Healthcare IT & Cybersecurity Alignment Review
Review how your practice’s IT environment, cybersecurity controls, access management, backups and policy documentation align with accreditation, governance and operational risk expectations.
What the review covers
A practical, plain-English review that looks at your current IT environment and cybersecurity controls, and how they line up with healthcare governance, cyber insurance and accreditation-supporting expectations.
- IT policy documentation and governance
- User access and permission structure
- MFA and account security
- Microsoft 365 security configuration
- Backup and recovery readiness
- Device, endpoint and patching posture
- Email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, mailbox rules)
- Staff onboarding and offboarding processes
- Incident response readiness
- Cyber insurance questionnaire preparation
- Accreditation-supporting IT evidence
Why healthcare practices need IT governance alignment
Medical, dental and allied health practices increasingly need to demonstrate that their IT environment is well-governed — not just that “it works”. Accreditation bodies, cyber insurers and regulators are asking sharper questions about access control, MFA, backups, documentation and incident response. A short alignment review helps practice owners see clearly where they stand and what to prioritise next, without assuming any prior technical knowledge.
Common gaps we find in clinics
Most issues are not unusual — they are practical documentation and configuration gaps that build up between provider changes, software updates and staff turnover.
- No documented IT or acceptable use policy
- Shared logins and unclear admin rights
- MFA missing on email, remote access or admin accounts
- Untested backups, or no Microsoft 365 backup at all
- No offboarding checklist when staff leave
- Microsoft 365 left on default security settings
- No written incident response or notifiable data breach plan
- Cyber insurance questionnaires answered without verification
- Limited evidence available when accreditation asks about IT controls
What the practice receives
After the review, your practice gets a clear, written summary of observations and recommended next steps — not a sales pitch.
- Practical IT and cybersecurity risk summary
- Access control and MFA observations
- Backup and recovery observations
- Microsoft 365 security observations
- Policy and documentation gap notes
- Recommended priority actions
- Optional follow-up support roadmap
Who the review is suitable for
The alignment review is designed for Australian healthcare practices that want a practical, independent view of where they stand.
- Medical, dental and allied health practices
- Practice owners and practice managers
- Clinics preparing for accreditation or renewal
- Practices completing a cyber insurance questionnaire
- Practices wanting an independent view of their IT provider
- Multi-site or growing healthcare groups
