Medical practices hold health records, Medicare numbers and staff identity documents — the most sensitive data any business can carry. A suburban Victorian clinic had around 20,000 patient records taken this month. This is where a breach finds the gap.
The two-minute check gives you an instant read. If you want the full picture, our fixed-price Data Security Review looks at each of these in your business and hands you a prioritised plan.
Where patient data lives
Are records and ID documents sitting in individual staff inboxes, or somewhere actually secured?
Authentication
Is multi-factor authentication on for your practice software, patient records and email?
Access control
Does access to patient records end the day a staff member or locum leaves?
Staff identity documents
Are passports, licences and police checks secured to the same standard as patient data?
Ransomware resilience
Is patient data backed up somewhere an attack couldn't also reach?
Breach readiness
Is there a written first-hour plan, including your OAIC and My Health Record obligations?
The review is an assessment and a roadmap, done with your cooperation — not a penetration test, not a compliance certification, and not legal or clinical advice. We tell you where your gaps are and what to fix first, in plain English. Regulatory references are general information; confirm your specific obligations with your own adviser.
Your review is handled by a senior specialist — not a call centre, not a hand-off. Email us and we'll set up a 15-minute call.
