Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's gp surgeries could expose patient records, prescriptions and referral letters, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why gp surgeries are targeted: GP practices hold full medical histories. Spoofed NHS emails and fake prescription links are used to phish staff and patients.
