IT that protects patients and their records
Private clinics, care providers and NHS suppliers run on systems that hold some of the most sensitive data there is. We build managed IT that meets the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, upholds the Caldicott principles and keeps clinical systems available when patients are being cared for, so information governance is evidenced rather than promised.
Compliance we build to
- NHS DSPT
- Caldicott principles
- GDPR
- Cyber Essentials Plus
The pressure you are under
What keeps this sector up at night
The stakes are specific. We build the stack around the risks that actually matter to your operation.
Patient data is a prime target
Health records command a high price and attract deliberate ransomware and phishing campaigns. A breach exposes patients and triggers regulatory scrutiny, not just disruption.
Clinical systems cannot go down
When an EPR or patient record system stalls during care, clinicians lose the information they rely on to make decisions. Uptime is a safety issue, not a convenience.
The DSPT sets the bar
Any organisation handling NHS patient data must complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit each year and stand behind its evidence. Ad-hoc IT struggles to produce it.
Caldicott duties sit with named people
A Caldicott Guardian is accountable for how patient information is used and shared. They need clear controls and an audit trail to discharge that duty with confidence.
Staff are the front line and the gap
Busy clinical and care teams are the most phished people in the building. Without training and technical guardrails, one click can put an entire record store at risk.
Care of patients comes first
Clinical staff should be focused on people, not troubleshooting systems. IT has to fade into the background and simply work through every shift.
Our approach
Built for your operating reality
We start with your information governance obligations and design the estate to defend them. Patient data is encrypted, access is controlled on a need-to-know basis in line with the Caldicott principles, and every touch is logged so your Caldicott Guardian can show how information is used. Clinical systems are monitored, patched and backed up so an EPR or patient record system stays available during care, with tested recovery when something fails. We run to the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit as a matter of routine, with Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 as the baseline, so your annual submission is a summary of how we already operate rather than a scramble to assemble evidence.
