As Cegedim Rx achieves the Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) status once more, our Head of Cyber Security Mark Winstanley, shares how we go over and above to keep our business - and those of our customers - safe from online threats.
Yet again we’ve been awarded the Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) accreditation.
CE+ is a government backed and industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against online threats.
To gain this official stamp of security approval you undergo a rigorous assessment which tests both networks and hardware.
And it’s just one security accreditation of many more that we have earned.
The Cegedim Rx security team dedicates thousands of hours and countless investment to keep our networks and software safe. It’s around the clock as healthcare data is highly prized by hackers and their methods to access it continually evolve.
Some of the security accreditations we have are of course required due to the nature of our business. But many more that we’ve been awarded aren’t – but, for us - all are essential to keeping us and our customers safe.
We design our systems to give pharmacies a robust layer of protection.
Our team is always busy behind the scenes working hard to keep our software and networks secure. Allowing pharmacies to focus on what you do best – providing care for the communities they serve.
Our product development and services all comply to international cyber security standards – including ISO 27001 - allowing us to provide software solutions that our customers can rely on.
Alongside this, we provide continuous cyber security training to the Cegedim team - sharing best practice keeps us vigilant against phishing and other cyber-attacks.
Running a pharmacy business is stressful and demanding enough. Pharmacy teams need to rely on the tech suppliers they work with to carry the responsibility on their shoulders. To be at the top of their security game and to always be ahead of the hackers.
Cyber security is a marathon, not a sprint. Cyber criminals certainly won’t rest on their laurels, so neither does the Cegedim Rx team.
