Collective editorial voice · Editorial Team
Reviewed by the founders · Published under editorial standards
“Every post under this byline is reviewed by a CTO, a CSO, and a CEO before it publishes. No post reflects one person's view — and none is filler.”
The Patient Protect Editorial Team publishes original guidance, breach coverage, research, and product commentary under a single collective byline. Every post carrying this attribution has passed through review by the company's Chief Technology Officer, Chief Security Officer, and Chief Executive Officer — or by researchers working on the Secure Care Research Institute program.
Posts under this byline draw on three deep sources of expertise. Joseph A. Perrin (CTO) brings federal-grade infrastructure security experience, having designed the zero-trust architecture that protects the Patient Protect platform. Angie Perrin, RDH (CSO) brings more than a decade of direct clinical practice and Certified HIPAA Consultant credentialing. Alexander Perrin (CEO) brings twenty years of enterprise SaaS and platform architecture, and directs the company's research program through the Secure Care Research Institute.
The editorial program covers HIPAA compliance operations, healthcare cybersecurity, breach analysis, OCR enforcement, business associate risk, and the operational reality of independent healthcare practices. Every published claim is either sourced from primary regulation, publicly available breach intelligence, verified vendor documentation, or Patient Protect's own research. Speculation, unattributed statistics, and industry generalities do not appear under this byline.
Coverage runs across three permanent surfaces: the Patient Protect blog for long-form operational guidance and vendor analysis, HIPAA Pulse for daily healthcare breach and enforcement intelligence, and the Secure Care Research Institute for peer-facing research. Cross-referencing between the three is intentional — the blog explains what to do, HIPAA Pulse explains what just happened, and SCRI explains the underlying economics.
Who reviews the work
