Airlock Detect • Built for dental

Patient Data Exposure.
Managed Continuously.

Airlock Detect continuously finds exposed patient data across your clinic, secures it through remediation rules agreed with your IT provider, and turns findings and completed actions into audit-ready evidence.

Unlike a one-off scan, Detect keeps working in the background so your data stays better protected and proof that action was taken is ready when it’s needed.

The hidden risk

Patient data is already outside your clinical systems — you just can’t see it

Patient data spreads quietly across workstations, shared drives, email, cloud apps and old user accounts — accumulating outside controlled systems.

Old user accounts

If exposed data is discovered during an audit, insurer review or incident, it can trigger urgent remediation, operational disruption, regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage — even without a cyber-attack.

Why this happens

Why exposure builds, stays hidden — and becomes expensive

  1. Fast-paced workflows lead to misplaced data

    In busy clinic environments, staff move quickly between patient care, administration and urgent tasks. Patient data can be downloaded, copied, emailed or saved into temporary locations outside approved systems because these steps are often the quickest way to keep work moving.

    Why this mattersExposure often begins through normal day-to-day work — not negligence or a cyber-attack.

  2. Exposure builds silently over time

    Once data leaves secure clinical systems, copies can persist across shared folders, inboxes, local devices and old user accounts. Over weeks, months and years, legacy data accumulates and quietly expands the clinic’s exposure footprint.

    Why this mattersExposure can accumulate for months or years before it is discovered.

  3. Clinics don’t know how exposed they are

    Most clinics have no reliable way to identify where patient data exists outside controlled systems, how much is exposed, or show what action has been taken when proof is required.

    Why this mattersYou cannot reduce exposure — or prove action was taken — if you cannot clearly see it.

  4. IT security does not automatically solve data exposure

    Your IT provider may secure systems, networks, devices and access controls, but that does not automatically mean exposed patient data is being identified across files, folders, email and cloud locations. Secure infrastructure and secure data placement are not the same thing.

    Why this mattersPatient-data exposure is a separate problem that still needs to be found, managed and evidenced.

  5. Late discovery is expensive

    When exposed patient data is discovered during an audit, insurer review or incident, the response becomes urgent. Clinics can be pushed into reactive remediation, evidence gathering and internal disruption at exactly the moment pressure is already highest.

    Why this mattersLate discovery can increase operational disruption, regulatory pressure and reputational risk.

You cannot reduce exposure — or prove it has been addressed — until you can see where it exists.

Start with Airlock Detect

Find it. Secure it. Prove it.

Detect continuously finds exposed patient data across workstations, shared drives, email and cloud apps, secures it through remediation rules agreed upfront with your IT provider and turns findings and completed actions into audit-ready evidence.

  1. 01

    Find exposed patient data

    Detect continuously discovers exposed patient data across workstations, shared drives, email, cloud apps and old user accounts.

  2. 02

    Assess risk

    Exposure is assessed by location, sensitivity, volume and potential regulatory, financial or operational impact.

  3. 03

    Secure exposure

    Exposed data is secured through remediation rules agreed upfront with your IT provider — for example, secure in place, relocate to an approved location or remove.

  4. 04

    Verify and provide evidence

    Completed actions are verified and turned into audit-ready evidence showing what was found, what changed and what action was taken.

Unlike a one-off scan, Detect keeps working in the background so your data stays better protected and proof that action was taken is ready when it’s needed.

Why Airlock Detect is different

Ongoing discovery, remediation & evidence. Not a one-off scan.

Unlike a one-off scan, Airlock Detect keeps working in the background — continuously finding and securing exposure as it appears, so patient data stays better protected and proof is ready on demand.

The result: less risk of exposed patient data sitting undiscovered between assessments — and greater confidence that exposure is being actively managed and compliance evidence is ready when you need it.

The benefits of Airlock Detect

Patient data exposure — actively managed throughout the year.

Airlock Detect goes beyond finding exposed patient data — helping secure exposure, verify action and keep compliance evidence ready when you need it.

Find exposure you can’t see

Discover patient data sitting outside approved systems across workstations, shared drives, email, cloud apps and old user accounts.

Secure exposure as it appears

Keep exposed patient data actively managed through remediation rules agreed upfront with your IT provider.

Know action was taken

Completed actions are verified and captured as current, audit-ready evidence — so proof is ready when you need it.

Stay better protected between assessments

Ongoing discovery and remediation reduce the risk of exposed patient data sitting undiscovered between assessments.

Less hidden exposure. Less evidence chasing. More confidence that patient-data exposure is being actively managed.

How Airlock works with your IT provider

Designed to work with your IT provider — not replace them

Your IT provider continues running your systems, infrastructure and security controls. Airlock works alongside them as the Compliance Evidence Layer™, with Detect providing managed patient-data exposure through rules agreed upfront with IT.

Why this mattersTechnology, security and compliance stay aligned — with patient-data exposure actively managed throughout the year, strengthening protection while reducing the evidence-gathering burden on clinic staff and IT.

Dental groups and DSOs can use the same managed model across multiple locations, creating a more consistent approach to patient-data exposure discovery, remediation and evidence across the group.

The Airlock Model

A new model for healthcare compliance

Airlock’s Compliance Evidence Layer™ is designed to support continuous compliance across the systems, safeguards and controls your clinic relies on.

Instead of replacing the tools and safeguards already operating across the clinic, Airlock connects their evidence into one managed lifecycle — keeping risk visible, remediation moving, outcomes verified and evidence current to support continuous compliance as the clinic changes.

Scope → Capture → Identify → Remediate → Verify → Evidence

ComplianceEvidence Layer™
  1. 1Scope
  2. 2Capture
  3. 3Identify
  4. 4Remediate
  5. 5Verify
  6. 6Evidence

Airlock is designed to replace the year-end evidence scramble with an ongoing managed process, so clinic teams spend less time rebuilding proof and more time focused on patient care and practice growth.

Why continuous compliance matters

Better patient care, practice growth and long-term value — not just audit readiness

By keeping risk visible, remediation moving, outcomes verified and evidence current between formal reviews, continuous compliance reduces the burden and disruption of proving compliance — creating more capacity for the work that improves patient care, grows the practice and strengthens its long-term value.

01

Reduce compliance admin

Reduce time spent collecting evidence, updating documents, chasing screenshots and preparing audit packs.

02

More capacity for patient care and growth

Free up clinic and management capacity that can be redirected toward patients, clinicians and practice development.

03

Clearer visibility over risk and remediation

Give clinic managers, IT providers and DSO leaders a clearer view of risk, completed actions and evidence status across one clinic or multiple locations.

04

Stronger insurer and buyer confidence

Use clearer, current evidence to support renewal discussions, governance reviews, Security Risk Assessments and acquisition diligence.

As the evidence record builds, Airlock does more than reduce admin. It gives clinics a clearer, more defensible view of compliance maturity — supporting stronger governance and a more credible business story for insurers, DSOs and future buyers.

The Airlock platform — in development

One evidence layer across the safeguards your clinic relies on

Airlock is being built as a single Compliance Evidence Layer across the administrative, technical and physical safeguards your clinic relies on.

Starting with Detect, the same managed model is designed to extend across wider clinic safeguards — bringing risk, remediation and compliance evidence into one place so the clinic has a clearer, more current picture throughout the year.

Detect proves the model first. Wider safeguard coverage is the direction of travel, not something that needs to be built before Detect succeeds.
