Why Cyber Security Matters More Than Ever for Healthcare
In recent years, the UK has seen a sharp increase in data breaches and enforcement actions. Organisations of all sizes across the healthcare sector both public and private companies continue to face growing scrutiny over how personal data is managed, protected, and shared.
During 2024/25, the ICO imposed £4.426 million in monetary penalties.
Of that, only £9,200 was for GDPR breaches.
The remainder largely stemmed from PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) or other non GDPR violations.
MediShield goes above and beyond when it comes ICO services offered, delivering detailed audit-level evaluations, identifying hidden vulnerabilities, assessing your readiness against ICO expectations, and reporting clear, actionable steps to ensure strength and compliance.
