Cybersecurity training for clinics and healthcare providers
Clinics hold health data, a special category under the law, and a system outage stops patient care. ShieldWise uses short courses to teach medical staff to spot phishing, protect patient data and respond to incidents correctly.
- Short courses that fit between shifts
- Patient data as a special category
- Ransomware and phishing threats
- Clean desk and screen locking at reception

Why clinics are exposed
In a clinic many people share computers, reception screens face patients and time is always short. Ransomware that encrypts records stops a clinic outright.
What staff learn
Topics selected for medical staff:
- Spotting phishing and malicious attachments
- Handling and sharing health data
- Clean desk and screen locking
- The risks of sharing patient information on WhatsApp and by phone
- Reporting an incident immediately
A format that fits a clinic
Courses take 5-10 minutes and open on any device, so doctors and nurses complete them between shifts. Managers see who finished, and the history is kept automatically for audits.
