Working in healthcare for more than 20 years, Amy’s passion for risk management began after her own identity was compromised as a result of an improperly educated staff losing her X-rays. That passion has turned into a commitment to provide an easy to understand approach to complex regulations. Amy’s relatable stories of real-life data breaches make an otherwise boring and complicated topic easy to ingest.

As president of ACS Technologies, LLC, Amy oversees two divisions within the company. The largest, and her favorite, is the Training Division. Amy educates and consults dental practices specializing in HIPAA, Information Technology Security, Technology Disaster Preparedness, and Data Breach Mitigation. She also implements comprehensive compliance programs into practices, instilling confidence in organizations necessary for compliance. Amy is highly sought after to consult on data breach mitigations; she aids in minimizing the damage so practices can survive financially intact. Additionally, she consults for IT Providers nationally to ensure they understand HIPAA as it applies to themselves, as well as their dental clients. This enables IT Providers to continue driving the industry forward in a secure manner. The second department is the IT Security Services Division. Amy successfully manages the IT company catering to dental practices that desire to be safe, secure, proactive, and compliant with HIPAA.

Amy stays informed of evolving regulations and the ever-changing education landscape. In addition to ASCA and ADMC, she maintains memberships with Health Care Compliance Association, FBI Infragard, Cyber Health Working Group, HHS 405d, ASCII, Sonoma County Professional Women, and Sonoma County Professional Women. She is licensed by the Dental Board of California and the Academy of General Dentistry.
