Backup for medical practices: protected patient data and guaranteed GDPR compliance
Medical practices process special-category data under GDPR Art. 9 — with strict obligations and fines of up to 4% of turnover. We implement complete, encrypted and documented backup, ready for any data protection audit.
REAL RISKS
Why medical practices are priority targets
Special-category data under GDPR Art. 9
Patient records, diagnoses and treatment histories are special-category data with the highest level of protection. A breach means fines of up to 4% of global turnover.
Ransomware targets healthcare
Medical systems are attacked preferentially — attackers know a practice without access to its records pays quickly. Without immutable backup, you're vulnerable.
72 hours to notify the authority
GDPR Art. 33 requires notifying the authority within 72 hours of an incident. Without documentation prepared in advance, a fine is all but certain.
