Is your hospice’s Microsoft 365 setup secure enough?
Is your hospice’s Microsoft 365 setup secure enough?
Hospices face growing cybersecurity risks, often with limited internal IT capacity. Our services are designed to support your team with additional insight, helping you stay secure without adding pressure.
To do this, we’ve developed a two-part security review service tailored specifically for hospices.
Why two parts? Because securing Microsoft 365 isn’t just about getting the setup right, it’s also about keeping it right over time:
- Part one focuses on your current configuration: identifying risks, offering practical fixes, and showing how your setup compares (confidentially) to others in the sector, as well as how we can help bring you up to standard.
- Part two helps you stay secure going forward: monitoring for changes, spotting issues early, and guiding you back to best practice when needed.
Together, they give you clarity on where you stand today and confidence in your security tomorrow.
Part one: Understand your setup, strengthen it and see how you compare
Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue, it’s a patient safety issue. A breach or misconfiguration can disrupt care, expose sensitive data, and damage trust which is why this first step matters.
Microsoft 365 is a powerful platform, but with thousands of settings and frequent updates, it’s easy for misconfigurations to go unnoticed. That’s where we begin.
We take a close look at your current setup to identify vulnerabilities and provide clear, actionable guidance. You’ll also see how your configuration compares anonymously to other hospices, giving you a sector-specific view of where you’re strong and where there’s room to improve.
From there, we help you build a strategic roadmap to bring your setup in line with best practice, strengthening your security and reducing risk.
Part two: Stay secure with smart monitoring and fast recovery
Even with a well-configured setup, things change, sometimes without warning. A setting might be altered by mistake, or a threat might slip through unnoticed. That’s why ongoing monitoring matters.
We’ll continuously benchmark your setup against our best practice hospice model (a reference configuration developed specifically for the sector), which helps us spot any unexpected changes and guide you on how best to remediate them, keeping your environment aligned with best practice over time.
It’s a simple way to stay in control without adding pressure to your internal team.
Join the other hospices who partner with Trident
If you’re leading IT in a hospice and want to feel confident that your Microsoft 365 setup is secure, resilient, and aligned with best practice, this service is for you.
You’ll come away with a clear understanding of where you stand, how you compare to others in the sector, and what practical steps will make the biggest difference.
We’ll guide you through the process, share insights that matter, and help you take action that protects your patients, your data, and your reputation.
