Secure patient data.
Enable critical care.
Hospitals, medical researchers, and medtech firms face unparalleled pressure to maintain zero-downtime operations. World Computing protects Electronic Health Records (EHR) and clinical networks from ransomware and operational disruption.
Where healthcare is most exposed.
Clinical environments prioritize patient access over strict IT lockdowns, creating unique vulnerabilities that standard enterprise security solutions fail to address.
Ransomware & Downtime
The Threat to Life Safety
Ransomware in a hospital doesn't just encrypt files; it delays surgeries, disrupts ambulance routing, and endangers patient safety. We focus on resilient network architecture and robust incident exercising to ensure clinical continuity even during an active cyber attack.
Medical Device Security
Vulnerable IoMT Networks
MRI machines, infusion pumps, and patient monitors often run on legacy, unpatchable operating systems. We implement strict network micro-segmentation to isolate these critical Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices from standard hospital workstations and external threats.
Patient Data Privacy
Protecting Electronic Health Records
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are highly lucrative on the dark web. We deploy Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and identity governance to ensure that doctors and nurses have fast access to records, while preventing unauthorized bulk extraction by insiders or compromised accounts.
How we secure healthcare providers.
Explore our targeted cybersecurity capabilities designed for clinical and research environments.
Incident Response & Exercising
We build and test incident response playbooks specifically for clinical downtime. Through tabletop exercises with hospital leadership and IT staff, we simulate ransomware scenarios to validate backup integrity, communication plans, and emergency paper-record protocols.
- NCSC-Aligned Tabletop Exercises
- Ransomware Readiness Assessments
- Backup & Recovery Validation
- Executive Crisis Management
IoMT & Network Segmentation
Legacy medical devices cannot run antivirus software. We architect Zero Trust network segments that place vulnerable clinical equipment into isolated VLANs. This ensures that if a receptionist's PC is infected, the malware physically cannot reach the MRI network.
- Zero Trust Architecture Design
- Medical Device (IoMT) Discovery
- VLAN & Firewall Audits
- Lateral Movement Defense
Supply Chain & Third-Party Risk
Healthcare providers rely on hundreds of external vendors—from billing software to remote diagnostic technicians. We audit your third-party supply chain to ensure vendors meet strict security requirements before they connect to your patient data environment.
- Vendor Security Questionnaires
- Remote Access Auditing
- Cloud Provider Configuration Reviews
- SaaS Application Assessments
Clinical Application Testing
Patient portals, telemedicine apps, and internal EHR systems require rigorous security assurance. Our penetration testing teams safely evaluate clinical applications for vulnerabilities like Broken Access Control (BOLA), ensuring patients can only view their own records.
- Patient Portal Penetration Testing
- Telehealth API Security
- Role-Based Access Control Audits
- Safe, Non-Disruptive Scanning
Frameworks we support.
We translate clinical cybersecurity into compliant, audit-ready evidence for regulatory bodies.
NHS DSP Toolkit (DSPT)
We provide gap analysis, penetration testing, and evidence gathering to ensure NHS Trusts and private providers meet the mandatory Data Security and Protection Toolkit requirements.
HIPAA & HITECH
For international providers and medtech firms, we architect controls that satisfy strict US regulations regarding the safeguarding of Protected Health Information (PHI).
ISO 27799 / ISO 27001
We guide healthcare organizations through the implementation of Information Security Management Systems tailored specifically to health informatics and patient privacy.
