Did You Know?
The OAIC reported healthcare as the top sector for data breaches in Australia for 15 consecutive reporting periods.
A single breach can cost a practice $50,000+ in fines, legal fees, and lost patient trust — not to mention mandatory notification obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

The Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight is the gold standard for cyber resilience. SkyComm implements all eight strategies across your practice — tailored for healthcare environments where patient data protection is paramount.
Application Control
Prevent unauthorised software from executing on clinical workstations — blocking ransomware, malware, and unapproved applications from ever running.
Patch Applications
Keep Best Practice, Medical Director, browsers, Java, and all third-party applications patched within 48 hours of security updates being released.
Configure Microsoft Office Macros
Block macros from the internet and only allow vetted macros — a critical defence against phishing payloads targeting practice staff.
User Application Hardening
Disable Flash, ads, and Java in browsers. Harden Office applications to reduce the attack surface on every workstation in your clinic.
Restrict Admin Privileges
Limit admin access to IT staff only. Receptionists, nurses, and doctors use standard accounts — dramatically reducing the blast radius of any compromise.
Patch Operating Systems
Windows, macOS, and server operating systems patched within 48 hours. Unsupported OS versions replaced before they become a liability.
Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA on everything — email, clinical software, VPN, remote desktop, PRODA, HPOS, and cloud services. The single most effective control against credential theft.
Regular Backups
Daily encrypted backups of clinical data, tested monthly, stored offsite and offline. Ransomware-proof recovery that meets RACGP and Privacy Act requirements.
Beyond the Essential Eight
We go further with ransomware-specific protections, incident response planning, data encryption at rest and in transit, and ongoing staff awareness training. Our approach covers Australian Privacy Act obligations, RACGP CISS guidelines, and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme — so your practice stays compliant and your patients' trust stays intact.
SkyComm transformed our clinic's IT. We went from constant downtime and security worries to a fully managed, compliant setup. Their team understands medical software and responds faster than any IT provider we've used. Highly recommend for any practice in Perth.
