Internet Infrastructure Monitoring for UK Healthcare Organisations
Free real-time internet monitoring for NHS trusts and UK healthcare providers: DNS health, email security, TLS certificates, and connectivity monitoring. Aligned with DSPT requirements.
What VP Pulse Monitors
DSPT Alignment
The Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) requires NHS organisations to demonstrate controls across data security. Network monitoring supports evidence for DSPT standards including access control and audit logging.
Email Security for Healthcare
NHS email (nhs.net) is subject to strict security controls, but connected organisations and third-party providers are not always as well protected. VP Pulse monitors email authentication across the healthcare ecosystem.
Ransomware Risk Reduction
UK healthcare has been repeatedly targeted by ransomware, most notably the WannaCry attack affecting NHS trusts in 2017. Strong TLS, DNSSEC, and email authentication reduce the attack surface for ransomware delivery vectors.
UK healthcare organisations face a uniquely challenging cybersecurity environment: critical systems that cannot be taken offline for patching, patient data with strict GDPR protection requirements, and supply chains involving hundreds of connected third parties. Network monitoring is a fundamental control in this environment.
