Amy Wood, HCISPP

CEO
Copper Penny Consulting
Santa Rosa, California, United States

Amy Wood didn't set out to become the dental industry's HIPAA whisperer, but somebody had to make compliance make sense, and it turns out that somebody has excellent comedic timing.
As CEO of Copper Penny Consulting, Amy is a nationally recognized expert in HIPAA compliance, cybersecurity, and the wild new frontier of AI risk in dentistry. She translates dense regulatory language into practical strategies dental teams can actually use with no legalese and no glazed over eyes.
Amy doesn't lecture, she performs. Part storyteller, part mythbuster, part slightly too honest friend, she blends humor with hard truths to help teams protect patient data, survive an audit, and adopt new tech without regretting it later. She's just as comfortable dissecting a ransomware attack as she is explaining why that "smart" voice assistant in the treatment room might be listening a little too closely.
A sought after speaker at dental conferences, study clubs, and CE events internationally, Amy has built a library of training programs and toolkits with one mission: make compliance practical, not painful. She's the speaker who makes HIPAA training the session nobody skips.
