The Challenge

Healthcare IT Failure Is a Patient Safety Issue

Healthcare is the most targeted sector for ransomware attacks globally. The WannaCry attack on the NHS in 2017 cancelled over 19,000 appointments and cost an estimated £92 million. Since then, attacks have only grown more sophisticated and more frequent.

Healthcare organisations face a unique challenge: clinical systems must be available 24/7 — downtime directly impacts patient care — while patient data must be protected to the highest standard under GDPR, DSPT and HIPAA.

Baycop's healthcare IT practice is built around this reality. We deliver security that protects without disrupting clinical operations, and availability guarantees that your clinical teams can rely on.

FAQ

Healthcare IT Security — Common Questions

What is the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT)?

The DSPT is a self-assessment tool that NHS organisations and their suppliers must complete annually to demonstrate compliance with the National Data Guardian's data security standards. Baycop helps healthcare organisations achieve and maintain DSPT compliance through gap assessments, remediation and evidence management.

Do you provide HIPAA-compliant IT services in the UK?

Yes. Baycop provides HIPAA-aligned IT and security services for UK healthcare organisations that handle US patient data or work with US healthcare partners. This includes PHI encryption, access controls, audit logging, breach notification procedures and Business Associate Agreement (BAA) support.

How do you secure medical devices and clinical IoT?

Baycop applies network segmentation to isolate medical devices from general IT networks, implements passive monitoring to detect anomalous device behaviour without disrupting clinical operations, and works with device manufacturers to apply available patches and firmware updates safely.

What uptime SLA do you offer for clinical systems?

Baycop offers a 99.99% uptime SLA for critical clinical systems. Our NOC monitors clinical infrastructure 24/7 and our P1 response SLA is 15 minutes — because in healthcare, downtime is not just a business problem, it is a patient safety issue.

Can you support NHS supplier DSPT requirements?

Yes. Baycop supports NHS suppliers in meeting their DSPT obligations, including the Data Security and Protection requirements for organisations that access NHS patient data. We provide gap assessments, remediation support and evidence management for annual DSPT submissions.
