Managed IT & security · Brooklyn, NY
Sorvana is a small Brooklyn crew that runs HIPAA-minded security checkups, hardens your computers and network, and picks up when the front desk calls. One flat fee, written down before we touch anything.
What it costs
Most clinics have only ever bought IT by the hour. Here’s the difference when somebody says the price first.
$750
flat, for the security risk assessment.
Prices are per engagement. Bigger clinics get a quote in writing, same deal.
How we work
We’ve stood behind enough front desks to know the real security problems: the sticky note, the shared login, the router nobody’s opened since 2016.
01 · The assessment
We look at every workstation, the router in the supply closet, who still has the old receptionist’s login, and where your backups really go. You get a plain-English report and a fix list ranked by what to do first.
Security risk assessment · $750 flat
02 · The overhaul
Full-disk encryption, updates that never interrupt a cleaning, MFA on email, and an offsite backup we test by restoring a real file in front of you. Usually half a day on site for a small clinic.
Workstation & backup overhaul · $1,200 flat
03 · The after
Remote support covers the printer that won’t print, the imaging PC that froze at 9:02, and the new hire who needs a login by Thursday. We work around your chairs, not through them: changes happen at lunch or after Friday’s 3pm close.
Remote support · $340/month, up to 10 devices
The price list
Every price is per engagement and quoted in writing after a quick call. Not sure what you need? Text us a photo of your server closet. We’ve seen worse. Probably.
Card, ACH or check. Invoiced after the work, never before.
Yes. We scope it after a short call and a look at your setup, write the number down, and that’s the number. If we find something big mid-job, we stop and ask you first.
No IT vendor can hand you a compliance badge, so be wary of anyone who does. The assessment gives you the security risk analysis HIPAA expects you to have, plus the technical fixes. Policies and staff training stay yours; we help with the tech side.
Small is the whole point. Our clients have one front desk, a handful of workstations and nobody whose job title says “IT.”
For the assessment and the overhaul, we visit your Brooklyn office. For support, it’s remote almost every time, and faster for it.
How a first engagement runs
Two weeks, front desk to firewall. Here’s the rough calendar.
We ask five plain questions: how many computers, what software, who holds the keys. No jargon on our end.
We visit, poke around, and photograph the closet. Don’t tidy up first. We’ve seen it all.
Plain English, fixes ranked, and one fixed price for the work. You decide what happens next.
Backups tested, old logins gone, and a one-page “who to call” taped by the front desk.
Free, one page
The annual risk analysis shouldn’t be a December panic. We keep a four-season checklist for clinics, and we’ll email you a copy.
Brooklyn clinics, this one’s for you
A $750 assessment or a $1,200 overhaul, flat, in writing. Call, text, or send the form and we’ll reply the same business day.
