Cyber security risks
As a business that captures, stores and processes medical data, you’re at risk of a cyber-security breach.
Government research has revealed that 43% of businesses in the UK have reported breaches or attacks in the last 12 months; with only 27% having a formal policy covering cyber security risk (Cyber Security Breach Survey 2018*).
Living in a GDPR world with heightened sensitivity around the use of data and more severe fines for breaches in security, there are very real consequences for GP practices like yours.
Where you’re most vulnerable;
• Ability to trade – how could your practice keep going if you can’t access patient information?
• Data – what would happen if there was a loss or theft of patient or employee data?
• Money – how easily can you spot and prevent phishing attacks and email interception?
• Reputation – how would your practice respond and recover to an attack?
You owe it to your patients and your people to keep their information safe. We owe it to you to help you.
