For clinics and healthcare providers
Patient records need more than a password.
Dental practices, physio and therapy clinics, opticians and care providers hold health data that UK GDPR treats as especially sensitive. Brightlock Cyber helps you protect it, and covers much of what the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit asks for.
The risks we see most in clinics and healthcare providers
Health data sent the wrong way
Patient details sent by ordinary email or messaging apps can be intercepted or sent to the wrong person.
Practice system logins
Shared logins or no two-step verification on your practice system mean one stolen password exposes every patient.
NHS and insurer requirements
If you provide NHS services, you're expected to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit each year.

- 1Are patient records kept in a clinical or practice system with individual logins and two-step verification?
