In this episode, Ami Assigal is joined by Jeff Hawkes to unpack the realities of IT compliance and cyber risk in general practice.

With technology playing a critical role in healthcare, this episode focuses on three components of the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight, explaining what they mean in practice and why they matter for compliance, business continuity, and patient trust.

Ami and Jeff discuss:

• Why IT governance can’t be “set and forget” in general practice
• Common cyber and IT blind spots in healthcare businesses
• Practical considerations for practice owners and managers

As promised, further information about Cyber Security and Insurance can be found at https://www.dataprivacyinsurance.com.au/our-team/

Ami and the Practice Partners team recommend the expertise of Meena Wahi, Digital Insurance Specialist at Cyber Data Risk Managers (Data Privacy Insurance Australia), who works with healthcare practices to understand cyber exposure, data privacy risk, and insurance-based protection.

A must-listen for practice owners and managers looking to strengthen their IT and cyber foundations.
