Healthcare & HIPAA
Encryption, role-based access, audit logging and tested backups, so an outage or a breach gets contained instead of escalated.
Johnson City, TN
Johnson City runs on healthcare, higher education and professional services — the Ballad Health ecosystem, ETSU, and the clinics, practices and firms around them. Blue Ridge manages and protects the systems they depend on, with controls mapped to the rules they answer to.

IT support in Johnson City
In Johnson City, an EHR outage stops a clinic day and a single gap in HIPAA safeguards becomes a reportable breach. Patient portals, billing systems and staff email all have to stay up and stay secure.
Blue Ridge looks after those environments day to day — monitored, patched, backed up and documented — with the evidence ready before anyone asks for it.
Who we work with
Encryption, role-based access, audit logging and tested backups, so an outage or a breach gets contained instead of escalated.
Programs and offices around ETSU handling student records get segmented networks and controlled access.
Law firms and advisors hold privileged files and move money. Email is hardened, multi-factor sign-in enforced, and suspicious payment requests caught.
Wireless that holds up in medical and multi-storey buildings, with guest access kept away from anything touching patient data.
Local knowledge
The density of healthcare in Johnson City — Ballad Health’s facilities and the specialist practices, imaging centres and billing offices around them — means HIPAA obligations sit on nearly every network in town, from State of Franklin Road to downtown.
The 2024 Change Healthcare incident froze payments for practices nationwide and showed how one vendor’s failure ripples through every provider downstream. Segmentation, monitoring and tested recovery keep one outage from becoming a clinic-wide stoppage.

From a client
We needed a web app for a non-profit… we chose Kobe because he’s quick, clever, and intuitive. The design of the app is beautiful and perfectly matches the website. Its functionality is flawless. I am so utterly happy to have met Kobe through this project and will recommend him for all web apps.
