Security in Healthcare & Biotechnology

We support hospitals, laboratories, research institutes, and biotech companies in securing their critical systems reliably and in full compliance – across care delivery, research, and digital infrastructure.

Hospitals, laboratories, research institutes, and biotech companies stand at the center of social and scientific infrastructure. Their work is vital – and increasingly under attack. Whether service outages, data breaches, or sabotage in research: threats are rising. At the same time, regulatory obligations are growing, particularly with the new NIS2 Implementation Act. We help organizations in the healthcare and biotech sector establish security systematically and sustainably – from hospitals to critical research facilities.

Challenges in the Healthcare & Biotech Sector

Rising cyber and hybrid threats

Attacks on hospitals, biobanks, research institutes, and health IT are continuously increasing – often with serious consequences.

Complex operational realities

Medical infrastructure, sensitive data, research labs, public-private ownership, regulated markets – many stakeholders, high complexity.

Criticality & dependence on digital infrastructure

Patient care, diagnostics, drug development, and vaccine production rely on continuous digital processes – their disruption is security-relevant.

Growing regulatory obligations

With NIS2UmsuCG and existing BSIG requirements, new demands apply to technical security, risk management, and reporting processes.

Confidentiality and research secrets

Biotech facilities must protect themselves not only against traditional attacks but also against industrial espionage and targeted disinformation.

Aus der Praxis

Our experience in healthcare & biotech

We advise university hospitals, pharmaceutical research companies, medical laboratories, public health providers, and biotech firms with the highest requirements for security, discretion, and stability. Typical areas of work include:

Securing critical hospital areas (ICU, IT control center, emergency department)

Security for biosafety level 3 and 4 laboratories

Site concepts for vaccine development and cell technology

KRITIS audit support and implementation of B3S requirements

Protection against economic espionage in research partnerships

Security that protects life

In the healthcare and biotech sector, security is not an abstract obligation – it is the foundation for care, research, and trust. Our concepts are guided by what is possible, but also by what is necessary – combining technical depth with regulatory clarity.

Ready for § 8a BSIG, NIS2, or an internal audit?

Whether university hospital, research company, or operator of laboratory infrastructure – we help you build structured security and demonstrate it professionally.
