Downtime here is a patient safety event

Healthcare runs on connected clinical technology that cannot be taken offline, cannot always be patched, and was often certified years before the current threat landscape existed. HexaShield brings medical devices and clinical systems into the same monitored, evidenced estate as everything else, passively, and without interrupting care.

Where we are brought in

Three problems we are asked to solve in healthcare

Systems and data staying available is not an IT metric here, it is patient safety. These are the three situations providers, payers and health systems bring to us most often, and what we put against each.

01

Clinical systems must stay available while everything else changes

SOC
The problem

Patient administration, imaging, pathology and prescribing run continuously and are relied upon by people making time-critical decisions. Any control that introduces friction into a clinical workflow will be worked around, correctly, by clinicians doing their job.

How HexaShield solves it

Managed SOC / MDR on HexaSOC: telemetry from whatever you already run, AI agents triaging in seconds, HexaShield analysts owning containment 24/7, and decisions made with clinical priority understood rather than discovered. It sits above your existing stack; no rip-and-replace.

Managed SOC / MDRHexaSOC
The business outcome

Detection and response that respects how a hospital actually works. Containment decisions are made by people who know which system cannot be isolated during a list, and clinical teams keep working while the security work happens around them.

02

The connected estate extends well past the devices IT manages

OT
The problem

Infusion pumps, imaging modalities, theatre equipment and building systems are all networked, frequently supported by the manufacturer under terms that limit what may be installed on them, and rarely represented completely in the asset register.

How HexaShield solves it

Operational Technology on HexaOT, passive and safe for continuous operation, giving visibility across the connected clinical and facilities estate and feeding the same SOC as the IT environment, so one team sees both sides of the same incident.

Operational TechnologyHexaOT
The business outcome

An asset picture that includes the equipment nobody could previously account for, without touching a device the manufacturer supports. Risk conversations with clinical engineering start from a shared, current view.

03

Assurance obligations arrive faster than the team can evidence them

GRC
The problem

Toolkit submissions, supplier assurance, information governance and board reporting all draw on the same small team and the same underlying evidence, collected repeatedly by hand for each audience and each deadline.

How HexaShield solves it

Governance, Risk and Compliance on HexaComply as a managed service: requirements, controls, evidence and audit room in one portal, third-party risk management built in, and a compliance specialist included in every engagement.

Governance, Risk & ComplianceHexaComply
The business outcome

One evidence base serving the toolkit submission, the supplier assurance pack and the board report. Information governance stops competing with operational security for the same handful of people.

The frameworks your assurance has to answer to

NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit for UK providers and suppliers · HIPAA for US covered entities and business associates · UK GDPR and equivalent data protection duties · medical device security expectations from manufacturers and regulators · ISO 27001 where commissioners or partners require it.

We map the ones that apply to your jurisdiction, flag, licence or trade during onboarding rather than assuming them here. Compliance frameworks and regulatory requirements change over time; the specific frameworks in scope, and their current requirements, are confirmed and verified with your counsel during onboarding.

Threat landscape

What actually goes wrong in Healthcare

Ransomware causing care diversion

Attacks on providers have repeatedly forced ambulance diversion and cancelled procedures. The impact is clinical before it is financial.

Unmanaged medical devices

Infusion pumps, imaging systems and monitors run vendor-locked software, cannot take an agent, and are frequently invisible to IT.

Legacy clinical applications

Systems that cannot be upgraded without revalidation persist for years, often with old operating systems underneath.

Broad clinical access by design

Care requires fast, wide access to records; that same design makes lateral movement and insider misuse easier.

Supplier and managed-service compromise

Pathology, imaging, transcription and patient-administration suppliers hold significant data and connectivity.

Sensitive data at scale

Health records are among the most valuable and most regulated categories of personal data.

One connected picture

Clinical technology and corporate IT, in one place

Connected clinical technology cannot be taken offline, often cannot be patched, and rarely appears in the asset inventory the security team works from. HexaCore brings it into the same monitored estate as everything else, passively, without interrupting care.

Discovery is passive because a scan can put a certified device into a state its manufacturer never tested. Visibility should never be the thing that causes the incident.

Obligations

The regulatory picture

The frameworks and regimes that shape security programmes in this sector. HexaComply maps one control set across all of them.

HIPAA Security Rule

Administrative, physical and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information in the US.

HITECH Act

Breach notification and enforcement provisions layered onto HIPAA.

NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit

Annual assessment for organisations handling NHS patient data in England.

NIS2

Healthcare providers are in scope as an essential sector in the EU.

IEC 80001

Risk management for IT networks incorporating medical devices.

FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance

Cybersecurity expectations for medical devices submitted for US market authorisation.

The approach

How HexaShield covers it

  1. 1See the devices nobody can install software on

    HexaOT discovers and monitors connected medical and building technology passively, which is the only safe approach on clinical networks.

  2. 2Detection that respects clinical workflow

    Investigation is automated so that clinical staff are not asked to triage security alerts, and containment options are chosen with care delivery in mind.

  3. 3Identity-focused monitoring

    Where access must be broad, detection has to be behavioural. HexaSOC watches for misuse patterns rather than relying on restriction alone.

  4. 4Supplier exposure monitored continuously

    HexaInt tracks credential leakage and exposure across your clinical and administrative suppliers.

  5. 5Evidence for HIPAA, DSPT and NIS2 at once

    HexaComply maps one control set across regimes, with evidence generated by operating rather than assembled annually.

One accountable partner

Integrated capabilities and proprietary platforms under one operating model, so there is no gap between the team that detects something and the team that answers for it.

No rip-and-replace

We sit above the stack you already run and take telemetry from any source. Nothing here depends on you replacing tooling you have already bought and trained people on.

Transparency by default

Whatever you buy feeds HexaView, the same truth our analysts see, at the depth each audience needs, exported on demand for leadership, auditors and insurers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do you secure medical devices that cannot run security software?
By monitoring the network rather than the device. HexaOT identifies connected medical technology, its firmware and its communication patterns from observed traffic, so devices that can never take an agent are still inventoried, still monitored for anomalous behaviour, and still counted in the risk picture.
Will this interfere with clinical systems?
No. Discovery is passive and introduces no probing traffic, which is the specific concern on networks carrying patient monitoring and imaging. Response actions in clinical environments are guard-railed and approval-gated so that containment decisions are made with care delivery in view.
Does HexaShield help with HIPAA compliance?
Yes. The HIPAA Security Rule requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards and, importantly, evidence that they operate. HexaComply maps your implemented controls to the Security Rule and keeps the supporting evidence current, drawing on detection coverage, asset inventory and vulnerability management from the rest of the platform.
What about the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit?
The DSPT is an annual self-assessment for organisations handling NHS patient data in England. Because HexaComply maps one control set to many frameworks, DSPT evidence is drawn from the same live control operation that supports ISO/IEC 27001 or NIS2 rather than being prepared as a separate exercise.
