Incident Response for Healthcare & Life Sciences (UK & Europe)
When a cyber incident occurs, speed and precision matter. But in healthcare and life sciences, the stakes are even higher:
-
Patient safety can be impacted
-
Operational disruption escalates quickly
-
Regulatory exposure increases with every delay
-
Executive accountability is now a reality under modern cyber frameworks
At The AbedGraham Group, we support healthcare and life science organisations with specialist Incident Response services built for regulated, safety-critical environments.
Our work supports organisations across:
-
Digital health and health IT
-
Medical device manufacturers and software manufacturers
-
Life sciences, biotech and pharmaceutical organisations
-
Healthcare infrastructure and cloud providers
-
Suppliers supporting hospitals, laboratories and research environments
Ransomware and cyber disruption: the new normal
Healthcare remains one of the most targeted sectors for ransomware and extortion-driven attacks. The impact is rarely limited to IT downtime, it can threaten clinical operations, customer trust, and contractual obligations.
Our incident response approach is designed to help you:
-
Contain threats rapidly
-
Protect critical systems and sensitive data
-
Recover safely with minimal disruption
-
Preserve evidence for investigation and legal purposes
-
Provide clear executive-level decision support throughout the crisis
What we deliver during an incident
Rapid Incident Triage & Containment
We support immediate actions such as:
-
Scoping the incident and identifying affected systems
-
Containment planning to limit spread
-
Prioritising safety-critical services and business continuity
-
Practical risk-led decision support under pressure
Executive & Board-Level Advisory
A cyber incident becomes an executive crisis within hours.
We provide:
-
Clear leadership reporting and “what this means” interpretation
-
Strategic options for containment and recovery
-
Risk-based recommendations aligned to business priorities
-
Communications guidance for stakeholders, customers and partners
Your leadership team must stay in control of the situation - not be led by it.
Regulatory and Contractual Readiness
Many organisations underestimate the regulatory impact of an incident until it is too late.
We help you align incident response actions to:
-
Expected resilience and reporting obligations in UK/EU environments
-
NIS2-aligned governance and risk management expectations
-
Customer contracts, supplier commitments and due diligence requirements
Post-Incident Remediation & Lessons Learned
Recovery is not the end of the process, it is the start of resilience improvement.
We support:
-
Root cause analysis and remediation planning
-
Security improvement roadmaps
-
Board-ready incident reporting
-
ISO-aligned control uplift to reduce recurrence risk
Incident Response readiness (before you need it)
The organisations that recover fastest are the ones who prepare before an incident occurs.
We support incident response preparedness through:
-
Incident Response Plans (IRP)
-
Tabletop exercises for executive teams
-
Scenario-based testing (ransomware, insider threat, supplier compromise)
-
Clear escalation models and decision pathways
-
Integration with SOC/SIEM monitoring (where relevant)
