Small practice. Enterprise-grade data.
GP surgeries and medical practices hold thousands of Special Category patient records, NHS login credentials, and electronic prescription data — making them high-value targets for ransomware and credential theft, even with fewer than 20 staff.
Patient Data at Scale
A typical practice holds Special Category health data on 6,000–10,000 registered patients. A single breach triggers ICO notification, CQC scrutiny, and patient harm.
NHS Network Exposure
Connections to Spine, NHS Mail, EPS, and SystmOne or EMIS mean a compromised practice can affect the wider NHS infrastructure you depend on.
Prescription Fraud
Electronic Prescription Service credentials are targets for criminal groups. Compromised EPS access can be used to generate fraudulent controlled drug prescriptions.
Regulatory Obligations
DSPT completion, CQC safe domain compliance, GDPR accountability, and Cyber Essentials — GP surgeries face overlapping regulatory cyber security requirements.
NHS Digital cyber security monitoring
built for primary care.
SOC in a Box provides managed cyber security for GP surgeries and medical practices across the UK. A single appliance connects to your practice network and gives our 24/7 analyst team visibility of every device, every connection, and every anomaly — from clinical workstations to the practice Wi-Fi.
DLP policies are pre-configured for healthcare data. Cyber Essentials certification is included in your subscription. Monthly Confidence Score reports provide the DSPT, CQC, and ICO evidence your compliance obligations require.

DSPT evidence. CQC confidence.
Every month, automatically.
The Data Security and Protection Toolkit requires GP practices to demonstrate that security controls are in place and operating effectively. SOC in a Box generates the evidence your practice needs — endpoint protection status, access control audit trails, incident response logs, and staff training completion — in a single monthly Confidence Score report.
When CQC inspectors ask how you protect patient data, or when your ICB requests assurance on your security posture, you have a documented, analyst-verified answer ready.
Regulatory Coverage
- Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT)
- CQC Safe domain — data security questions
- UK GDPR — accountability and breach notification
- Cyber Essentials — certification included
- ICO — 72-hour breach notification support
- NHS England — national security standards
Built for small practices.
Not scaled down from enterprise.
Most healthcare cyber security solutions are designed for NHS trusts with hundreds of endpoints and dedicated IT teams. SOC in a Box is purpose-built for practices with 20–40 devices and no in-house security staff.
One Appliance
A single device connects to your practice network. No software agents on clinical workstations. No disruption to SystmOne, EMIS, or Vision.
Named Analyst
Your practice is assigned a named security analyst who knows your systems, your network, and your risk profile. Not a ticket queue — a person.
Five-Day Deployment
From scoping call to live 24/7 monitoring in five working days. Next-day appliance delivery. Optional on-site concierge setup available.
