The challenge

Why the hospital needed an audit

Hospitals depend on their systems being available around the clock. A ransomware attack or a leaked staff password can stop admissions, billing and reporting.

DRL Hospital wanted to know how its internet-facing systems would stand up to a real attacker, and whether it could recover quickly if something went wrong.

Scope

What we audited

Every system below was tested with the hospital’s written consent and within agreed testing windows.

Hospital website

Public pages, forms and plugins checked for known and common vulnerabilities.

Staff login portal

Password policy, two-factor login, session handling and account lockout.

Internet-facing servers

Exposed services, open ports, patch levels and remote access settings.

Backups and recovery

Backup frequency, storage location and a review of the recovery process.

Approach

How the audit was carried out

A clear, safe process that never put live hospital services at risk.
