Clinical Resilience & CAF Exposure Mapping
Understand how real attackers would impact your NHS Trust before they do.

Seeing Your Trust Through an Attacker’s Eyes
The shift from DSPT to CAF has raised expectations for NHS cyber security teams. Many Trusts can demonstrate compliance, yet still lack visibility into how a real-world attack would unfold across clinical systems, cloud platforms, and digital supply chains.
The Clinical Resilience and CAF Exposure Mapping Assessment is a complimentary assessment that will provide you with a clear, evidence-based view of your true operational risk. Not just what policies say, but what would actually happen during an incident.
In 90 minutes, we help you identify where attackers could move, where controls would fail, and where patient safety could be impacted.

How it works
This is a focused, practitioner-led diagnostic that maps real attack behaviours onto your clinical and operational environment, giving you clarity, prioritisation, and evidence for decision-making.
Phase 1: 90-Minute Operational Threat Workshop
A structured session with your security and clinical technology stakeholders.

Why Complimentary?
Because the strongest partnerships start with trust.
This model lets you experience how we work, the value we add, and the clarity we bring, with no commitment required. If deeper support becomes useful later, we can explore it together. If not, you’ll still have gained something meaningful.
Validate Your True Resilience
If you suspect your current visibility doesn’t reflect how your Trust would actually be compromised, now is the time to test that assumption.
