1. Our approach
Healthcare needs assurance that protects both patient data and continuity of care. Codec Networks works on four principles:
- Care-safe testing: plan every test around clinical operations.
- Assume ransomware: segment, back up and rehearse recovery.
- Know every device: inventory and protect medical IoT.
- Protect the patient record: access, consent and leakage controls end to end.
2. Mapping threats to services
The table maps the 18 threats identified in Document 4 of this set to the Codec Networks services that help mitigate them.
