CyBER Security Maturity assesSment
At MediShield our Cyber Security Maturity Assessment offers a structured, independent and expert evaluation of your organisation’s digital infrastructure, policies, and practices and benchmarks against global standards and leading international frameworks, including ISO 27001/27002 and NIST CSF 2.0, ensuring alignment with best practices. structured, longitudinal evaluation of an organisation’s cybersecurity capabilities, designed to measure not only whether controls exist but how effectively and consistently they are implemented. Unlike a traditional gap analysis—which identifies control deficiencies at a single point in time—a CSMA supports continuous improvement, enabling healthcare organisations to enhance their security posture progressively.
We understand security is about a vigilant and pro-active approach. A MediShield cyber security assessment will provide you with a comprehensive risk report and view of your current security posture while delivering clear, tailored recommendations and a detailed strategic roadmap to strengthen resilience against present and future threats.
A Cyber Security Assessment enhances your cyber maturity, closes critical gaps and identifies opportunities to improve, It acts as proven assurance for stakeholders and demonstrates a verified resilience to patients, partners and regulators.
What is A Cyber Security Assessment?
Identification & Classification
We map out all critical systems, applications, and data to help you understand what needs the highest level of protection.
Thorough Evaluation
Experts will conduct a technical and administrative safeguards review to measure how effectively they protect against threats.
Risk Analysis
Threat and vulnerabilities assessment to determine the likelihood of exploitation as well as a calculation of potential impact.
Extensive Review
Ensure your organisation meets regulatory standards like HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, or the NHS DSP Toolkit, identifying any areas of non-compliance.
Detailed Reporting
We provide a clear, prioritised roadmap outlining priority issues. Actionable steps from quick configuration fixes to long-term strategic improvements.
Guidance
Advise on best placed future security investments such as monitoring, staff training, and regular reassessment to ensure your defences evolve with emerging threats.
Who needs a Cyber Security Assessment?
Organisations looking for a holistic view of their cyber security posture and practices will benefit greatly from a Cyber Security Assessment.
Some questions to ask yourself:
- Does my organisation have a strong understanding of it’s internal compliance?
- Does my business currently use an outsourced IT provider?
- Are we mapping our security to NIST, ISO 27001 or other relevant standards and frameworks?
- Do we have a clear understanding of our responsibilities when handling PII?
- Taking customer payments? If yes, are we compliant with PCI DSS?

Why Cyber Security Matters More Than Ever for Healthcare
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 116 million individuals were affected by healthcare data breaches in 2023 — a 136% increase from 2022.
Protect your organisation before attackers strike. Cyber threats now target networks, cloud systems, medical devices, and critical applications, putting patient data and clinical operations at risk.
A thorough Cyber Security Assessment uncovers hidden vulnerabilities, prioritises risks, and provides actionable guidance to strengthen your defences. By addressing weaknesses proactively, you safeguard sensitive information, maintain operational continuity, and build lasting trust with patients, partners, and regulators.
