Data Protection Services in the UK for Healthcare & Medical
Managed data protection services built around the compliance demands of Healthcare.
Multi-Layered Protection
Backup, replication, immutable storage, and offsite copies working together to protect against every data loss scenario.
Compliance Aligned
Data protection strategies designed to meet GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and sector-specific regulatory requirements.
Business Continuity
When data loss occurs, our recovery procedures get you back to business rapidly with tested, proven restore processes.
Every healthcare organisation managing patient health records must meet stringent data protection standards. Failure to comply with CQC, NHS DSPT, and GDPR and GDPR risks significant fines and lasting damage to your reputation.
Cloudswitched offers end-to-end data protection for UK healthcare providers. We assess your current posture, implement appropriate controls, and provide ongoing monitoring to keep patient health records secure and your healthcare organisation compliant.
How it works for Healthcare businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Risk Assessment
We assess your data landscape — identifying what data you hold, where it resides, how critical it is, and what threats it faces — to design protection measures proportionate to the risk.
2
Protection Implementation
Backup policies, encryption, access controls, and replication configured across your entire IT estate based on the assessment findings.
3
Ongoing Governance
Regular reviews of your data protection posture, retention policies, and compliance alignment ensure your protection measures remain effective as your business evolves.
