Cyber security for healthcare
Protecting patient data and keeping care running.
Healthcare providers hold some of the most sensitive personal information there is, and rely on systems being available to deliver care. That combination — high-value data plus low tolerance for downtime — makes healthcare a favoured target for ransomware and data theft.
The risks
What healthcare providers are up against
- Ransomware disrupting patient care and systems
- Exposure of highly sensitive patient health information
- Privacy Act 2020 and Health Information Privacy Code expectations
- Phishing targeting busy clinical and admin staff
- Legacy systems and connected medical devices
How we help
Practical protection, right-sized
- Ransomware protection with tested, rapid recovery
- Strong identity and access control around patient data
- Email and awareness defences for clinical teams
- Privacy and governance support for health information
- Continuity planning so care can keep running
FAQ
Common questions
Why is healthcare a top ransomware target?
Because downtime directly affects patient care, providers are under intense pressure to restore systems — which attackers exploit. Tested recovery and prevention are the key defences.
What rules apply to patient data in NZ?
The Privacy Act 2020 and the Health Information Privacy Code govern patient information. Protecting it, and reporting serious breaches, is essential.
Can you work with our practice-management systems?
Yes. We work around clinical and practice-management software, securing identity, email, devices and backups without disrupting patient care.
