Cybersecurity for Healthcare

Healthcare is the #1 ransomware target in Australia.

Patient records are worth more on the dark web than credit card numbers. Dental and medical practices are specifically targeted because their data is valuable and their defences are often weak. We fix that.

Security controls

Layered security built for clinical environments.

We implement controls that are proportionate to the real threat landscape for Australian dental and medical practices — not checkbox compliance.

🔑

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA enforced on every user account — Microsoft 365, remote access, clinical software and admin portals. The single most effective control against credential theft.

🛡️

Endpoint Protection

Enterprise-grade endpoint protection on every workstation and laptop — not the free antivirus that came with your PC. Managed, monitored and updated centrally.

🔥

Managed Firewall

Properly configured perimeter firewall with regular rule review, traffic logging and alerting. Not the ISP-provided router left at factory defaults.

📧

Email Security

Anti-phishing, anti-spoofing (DMARC/SPF/DKIM), malicious attachment filtering and impersonation protection. Email is the #1 entry point for healthcare breaches.

🌐

Secure Remote Access

VPN or zero-trust remote access with MFA and device compliance checks — so clinicians can access systems from home without creating an open door.

👥

Security Awareness Training

Regular phishing simulations and security awareness training for practice staff. Human behaviour is the weakest link — we address it directly.

📊

Security Risk Assessment

A structured review of your current security posture — MFA gaps, backup health, firewall rules, admin access, remote access and data handling — with a prioritised remediation plan.

🚨

Incident Response

If something goes wrong, you need a team that knows what to do. We have documented incident response procedures and direct contacts at relevant vendors and authorities.

Australian compliance

Built for Australian healthcare requirements.

The Australian Privacy Act 1988 requires healthcare providers to take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access. The Australian Government's Essential Eight provides a practical framework for doing so.
