GP Clinic
Cyber Security Health Check
Healthcare is now the most targeted industry for cyber attacks. Patient data is worth more than credit cards on the dark web.
In about an hour, see exactly where you're exposed, turn your gaps into a prioritised action plan you can track, and get a professional report you can show your insurer, regulator, or clients — no IT knowledge needed.
Medical practices are being hit with ransomware every week.
The scenario is terrifyingly common: a GP practice arrives Monday morning to find every system locked. Patient records inaccessible. Appointments can't be booked. Prescriptions can't be issued. The ransom demand: pay $50,000 in Bitcoin or lose everything. Some practices pay and still lose their data. Others spend weeks rebuilding from scratch—if they can recover at all.
Your patient records are incredibly valuable to criminals. Medical records contain everything needed for identity theft and insurance fraud: Medicare numbers, dates of birth, addresses, medical histories. Unlike credit cards that can be cancelled, this information is permanent. A stolen medical record is worth 10-50 times more than a credit card number.
AHPRA, the Medical Board, and the Privacy Act have real consequences.
Protecting patient confidentiality isn't just an ethical duty — it's a registration requirement. AHPRA, the national health practitioner regulator, can impose conditions on, suspend, or cancel the registration of practitioners whose practices suffer preventable data breaches. The Privacy Act adds penalties up to $50 million for failing to protect health information, which counts as "sensitive information" needing higher protection. "The practice manager handles IT" is not a defence.
PRODA and Medicare portals are high-value targets.
Your PRODA credentials provide access to Medicare claiming, PBS prescriptions, and My Health Record. Compromised credentials mean fraudulent claims in your name, bulk prescriptions for controlled substances, and investigations that take months to resolve. Multi-factor authentication isn't optional anymore—and when did you last review who has access?
Prescription fraud starts with compromised practice systems.
Criminals target GP practices specifically to generate fraudulent prescriptions—particularly for opioids and other controlled substances. If your clinical software is compromised, you could find prescriptions issued in your name to patients you've never seen. The TGA and police will come knocking, and proving your innocence takes months.
This health check is built specifically for GP clinics.
Plain-English questions covering PRODA/Medicare portal security, clinical software protection (Best Practice, Medical Director, etc.), patient records handling, prescription security, My Health Record access controls, and staff awareness. No technical jargon—designed so any practice owner or manager can complete it and understand the results.

Your Assessment Includes a Personal AI Security Advisor
Two AI assistants are built into the tool — one to help you during the assessment, one to help you make sense of your results. Like having a security professional on call.
Not sure what a question is asking? Just ask.
Every question in the assessment has an AI helper built in. Tap it and ask anything — "What does this question actually mean?", "Can you give me an example?", "Why does this matter for my business?" — and you'll get a plain-English explanation instantly.
- ✓ Explains technical concepts in everyday language
- ✓ Gives real-world examples relevant to your industry
- ✓ Never suggests how to answer — just helps you understand
- ✓ No technical background required to complete the assessment
Available the moment you see your results.
Once your results are in, an AI security advisor can answer any question about what they mean — in plain English, like talking to a security professional. It can even draft a phased action plan from your specific gaps — what to fix first, next, and over time.
- ✓ "Explain my highest risk gap in simple terms"
- ✓ "Walk me through how to fix action #3"
- ✓ "Which gaps are easiest to fix myself?"
- ✓ Ask anything — your advisor knows your specific results
