What is best practice when it comes to Third-party Access support?

NHS IT and clinical infrastructure has grown and evolved over time to meet growing demand, often with limited resources. Many NHS systems are based on legacy technology with complex dependencies, all of which now needs specialist support and maintenance.  Allowing third party access to critical NHS systems is a fact of life, but it comes with significant risk. A recent study by the Ponemon Institute reveals that 47% of organisations have experienced a data breach or cyberattack in the last 12 months involving third-party access to their network.  

However, the latest security tools can enable NHS Trusts to provide the third-party access required to ensure critical systems keep working, while ensuring that vendors have only the privileges required for the job in hand.  As a significant bonus, these tools also significantly reduce the management burden on the IT department, saving both time and resources.
