Segmented clinical networks, hosted records systems with tested restores, cold
chain monitoring for vaccines and reagents, and the data controls patients are entitled
to expect.
The only copy of the records system on a desktop with no backup and a shared password. This is the most common and most serious finding in first assessments.
A visitor device on the same segment as diagnostic equipment and the records system. Segmentation is the first control we deploy.
A temperature log filled in twice a day, which cannot prove what happened overnight or during a power interruption.
Diagnostic devices tied to old operating systems that cannot be patched. These need isolating rather than upgrading, and isolation is a design decision.
The components are standard. How they are arranged is what the sector decides.
Separate networks for clinical systems, administration, medical devices and guest access, with controlled paths between them.
A visitor or office device can never reach diagnostic equipment or records.
Records and practice management systems moved to hosted or cloud with encryption and tested restores.
Records survive theft, disk failure or fire, with a measured recovery time.
Unpatchable equipment placed on restricted segments with tightly controlled access.
Old imaging or laboratory systems that cannot be a route into the wider network.
Wireless temperature and door sensors in cold rooms and vaccine fridges, with alerting and an automatic record.g
Proof that stock stayed in range, and an alert before product is lost.
UPS on clinical network equipment and records servers with clean shutdown on changeover.
No corrupted patient database after a power interruption.
Named accounts, multi-factor authentication on remote access, role-based permissions and access logging.
A record of who opened which patient file, and no shared logins.
Data mapping, retention rules and policy documentation for patient information.
A defensible position on how patient data is handled.
Records and practice management systems moved to hosted or cloud with encryption and tested restores.
Records survive theft, disk failure or fire, with a measured recovery time.
Unpatchable equipment placed on restricted segments with tightly controlled access.
Old imaging or laboratory systems that cannot be a route into the wider network.
Almost every healthcare engagement starts the same way: get patient records off the single unbacked machine and into hosted storage with a tested restore, then separate clinical systems from guest and administrative traffic. Cold chain monitoring and device isolation usually follow in the second phase.
Yes. Clinical areas are staged individually with the existing path kept live until the new one is verified, and cut-overs are scheduled with your clinical leads rather than around ours.
Wireless sensors in each fridge or cold room report to a gateway that buffers readings locally when connectivity drops. Threshold breaches alert by SMS and app, and the record is automatic rather than handwritten.
Yes. We handle the network, hosting, segmentation and protection around it and coordinate with your software vendor. The clinical application stays theirs.
Isolate rather than replace, in most cases. The device sits on a restricted segment with tightly controlled access, so it can continue in service without being a route into the rest of the network.
The first assessment is free, and you keep the findings whether or not you engage us.
