The Challenge

The provider held sensitive patient data but had no formal cybersecurity framework. An internal audit revealed 47 unmitigated security gaps across identity, endpoint and email security. The board required SMB1001 Gold certification to meet new partner compliance requirements, with a hard deadline of 90 days.

The Solution

Oxana ran a rapid gap assessment against the SMB1001 framework, then delivered a prioritised remediation plan. We implemented multi factor authentication across all systems, deployed managed endpoint detection and response, hardened Microsoft 365 email security with DMARC enforcement, and built the evidence pack required for certification. The certification audit was passed on the first attempt with zero major non conformities.
