Cyber resilience and incident response in healthcare

A guide for healthcare organisations and boards 5 min read

Cyber incidents are disproportionately frequent in the healthcare sector—and their consequences are often more severe.

The potentially life-threatening risk to patient care means that healthcare providers that can't withstand or recover quickly from a major cyber incident are likely to become fertile ground for class action activity and regulatory enforcement action.

Despite this, very little sector-specific guidance has been published about how healthcare providers should prepare for and respond to a major cyber incident that significantly impacts their operations.

 We’ve developed a new guide to cyber resilience and incident response for healthcare sector organisations and boards to help address this gap. The guide includes practical tools to:

• navigate complex regulatory requirements
• strengthen operational resilience
• manage supply chain vulnerabilities
• identify key governance red flags.
