Much like biological viruses, there are many ransomware threats circulating the web. Some are well known, some are new, and others not yet known or developed. With every occurrence, the sophistication of these viruses increase in a multitude of ways, including how they spread and how they encrypt data.

Ready for Primetime
Our services begin with our “Ready for Prime Time” phase. Sunset has defined four vital steps in successfully implementing new practices. We conduct a thorough assessment, streamline onboarding processes, implement remediation strategies, and facilitate secure data transfer setup. This crucial phase ensures a seamless transition to our co-managed Outsourced Environment.
Assessment
We comprehensively assess your network, physical hardware, and security measures. This service is essential for optimizing your existing infrastructure and offers a pre-purchase option. By conducting these assessments, during the pre-purchase phase, we equip you with valuable insights and knowledge that can be utilized during negotiations, ensuring informed decision-making at the negotiating table while providing a deeper understanding of the risk associated.
Onboarding
During this step, we focus on assuming control of the IT environment smoothly and efficiently. This involves transferring power from the previous IT provider, addressing any existing agreements, and assessing the environment for future remediation. Additionally, we prioritize establishing a solid working relationship with the key contacts at the site. However, we anticipate some immediate barriers that we must overcome, including:
- Previous IT Agreement: We will carefully navigate any existing agreements with the last IT provider to ensure adherence to contractual obligations.
- Obtaining Passwords and Relevant Information: We understand the importance of accessing essential passwords and pertinent information from the previous provider. Our team will work diligently to acquire and change these necessary credentials to ensure your environment is secure.
- Understanding the Environment: To effectively manage your IT infrastructure, we will conduct a more in-depth assessment to gain a comprehensive understanding of your existing environment. This assessment allows us to identify areas for improvement and develop a tailored remediation plan.
- Building Connections with Clinic Staff: Establishing strong communication and collaboration with the clinic staff is vital for a successful partnership. We will actively engage with your team to foster a positive working relationship, ensuring their needs and concerns are heard and addressed.
Our team is well-equipped to handle these challenges and facilitate a seamless transition. We prioritize open communication, proactive problem-solving, and efficient execution to overcome these barriers and ensure a successful partnership from the beginning.
Remediation
Our primary objective in this phase is to address outdated or non-compliant equipment within your IT infrastructure. By updating the environment, we aim to establish a solid foundation for improved uptime, enhanced security, compliance adherence, and an overall better user experience. Additionally, we can update the practice management software and initiate data feeding to the data warehouse, if required.
To guide us through this phase, we will start by understanding your environment’s current challenges and expectations. This includes assessing aspects such as phone systems, internet connectivity, response times, past issues with cybersecurity, and any other relevant factors. By gathering this information, we can identify areas that require attention and align our remediation efforts accordingly. Our approach includes the following:
- Defining the Environment: We will work closely with you to clearly define the current IT environment, considering its unique characteristics, challenges, and specific requirements.
- Explaining the Changes: We will provide a detailed explanation of the changes that will take place during the remediation process. This includes outlining the specific improvements, the estimated timing of implementation, and the anticipated impact on your operations.
To standardize our approach, we have a predefined set of items typically addressed when onboarding a new affiliate. However, during the assessment phase, we will conduct a comprehensive scan of your environment to determine the specific needs and customize our remediation plan accordingly.
The standard set of hardware that may be considered for remediation includes:
- Network
- Server
- Pan/Imaging Computer
- PC/Clients
- Other Devices
- Microsoft 365
By addressing these aspects, we aim to create a modern, secure, and efficient IT environment that supports your operations effectively. Our team will work closely with you to ensure minimal disruption and a smooth shift throughout the remediation process.
Data Transfer Setup
Not all clients will need this service, as it is the process of establishing the mechanisms and protocols for transferring data from a source system to a data warehouse. If you require these services, it involves configuring the necessary infrastructure, tools, and procedures to extract relevant data from your practice management software, or other data sources, and transfer it securely to your data warehouse.
The data transfer setup serves multiple purposes:
- Data Integration: It allows for unified integration of your practice’s data with your data warehouse, enabling comprehensive analysis, reporting, and insights. By consolidating data from multiple sources, you can gain a holistic view of your operations and make informed decisions.
- Data Centralization: The data warehouse is a centralized repository, housing structured and organized data from various systems. This consolidation simplifies data management and facilitates efficient access and retrieval of information.
- Data Accessibility: Once the data transfer setup is established, authorized users within your organization, including decision-makers and analysts, can access and query the data warehouse to generate reports, conduct data analysis, and extract meaningful insights.
- Data Security: Sunset Technologies ensures appropriate security measures are in place during the data transfer setup process. This includes employing encryption protocols, access controls, and other security measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the transferred data.
By setting up the data transfer process, Sunset Technologies enables you to leverage the capabilities of your data warehouse, unlocking the potential for advanced analytics, reporting, and data-driven decision-making. This integration ensures that your practice’s data is securely and efficiently transferred to the data warehouse, contributing to improved data management, performance monitoring, and strategic planning
Once Ready for Prime Time is completed, we will either hand the office off to your internal IT Team, a Co-Managed Environment, or to our Sunset Team, in a Fully Outsourced Environment.
