A small neighbourhood medical clinic with five staff was doing its best to keep operations smooth — patients cared for, appointments on time, and medical records updated. Like many small practices, cybersecurity was never top of mind. But with the Health Information Bill (HIB) expected to take effect in 2026, the clinic realised that data protection wasn’t just about good practice anymore — it would soon be the law.
The clinic’s owner knew they had to act, but didn’t know where to start. The team wasn’t technical, and the HIB documents felt written for large hospitals with dedicated IT departments — not for small, independent clinics juggling everything from patient care to billing.

The Challenge
The clinic’s biggest hurdle wasn’t unwillingness — it was uncertainty.
They had a Clinical Management System (CMS) running well, but when it came to cybersecurity or compliance frameworks, the language and requirements were overwhelming.
“How are small clinics supposed to navigate this?” was the question on everyone’s mind. Between managing patient queues and paperwork, there was little time (or technical skill) to figure out what “compliance readiness” even meant.

“How are small clinics supposed to navigate this?” was the question on everyone’s mind. Between managing patient queues and paperwork, there was little time (or technical skill) to figure out what “compliance readiness” even meant.
The Turning Point
During a medical association briefing, the clinic team came across StrongKeep — a cybersecurity platform built specifically for smaller businesses and clinics.
What stood out wasn’t just the technology, but the approach: StrongKeep’s team was already engaging regulators and associations like MOH and SMA to make HIB simpler to understand and adopt. It was clear they weren’t just selling software — they were helping clinics prepare for the future.
The Protection Plan, starting at just $39 per month with their early bird discount, offered an immediate way to secure their devices and data without needing a full-time IT team. Even better, their plan included a locked-in discount on StrongKeep’s Compliance Plan, for when the regulations are imposed and the clinic is ready to comply.

The Solution in Action
The clinic signed up for the Protection Plan, and within hours, their devices were protected — no downtime, no disruption to their CMS.
There were no complicated setups or IT jargon. Everything worked quietly in the background, from malware protection to email security checks.
For the first time, the clinic team felt ahead of the curve instead of waiting until 2026 to scramble.
Cybersecurity wasn’t a mystery anymore — it was a manageable part of their daily operations.

The Outcome
Today, the clinic can confidently reassure both patients and staff that their data is protected — and that they’re well on track for full HIB compliance.
Most importantly, they no longer feel alone in navigating cybersecurity. With StrongKeep guiding them through protection, detection, and compliance, the clinic knows they’re not just safe today — they’re future-proof.
