Industry Expert Pick
Indian healthcare providers — hospitals, multi-specialty clinics, and diagnostic chains — handle extremely sensitive patient data. Data breaches in healthcare have severe consequences: patient harm, regulatory action under the DPDP Act, and reputational damage. Here's the essential IT stack.
Yes. Health data is classified as sensitive personal data under India's DPDP Act 2023. Healthcare providers must obtain explicit consent for collecting patient data, implement appropriate security safeguards, and report data breaches to the Data Protection Board. This makes endpoint security, backup, and access control essential compliance requirements.
A layered approach: 1) Endpoint security (Trend Micro) on all clinical workstations, 2) Immutable cloud backup (Druva) so patient data can be recovered even if encrypted, 3) Network segmentation to isolate clinical systems from general office networks, 4) Staff security awareness training.
