Cyber security for Healthcare
Protect patient data, defend against ransomware, and ensure CQC & ISO 27001 compliance.
From 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to CREST-certified pentesting of EPR and IoMT systems.
Penetration testing for Healthcare systems
Our CREST-accredited testers simulate real-world attacks to find vulnerabilities in your critical systems. We specialise in testing clinical applications like EPR and PACS systems, external HSCN connections, and vulnerable Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices. Our reports provide clear, actionable remediation steps to protect patient data and meet compliance.
24/7 MDR & EDR to protect patient Data for Healthcare
Healthcare is a top target for ransomware. Our 24/7/365 Security Operations Centre (SOC) provides Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and EDR to hunt for threats. We monitor your servers, endpoints, and medical devices in real-time to detect and stop attacks before they can encrypt patient data and cause critical downtime, ensuring GDPR and CQC compliance.
Managed ISMS Platforms & ISO 27001 for Healthcare
Go beyond a one-time audit. We provide a Managed ISMS (Information Security Management System) service, acting as your virtual CISO. We continuously manage your risk register, conduct internal audits, and run your security committee, ensuring your ISO 27001 framework is a living process. This provides constant assurance and auditable evidence for the CQC and NHS Digital.
Cyber Faqs for Healthcare
-
Healthcare providers store highly sensitive patient data and rely on critical systems like EPR (Electronic Patient Records) and PACS (medical imaging). A pentest is essential to identify vulnerabilities in these systems and in connected IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) devices before attackers can exploit them. It is a key requirement for HSCN and ISO 27001 compliance.
-
MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is a 24/7 service that hunts for threats. Unlike antivirus, which is reactive, our SOC team spots the behaviours of a ransomware attack (e.g., a device trying to encrypt files). We can then instantly isolate that device from the network, stopping the attack from spreading and protecting your patient data.
-
An ISMS (Information Security Management System) is the framework for ISO 27001. A Managed ISMS means we run this for you as an ongoing service. For a CQC audit, this provides a complete, up-to-date record of risk assessments, security controls, and incident response plans, proving that you are actively managing and protecting patient data.
-
IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) refers to all connected medical devices, like infusion pumps, patient monitors, and scanners. These devices are often old, cannot be patched, and are a major security risk. Our MDR and network segmentation services can monitor these devices for threats and isolate them, preventing them from being used as an entry point to your network.
-
Yes. All our healthcare services are designed to meet or exceed the standards set by NHS Digital and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT). Our ISO 27001 and pentesting services provide the core evidence you need to complete your DSPT assessment successfully.
