Cyber security & web performance for UK dental and medical practices
Cyber security for UK dental practices and medical clinics that protects patient data, keeps you on the right side of GDPR, and makes sure patients and referring clinicians can actually find you.
Practices carry more risk — and get less technical support.
Most dental and medical practices are served by generic web agencies that don't understand health data, GDPR or how patients now search. That gap is exactly where the risk — and the missed enquiries — sit.
OkamiSec combines web engineering and security expertise with direct operational experience in the UK dental sector.
Patient data is a real target
Practice websites may process enquiries, appointment requests, contact details and sometimes health-related information. Weak forms, exposed integrations and poor access controls can create both security and data-protection risk.
GDPR isn't optional for you
As a healthcare provider you handle special-category data, so the bar is higher. "Our web guy set it up" is not a defence the ICO accepts.
Referrals happen online now
Patients and referring clinicians search — and increasingly ask AI — for who to trust. If your practice can't be found or verified, the referral goes elsewhere.
