FOR HOSPITALS, CLINICS AND LIFE SCIENCES

Cyber security for healthcare that fits the working day

Q: What are the biggest cyber threats in healthcare?

Ransomware , phishing and social engineering against clinical and administrative staff, compromised supplier accounts, and unpatched connected medical devices. Most of these reach the organisation through a person rather than through a technical vulnerability.

Lessons of one to eight minutes, built around ward rounds, handovers and admin work
Phishing, smishing and vishing simulations that mirror the attacks reaching hospitals
Audit-ready reporting aligned to NIS2, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, the CER Directive and HDS

How SoSafe helps

Solutions for your healthcare cyber security risks

Lessons short enough to finish before handover

One to eight minutes, on a ward terminal, between two jobs. What matters is the habit: at three in the morning, on a fourth night shift, people still look at who sent it.

Simulations on the channels attackers actually use

Email, SMS and phone. People meet the same tricks in training that reach them at work, and whatever someone misses in one round decides what they are sent in the next.

Audit reports and analytics that show real change

Behaviour signals become reports that map to NIS2, GDPR and ISO/IEC 27001. The board sees one trackable metric, the security team sees where risk actually sits across departments.

THE RISKS BEHIND THE PROGRAMME

What healthcare teams are up against

Ransomware moving into the ward

Ransomware takes out scheduling, and within an hour the ward is running on printed lists and phone calls. Imaging backs up. Non-urgent surgery gets moved by weeks, long after the servers are clean.

Phishing that knows the rota

A fake lab result. A rota change from someone in HR you have never met. An invoice chaser from a supplier you do use. All of it lands mid-shift, on a terminal three people share, and it looks routine.

The call from IT support

A caller needs something now and says he is from the helpdesk. Cloning a voice off a recording costs almost nothing. Around a quarter of social engineering breaches involve phone or social channels.

The way in through a supplier

Imaging equipment, service contractors, research partners: each one holds a route into the network. Credentials stolen from a maintenance firm arrive as a valid login, and a person notices before a tool does.

Compliance and audit-readiness

Built for European Healthcare Risk and Compliance

Healthcare cyber security is judged on evidence, not intent. SoSafe connects employee behaviour, threat signals and audit records to support your obligations under NIS2, GDPR, the CER Directive and ISO/IEC 27001, alongside France’s HDS framework.

HEALTHCARE CYBER SECURITY BY ROLE

Role-based protection for your entire healthcare workforce

Clinical and frontline staff

Doctors, nurses and care staff train on shared terminals or personal devices without needing a company email address. Scenarios use the situations they actually meet: a suspicious login alert during a night shift, or a message that looks like it came from the ward system.

Administrative and office teams

Office-based teams handle referrals, invoices, payroll and supplier correspondence, which is exactly what attackers imitate. Training runs on those same documents. A payment request with new bank details. An MFA prompt by SMS. A delivery notice sitting next to twenty real ones.

Security, IT and the board

Administrators go deep on privileged access and incident triage. Managers and executives get a shorter version, pitched at what a board or an auditor asks about first, which is rarely the technical detail and almost always the reporting deadline and who signs it off.

Regulated production teams

Teams in pharmaceutical manufacturing and pharmacovigilance train against the risks specific to regulated production: data integrity, GMP documentation and the operational technology sitting between the plant floor and the corporate network, where one unpatched terminal holds up a batch.

How SoSafe works day-to-day

Personalised lessons

Lessons adjust to role, prior knowledge and risk profile, so a ward nurse and a systems administrator never sit through the same content.

Live threat simulations

A phishing mail caught in your own environment can be rebuilt as a training simulation in three to four minutes and sent to the teams it targeted.

Email, SMS and voice

Vishing, smishing and phishing simulations run from one dashboard, so the channels attackers move to are covered by the same programme.

From policy to lesson

Drop in the hospital’s existing policy or a GMP procedure. The first draft of the lesson comes back with your own wording still in it.

One button, one queue

Suspicious mail goes into one triage queue at the press of a button, and Sofie, our AI copilot, fields the follow-up questions in Outlook, Slack or Teams.

Evidence for the audit

An NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001 or GDPR report takes under an hour to pull, and a single figure follows behaviour change across the whole year.

Healthcare cyber security FAQs

Because cyber security in a healthcare setting is a clinical question, not only an IT one. When scheduling, imaging or patient records become unavailable, wards revert to paper and treatment is delayed. Healthcare data also stays valuable for decades, which keeps it attractive long after a breach.

Ransomware, phishing and social engineering against clinical and administrative staff, compromised supplier accounts, and unpatched connected medical devices. Most of these reach the organisation through a person rather than through a technical vulnerability.

A message or a call directed at an employee. Phishing remains the most frequent entry point, followed by stolen or reused credentials and access through a third-party supplier. This is why behaviour and reporting habits matter as much as technical controls.

Publicly reported incidents in European healthcare over recent years have followed a recurring pattern: initial access through a phishing message or a supplier account, lateral movement into scheduling and records systems, and postponed procedures during recovery.

Per user, per device, or per bed, whichever matches how your organisation is structured, with multi-year discounted contracts available for organisations working within constrained hospital or life sciences budgets.

Yes, and they’re commonly used by hospitals and life sciences organisations working within multi-year budget cycles. Talk to sales and we will price it against how your organisation is set up.

Behavioural training, threat reports and human risk scores are mapped to the requirements that govern cyber security in healthcare, among them NIS2, GDPR and ISO/IEC 27001. Security teams export that mapping as audit evidence.

Yes. Enrolment doesn’t require a business email address, so shift-based clinical and frontline staff can be trained alongside administrative teams with role-based content customised for differing risk profiles.

Yes. Nursing, administrative teams, IT, leadership and GMP-regulated production each get their own track, and someone who changes role moves to the content that matches.

Yes. Lessons cover what should never be pasted into a public AI tool, how AI-written phishing and cloned voices give themselves away, and where your own policy applies.

Yes. SoSafe is designed to run as a complementary programme alongside existing mandatory, profession-specific training, not as a competing demand on people’s time.

SoSafe delivers short one-to-eight-minute microlearning modules that employees can complete on any desktop or mobile device during brief moments of downtime, avoiding lost clinical productivity.

Campaigns run on a schedule, threat reports land in one triage queue and Sofie answers routine questions, so a lean team can keep a healthcare cyber security programme running on as little as 15 minutes a week.
