Healthcare and health services

IT and security for clinical environments, where patient information carries obligations most sectors do not have.

01

The environment

Healthcare runs on systems that cannot be down during a clinic and cannot be casual about who sees what. The obligations attached to patient information are stricter than general privacy law, and they apply whether or not anyone is checking.

  • Patient information under the Health Information Privacy Code, not only the Privacy Act
  • Clinical systems that cannot be unavailable partway through a clinic or a shift
  • Shared workstations and shift handover, where one sign in per device is not how a floor works
  • Practice management, referrals and results that have to reach each other and the systems beyond the practice
  • Ransomware, which targets the sector precisely because downtime is not survivable

02

What we deliver

  • Managed Microsoft 365 and identity, with conditional access sized to clinical workflow rather than against it
  • Backup and recovery tested against how long a clinic can actually be down, not against a storage target
  • Hardened device baselines and patching across desktops, laptops and shared terminals
  • Network segmentation so clinical and diagnostic equipment is not flat on the same network as everything else
  • Posture assessment against a recognised framework, with the controls implemented rather than asserted

03

Where it usually starts

Usually an audit, an insurer or a privacy question that has arrived and cannot yet be answered with evidence. We assess against a recognised framework, prioritise by clinical risk rather than technical severity, then implement what we recommended.

Healthcare and health services has a page because its operating conditions change how the work has to be built. It is not a limit on who we work with: the work underneath is the same in any industry.All industries
