Healthcare cybersecurity where failure is not an option.
Hospitals and health systems are among the most targeted organisations in Europe for ransomware. Patient data is the highest-value target on criminal markets. Medical devices run legacy software that cannot be easily patched. And under NIS2, most hospital networks are now essential entities with mandatory security and incident reporting obligations. Security here requires understanding the threat and working within the operational reality — you cannot take down a clinical network for maintenance.
Healthcare faces threats that most sectors do not.
- 01
Patient data is the highest-value target
Electronic health records command significant sums on criminal markets — more than payment card data. Healthcare organisations hold exactly what attackers want, and often with security postures that lag behind other sectors. A single breach can expose hundreds of thousands of records.
- 02
Medical devices run software that cannot be patched
Imaging systems, infusion pumps, and patient monitoring equipment frequently run Windows XP or unpatched embedded software. They cannot be easily updated, cannot tolerate downtime, and sit on the same networks as administrative systems — creating persistent, exploitable vulnerabilities.
- 03
Ransomware directly impacts patient safety
Ransomware against a hospital is not just a data incident — it shuts down clinical systems, diverts ambulances to other facilities, delays procedures, and forces staff to revert to paper processes. The consequences are measured in patient outcomes, not just euros and recovery costs.
- 04
NIS2 now applies to most health entities
Under NIS2, hospitals, private clinics, and healthcare providers above the size threshold are classified as essential entities. That means mandatory risk management measures, security controls across clinical and administrative networks, and incident notification to the national competent authority within 24 hours of a significant incident.
Security that works within clinical constraints.
NIS2 compliance for healthcare
Gap analysis and compliance programme built specifically for healthcare sector obligations — covering essential entity classification, risk management measures, incident reporting procedures, and audit evidence.
Medical device security
Vulnerability assessment, network segmentation, and passive monitoring for OT/IoT medical devices. We assess risk and implement controls without taking devices offline or disrupting clinical operations.
Patient data protection
GDPR data mapping, access control reviews, retention policy design, and breach response planning for organisations handling electronic health records and sensitive patient information.
Clinical network segmentation
Architectural separation of clinical systems, medical devices, and administrative networks — limiting the blast radius of a compromise and meeting NIS2 network security requirements.
Ransomware resilience
Backup architecture assessment, recovery time objective planning, offline backup verification, and incident response procedures designed for healthcare operational constraints.
24/7 SOC monitoring
Continuous threat monitoring with detection logic tuned for healthcare-specific attack patterns — ransomware precursors, credential abuse on clinical systems, and anomalous access to patient data.
