Securing patient data and IT operations for a leading cancer centre

A leading charitable cancer hospital and research centre serving over 100,000 patients a year

The challenge

What the client was trying to solve

Non-standard infrastructure, fragmented vendors and weak security protocols left hospital systems inefficient and patient data exposed.

The business problem

  1. 01

    No standardised IT infrastructure, which caused inefficiency and limited scalability across systems.

  2. 02

    Fragmented vendor coordination left gaps in managing hospital systems and integrating clinical equipment.

  3. 03

    Insufficient security protocols left sensitive patient data vulnerable.

Branta's approach

How we worked back from the outcome

A standardised, segregated network with HIPAA and ISO-aligned security policies and 24×7 SRE-style monitoring on IronCloud and CloudAssist.

  1. Ran a comprehensive IT assessment to identify gaps and align systems with healthcare industry standards.

  2. Redesigned the network architecture with network segregation and jump-host access for secure operations.

  3. Developed and implemented information security policies, including change and patch management and data protection, meeting ISO standards and HIPAA compliance.

  4. Established 24×7 monitoring and reporting on a site reliability engineering model, automated with IronCloud and CloudAssist.
