NHS and healthcare providers
Cybersecurity for NHS and healthcare providers
Protect your organisation, safeguard patient data and fulfil your compliance obligations with one cyber risk management platform for healthcare.
Support your Data Security and Protection Toolkit submission with Cyber Essentials, device protection and staff training. Patient trust depends on it. So does patient care.
The healthcare sector is underdefended
Between January 2019 and June 2024, there have been 215 ransomware incidents reported in the UK healthcare sector, with most of them targeting the NHS. Yet, only 36% of NHS staff believe current security measures are sufficient.
The challenge
Healthcare providers and their suppliers face twin pressures. On the one hand, security budgets are tighter than ever before.
But on the other hand, the sector faces mounting attacks and the need to comply with the Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT) and the upcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Bill.
This is where CyberSmart can help.
How we can help
Gain year-round protection from cyber threats
Protect your staff, systems and patient data with our compliance, assurance and threat detection software.
Active Protect checks every laptop, desktop, tablet and phone, across wards, clinics, surgeries and home visits, and guides staff to fix risks in minutes. When systems go down, appointments and care are delayed. Continuous monitoring helps keep them running.
Give your people the skills to protect your organisation
Research shows 60% of NHS staff want more cybersecurity training. Our tailored training for healthcare professionals makes your staff your strongest line of defence.
Mobile-friendly modules fit around shifts, and phishing simulations teach staff to spot healthcare scams. Completion reports give you evidence for your DSPT submission. Your staff want the skills. Give them what they're asking for.
Enforce security policy compliance
Distribute security policies across your organisation and track who has read and agreed to them.
Start from ready-made templates covering data protection, data classification, IT access and security awareness, and roll them out to every site and team in minutes. See acceptance at a glance, including new starters and bank staff. Clear evidence of good information governance, ready when you need it.
Close the gaps with effortless patching
Reduce vulnerabilities by keeping third-party software up to date with new security patches automatically.
Browsers, PDF readers, video calling and productivity apps stay updated across Windows and Mac without interrupting clinical work. That helps you meet the Cyber Essentials 14-day patching rule, with a full patch history for every device. Known vulnerabilities, closed automatically.
