The most-targeted sector. Built to keep care running.
Cybersecurity designed around clinical operations: PHI, shared workstations, BYOD clinicians, and the resilience to keep care moving when ransomware hits.
Healthcare is the most-attacked sector in the country.
Patient data is high-value, clinical systems are unforgiving of downtime, and the attack surface is unlike any other industry. The pattern repeats, and so does the answer.
Patient health information
PHI is the highest-value data type for attackers. Notifiable Data Breach obligations bite hard, and reputational damage outlasts the incident.
Ransomware on clinical systems
When EMR and PAS systems go down, care stops. Healthcare is the most ransomware-targeted sector globally, and recovery time is the difference between an incident and a crisis.
Shared workstations and BYOD clinicians
Nurses on the ward, GPs across multiple clinics, allied health on personal phones. Identity and device hygiene cannot rely on one-person, one-device assumptions.
Legacy clinical systems
Imaging, lab and infusion devices that cannot be patched, still on the network. Segmentation and compensating controls are the only realistic answer.
Privacy Act, My Health Records Act and ADHA expectations.
Healthcare providers in Australia operate under the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles, the My Health Records Act, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and ADHA security expectations. Aged care adds the Aged Care Quality Standards. We build to those obligations explicitly.
What we map to
The frameworks that matter in healthcare
- ✓Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
- ✓My Health Records Act and ADHA security expectations
- ✓Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme readiness
- ✓Aged Care Quality Standards (for aged care providers)
- ✓Essential Eight Maturity Level 2 as a defensible baseline
The pressures landing on clinical and aged care leaders, in 2025 and 2026.
Australian healthcare and aged care are the most-attacked sectors in the country. These are the specific pressures clinical and executive leaders are answering for.
Healthcare is now the most-targeted sector in Australia.
Eastern Health, NSW Health pathology and MediSecure made the pattern public. The sector is also the most likely to make headlines when it goes wrong.
The strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards lift the cyber bar.
Information security and clinical information governance now have explicit, auditable expectations. Providers without a current posture answer are exposed.
PHI is squarely in the regulator’s sights.
The OAIC has named healthcare as a focus sector. Notifiable Data Breach response times, and the controls that prevent them, are being benchmarked.
Healthcare is now the highest-risk category outside critical infrastructure.
Pricing reflects it. Tested recovery, immutable backup and identity hygiene are now binding-level questions, not nice-to-haves.
The cost of an EMR or PAS outage is climbing, fast.
Boards now ask for evidence of recovery time, not policy text. Tabletop exercises and tested DR are the answer they accept.
Imaging, lab and infusion devices on the flat network are still everywhere.
Segmentation and compensating controls are the only realistic answer. We design them once and hold them over time.
A security program that keeps clinical services running.
Six controls, mapped to the way healthcare actually works: clinicians, devices, data and resilience.
Phishing-resistant MFA without slowing clinicians
Shared-device sign-in flows that work on the ward, FIDO2 keys for high-privilege roles, Conditional Access tuned to clinical reality rather than office logic.
Managed endpoints across every clinical context
Intune for Windows fleets and shared workstations, JAMF for iPad-led clinical apps, Defender or CrowdStrike for endpoint protection, Conditional Access tying it all together.
Labels, DLP and DSPM around patient data
Sensitivity labels on PHI-containing content; Purview DLP stops it leaving in email or SharePoint; Cyera maps where PHI actually lives across SaaS and storage.
Immutable, tested backups of clinical systems
EMR databases, imaging stores, M365, file shares and clinical applications backed up to immutable storage. Recovery is tested quarterly, documented, board-reportable.
Segmenting legacy clinical devices off the flat network
Imaging, lab and infusion devices that cannot be patched are wrapped, not flat-routed. Compensating controls and tight zoning, designed once and held over time.
Stop phishing and PHI leaks in the inbox
Mimecast in front of Defender for Office, plus Mimecast Incydr for sensitive content leaving via web, sync or personal email. Phishing-resistant MFA closes the credential loop.
A practice that can keep delivering care, calmly, when things go wrong.
- PHI protected by design, not policy alone
- Clinical services keep running through ransomware
- NDB readiness, documented and board-reportable
- Aged Care Quality Standards posture answered
- Cyber insurance answers you can stand behind
- A program your clinical leadership can read
Ready to keep care running, calmly.
We design, implement and hand over secure systems your team can run. Senior advice, scoped engagements, no managed-service lock-in.
Questions healthcare leaders ask before they engage.
Straight answers, no hedging.
Do you understand clinical systems (EMR, PAS, PACS)?
Yes. We do not pretend to clinically configure your EMR, but we secure the infrastructure, identity, devices and data around it, in a way that does not interfere with care.
How do you handle shared clinical workstations?
Fast user-switching flows with phishing-resistant MFA, Conditional Access tuned to ward reality, and device compliance signals that respect short-session usage.
Can you support iPad-led clinical apps?
Yes. JAMF Pro for iPad management at depth, App Self-Service, Conditional Access tying iPad compliance into Microsoft identity decisions.
What about legacy medical devices on the network?
We segment them carefully, apply compensating controls, and design the network so a single compromised device cannot pivot into clinical systems.
What is the answer to ransomware in healthcare?
Immutable backups, tested recovery, identity hygiene, EDR everywhere, and a clear runbook. The goal is not zero attacks, it is short, controlled downtime.
Are aged care providers different?
Same Privacy Act obligations, plus the Aged Care Quality Standards. The implementation is similar; we calibrate the controls to the operating environment.
