Sector package

Cyber security for hospitals, clinics and diagnostic labs

Healthcare is attacked because it pays. Patient records sell, downtime is intolerable, and the systems were built for clinicians, not attackers.

What goes wrong in hospitals & clinics

  • Ransomware on hospital information systems

    Encryption of HIS, PACS or lab systems halts admissions and billing within hours. Backups are often on the same network.

  • Patient data leaks

    Reports, prescriptions and ID copies exposed through misconfigured servers or WhatsApp groups. Now a DPDP Act breach with notification duties.

  • Fake "insurance" and "test report" calls

    Patients phished with details that only the hospital should know, pointing to a leak upstream.

Rules that apply to you

  • DPDP Act 2023: health data is personal data; consent, purpose limitation and breach notification apply.
  • CERT-In directions (April 2022): report incidents within six hours, keep logs for 180 days.
  • NABH and insurer requirements increasingly include information-security controls.
