Patient care can’t wait, neither can network security.

How clinics and hospital groups isolate patient data from guest and administrative traffic, without slowing down critical systems.

Patient care can't wait, neither can network security.
The challenge

Clinics, hospital groups and multi-practice healthcare providers run life-critical systems, patient record platforms and connected medical devices on the same network as staff Wi-Fi, visitor access and administrative traffic.

A single compromised guest connection or unmanaged device can put patient data at risk and threaten compliance with POPIA, while any bandwidth contention risks slowing systems relied on for patient care.

The solution

Cloud Group works closely with its extensive partner network of IT professionals and resellers to deploy iShield, a next-generation Smart Access Unified Threat Management Device, across clinics, hospital groups and multi-branch healthcare providers.

Strict patient data network isolation
Automated link failover
Prioritised bandwidth for critical systems
Malicious behaviour & proxy blocking
Secure visitor & staff captive portals
Centralised multi-branch management
The results

Patient data fully isolated from guest and administrative traffic, critical systems always prioritised, and every branch managed remotely from one dashboard.

Protected patient data

Network isolation keeps patient record systems and connected medical devices fully separated from guest and administrative traffic.

Uninterrupted critical systems

Traffic shaping guarantees bandwidth for patient record platforms and connected medical devices, regardless of guest network load.

Continuous uptime

Automated link failover protects against local outages, keeping care-critical systems online through any connectivity disruption.

Simplified POPIA compliance

Structured identity logging and audit trails give clinics clear visibility to support data-handling compliance requirements.

Safe visitor connectivity

Captive portals give patients and visitors secure Wi-Fi access with no path back into clinical or administrative systems.

Reduced IT overhead

Remote policy updates and centralised management across branches remove the need for costly on-site technical callouts.
