Sentoria is the managed IT & cybersecurity partner for dental and medical practices in Columbia and the greater DMV. We sign the BAA, run your annual HIPAA Security Risk Analysis, and keep Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental running — at a flat monthly rate.

Estimated loss · downtime
$8,400/hr
Per hour a small practice can't see patients. Industry average.
A small dental office that can't open charts, x-rays, or insurance verification loses revenue, trust, and the rest of the day's bookings. We keep the line of business running — patched, backed up, and monitored 24/7.
Estimated exposure · HIPAA
$50,000+
Average HHS settlement per violation. Single incident can carry multiple.
Every practice is required to perform a Security Risk Analysis and have a signed BAA with every vendor that touches PHI — including the IT provider. Sentoria signs a BAA and runs a HIPAA-aware operation.
02 What we do
Sentoria is a managed service provider (MSP): for one flat monthly fee, we become your practice's IT department — the security, the systems, the support, and the vendors. Here's what that actually covers.
We watch your systems around the clock and pick up the phone when something's wrong. Same-day response — no ticket black hole.
Enterprise-grade defense with real humans hunting threats 24/7 — the same stack big companies run (Microsoft Defender + Huntress MDR).
Every computer protected and centrally watched. Ransomware becomes a bad afternoon and a restore — not a lost week and a ransom.
Encrypted offsite backups, test-restored every 90 days. When hardware dies or someone clicks the wrong thing, we roll you back — fast.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — setup, migration, security, and day-to-day admin. Email, files, and calendars, all handled.
Annual Security Risk Analysis, a signed BAA, and audit-ready documentation — compliance built into the service, not bolted on.
Business-grade firewall, fast secure Wi-Fi, and a separate guest network — installed, monitored, and managed.
Every workstation and server updated on a documented schedule — known security holes get closed before someone finds them.
We spec and buy the right equipment at the right price — and we're the ones on hold with the printer company and your software vendors, not you.
We walk your current setup, flag the obvious risks and gaps, and tell you honestly whether you need us.
Onboarding hardens every computer, gets backups running and tested, signs the BAA, and takes the vendors off your plate.
One flat monthly bill, same-day support, audit-ready documentation — and someone always on watch.

04 Why Sentoria
You don't need an enterprise MSP — you need a partner who actually understands a five-person dental office and the rules it lives under.
01 / 04
Encrypted endpoints, tested backups, documented patching — every workstation hardened the way a HIPAA audit would want it hardened. Not bolted on after a breach.
02 / 04
As your IT provider, we're a HIPAA Business Associate — and we act like one. A signed BAA, documented controls, and an annual SRA are part of the deal.
03 / 04
We're in Howard County and serve the greater DMV. When something needs hands on a server, we drive — we don't dial a national help desk.
04 / 04
One per-user, per-month invoice. No nickel-and-dime tickets, no surprise after-hours rates. Budget the year on a single line item.
Book a 15-minute call. We'll walk your environment, flag the obvious risks, and tell you straight whether Sentoria is the right fit — or who is.
