Healthcare
Clinical systems can’t wait for a fix. We design, run and recover infrastructure for NHS and healthcare organisations, so EPRs, imaging and patient-facing services stay available, and you stay compliant with CAF and DSPT.
Healthcare and Synapse
Synapse works with NHS trusts and healthcare providers to protect and recover the systems clinical services depend on. Infrastructure, private and public cloud, and data protection are delivered on owned UK infrastructure, with recovery designed, tested and evidenced against the standards healthcare organisations are assessed on. Every workload sits in the environment that suits it, on the Synapse Adaptive Cloud platform.
CAF and DSPT readiness, assessed at no cost
Healthcare organisations are working towards Cyber Assessment Framework alignment alongside their annual Data Security and Protection Toolkit submission, and the hardest part is usually knowing where the gaps actually are, particularly across the supply chain.
Synapse combines assessment technology with consultancy to identify security vulnerabilities across NHS organisations and the suppliers they depend on. You get a clear view of where you stand against CAF and DSPT expectations, and what needs to change to close the distance.
This assessment is normally chargeable. For NHS organisations, Synapse waives the fee.
We understand your sector
Healthcare organisations carry data security obligations assessed every year, systems supporting clinical care around the clock, and budgets subject to public scrutiny. All three have to be satisfied together, usually across estates spanning multiple sites and successive generations of technology decisions
Benefits
Healthcare infrastructure with one accountable owner.
-
01
Recovery that is tested and documented
Backup, disaster recovery and cyber recovery are designed around your recovery objectives, with annual documented testing and restores requested at your own cadence. Testing documentation is produced in a form that supports your DSPT submission.
-
02
Protection at genuine clinical scale
Synapse protects multi-petabyte estates across multiple hospital sites, covering virtual, physical, database and file workloads, on infrastructure we own and operate.
-
03
A clean copy held outside the estate
Cyber Recovery keeps an isolated, immutable, air-gapped copy of your data, scanned for signs of compromise, so recovery from an attack starts from something verified.
-
04
Security governance you can point to
Synapse maintains an ISO 27001-aligned information security management framework and holds relevant security accreditations. Where applicable to the delivery of NHS services, Synapse works in accordance with NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit requirements.
-
05
Predictable cost you can forecast
Infrastructure is delivered on a defined commitment rather than variable consumption charges, so recovery capability does not arrive with an unpredictable bill at the worst possible moment.
-
06
One accountable partner across the estate
Owned data centres, cloud and data protection under one provider, with a dedicated Customer Success Manager and defined service reviews.
