The Threat
Landscape

⚠️

PMS Downtime — Practice Stops

If Cornerstone, AVImark, ezyVet, or Impromed is down, your practice stops. Scheduling, treatment history, billing — all unavailable. Every hour of downtime costs in lost appointments and staff time.

OPERATIONAL CRITICAL
⚠️

Client PII Breach

Ohio's breach notification law, PCI-DSS, and the FTC Safeguards Rule all protect the client PII in your PMS — name, address, payment card data, and insurance information.

LEGAL OBLIGATION
⚠️

High Staff Turnover Risk

Veterinary technicians and receptionists change frequently. Orphaned credentials and access governance gaps create persistent insider threat and unauthorized access risk.

PERSISTENT RISK
⚠️

DSO Acquisition Due Diligence

If your practice is considering sale to a DSO, undocumented security gaps surface in due diligence and affect valuation and deal timeline.
