CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE // HDS & MEDICAL OT
Sector · Healthcare

A hospital cannot fail over to paper for a week.

Healthcare is Europe’s most ransomware-targeted sector and among the least defended — legacy clinical systems that cannot be patched, medical devices nobody can take offline, and NIS2 obligations arriving on top of GDPR. European competition in this niche is genuinely low.

Cannot patch, cannot stop

Availability outranks confidentiality here. That single fact changes every recommendation we make.

What we do differently for hospitals

Passive first, always

Clinical networks get monitored before they get touched. Nothing we deploy can take a ward offline, and we prove that before it goes in.

Segment around what cannot be fixed

A twelve-year-old imaging workstation will never be patched. We build the boundary around it rather than pretending otherwise.

Ransomware playbooks rehearsed

Isolation decisions during an attack are clinical decisions. They get made in a tabletop exercise, not at three in the morning.

Backup you have actually restored

We test the restore against real clinical data volumes. Most hospital backup plans have never completed a full restore.

Medical devices inventoried

You cannot defend an estate you have not counted. This is usually the first surprise of the engagement.

One file for two regulators

NIS2 and GDPR evidence maintained together, because the underlying controls are largely the same ones.

Where our responsibility ends

Two lines we do not cross in a hospital.

We do not certify medical devices.MDR conformity belongs to the manufacturer and its notified body. We secure the network the device sits on, and we help you ask the manufacturer the right questions.

We do not touch clinical systems in production.Testing happens in a mirror environment, on your clinical team’s schedule. No exceptions, and no “quick look” on a live ward.
