Healthcare Cybersecurity
Protect Your Healthcare Business from Cyberattacks.
We monitor and test the websites, booking systems and patient portals your practice exposes to the internet — and tell you in plain English what to fix.
Authorised, non-destructive testing. No access to patient records.
The Risk
Why Hackers Target Healthcare Organizations
Not every practice will be attacked. But these are the reasons attackers look.
Sensitive patient information
Medical histories, contact details, identity and financial records can be sold or used for fraud.
Ransomware and extortion
Attackers encrypt systems or threaten to leak data, counting on pressure to restore services fast.
Operational disruption
Appointments, patient communication and administration all depend on systems staying online.
Outdated technology
Old software, unpatched plugins and forgotten services are easy entry points for automated attacks.
Weak external security
Exposed admin panels, insecure web apps and misconfigured servers widen the attack surface.
Financial motivation
The cost and reputational damage of an incident make healthcare a profitable target.
What DEX SECURITY Provides
Find the weaknesses before attackers do.
Automated External Security Monitoring
Scheduled, authorised checks for new assets, exposed services, misconfigurations and newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
Website & Plugin Vulnerability Detection
CMS and plugin versions checked for known vulnerabilities. Some issues cannot be detected externally, and we say so.
Web Enumeration & Attack Surface Discovery
A documented inventory of your subdomains, websites, applications and exposed network services.
Web Application Security Assessments
Booking systems and patient portals reviewed for weaknesses, with manual penetration testing where your agreement covers it.
Monthly Retainer
How the monthly retainer works.
Monitoring and reporting every month, not a one-off report that goes stale.
Please note: automated monitoring runs at the frequency your plan defines. Manual testing and human reviews are delivered within the agreed scope — not 24/7.
- 01
Onboarding & Scope
Agree which websites, applications and domains are in scope, the testing authorisation, and how often monitoring runs.
- 02
Automated Monitoring
Scheduled enumeration, technology identification, vulnerability and configuration checks on approved assets.
- 03
Human Review & Reporting
Findings are reviewed and prioritised. Each report covers affected systems, severity, evidence, fixes and what changed since last month.
- 04
Monthly Review & Verification
We walk through important findings, track open issues and re-test fixes where included.
- •A snapshot that dates as soon as your site changes
- •No visibility of new vulnerabilities until the next audit
- •Retesting often billed separately
- ✓Ongoing visibility as your systems change
- ✓Newly emerging risks picked up between reviews
- ✓Predictable fixed monthly cost, retests included
Common questions
- Do you access patient medical records?
- No. We only test internet-facing systems agreed in writing. We never access or disrupt internal health record systems.
- Does this make us HIPAA compliant?
- No assessment can guarantee compliance. We help you find and fix external technical weaknesses, which supports your wider compliance work.
- Will testing take our booking system offline?
- No. Testing is non-destructive and safe for live systems. We do not run denial-of-service tests.
- What healthcare frameworks do your assessments reference?
- Our technical evaluations are mapped against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and the technical safeguards outlined in the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR § 164.312).
