As of 2022, over 95% of U.S. hospitals rely on Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems for storing and managing patient data.
The global EHR market is expected to reach $47 billion by 2027, reflecting the fast-growing volume of electronic health data.
The average healthcare data storage solution costs $10.93 million, making reliable and secure systems a critical investment.
Outdated software and hardware in medical environments are 25% more vulnerable to cyberattacks due to delayed patching and limited upgrade paths.
In 2023, over 20% of healthcare data breaches involved IoT devices. Alarmingly, 80% of these devices cannot be patched, leaving them exposed to ongoing cyber threats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if patient data is lost?
Losing patient data can disrupt care, delay treatments, and violate HIPAA regulations exposing your practice to fines, audits, and loss of patient trust.
With Central Data Storage, your backups are continuously verified and stored in our U.S.-based private cloud, ensuring clean, recoverable data that keeps your practice running and compliant.
How frequently should healthcare practices back up their data?
For dental and medical offices using systems like Open Dental, daily or continuous backups are essential. CDS automates this process by encrypting and verifying every backup so you never have to wonder if yesterday’s charts or x-rays are protected.
Why is data interoperability important in healthcare?
Practices rely on multiple systems from EHR and billing software to imaging and scheduling tools. CDS ensures these systems stay connected securely, allowing for HIPAA-compliant data flow without third-party exposure. Your data stays clean, contained, and interoperable inside the CDS environment.
How does encryption protect educational data during backup and recovery?
Encryption keeps sensitive patient information protected at every stage. CDS encrypts your data in transit and at rest, ensuring PHI is unreadable to anyone without authorization even during recovery. It’s part of our zero-trust architecture and clean recovery verification process.
What’s the difference between on-site and off-site backups?
On-site backups (local drives or servers) are fast, but vulnerable to fire, theft, or ransomware. Off-site backups in CDS’s private, U.S.-based cloud add a layer of security and compliance ensuring your backups remain isolated, encrypted, and independently verifiable.
What does hybrid backup mean for a dental or medical office?
Hybrid backup combines the speed of local recovery with the safety of the cloud. CDS hybrid deployment gives your practice instant local restores and cloud-verified protection, so you get the best of both worlds fast, compliant, and always recoverable.
How can a private practice recover from a ransomware attack?
The key is restoring clean, uncompromised data. CDS scans every backup for ransomware or hidden threats before it’s restored, ensuring you don’t reinfect your systems. Our clean recovery assurance and 24/7 support help your practice recover quickly, protect patient trust, and meet HIPAA requirements.
