditors, or vendors tend to care about

  • practical next steps, prioritized by impact — not complexity

There are no contracts, no software sales, and no ongoing commitments.

This focus on medical and dental offices is personal. My father was a dentist, and I grew up around small practices. I understand the balance between patient care, staff, compliance, and limited time - and the need for clear answers without unnecessary disruption.
