Protas

As a growing organisation in the healthcare sector, Protas asked us to help establish and embed strong, recognised, and robust information security practices into their operations and tech infrastructure from the outset. 

Their requirements were driven by:

1. An acute awareness of the importance of strong data security for any modern business.

2. Their close working relationships with national healthcare organisations and major pharmaceuticals (all require partners to adhere to large enterprise security regulations). 

Our first mission was to help Protas demonstrate that their security defence is managed in line with strict standards, by becoming Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited. 

We then implemented Protas’ enterprise-grade security with risk detection and mitigation measures – via our 24/7 Managed Threat Detection and Response Service (MTDR).

We helped Protas to get accredited by embedding strict security policies through tech and SaaS, including; our patching service which ensures all software on user devices is patched to the latest available versions, within 14 days of an update release to stay protected against attackers. 

As for enterprise-grade security?

After onboarding Protas into our Security Operations Centre, we used a third-party to run a malware detection audit on our 24/7 MTDR Service. The auditor tested malware detection capabilities by releasing a special ‘dummy’ file at an unspecified time. Our security analysts spotted the file, raised an alert, investigated the cause, and informed Protas of the event within 15 minutes of its release. It’s safe to say we passed that audit with flying colours! 

Alongside this, our Dark Web Monitoring service regularly searches the Dark Web for any sensitive client information. If information is found, we notify Protas and take protective measures for at-risk accounts. It’s an extra layer of security which ensures we’re aware of leaks and can take countermeasures, in the highly-unlikely event of a successful data breach.

Good security doesn’t lock you down – it frees your people and organisation up to ‘get stuff done’ safely. 

Protas, now fortified by boxxe’s security measures, achieved Cyber Essentials Plus compliance in just 4 months, exceeding industry norms. Earning ISO27001 certification showcased their dedication to top-tier 

security. With rapid threat detection and Dark Web monitoring, Protas is primed for secure growth and trusted healthcare collaborations.
