Cybersecurity in Care Homes: Why Protection Can't Wait

Care homes are under attack. In 2023, almost half of UK care providers were hit by cybercriminals—through phishing emails, ransomware, and data breaches

It’s no longer 'if'—it’s 'when.' And when systems fail, it affects real lives: care delivery stalls, resources stretch thin, and residents are put at risk.


New CQC rules and public expectations now tie data security directly to your service rating and your reputation. A breach could cost more than fines—it could cost trust.


At Cranborne Technologies, we build cybersecurity solutions that work for care homes, not against them.


Why are care homes being targeted?

- Outdated IT

- Weak or no cyber defences

- Sensitive health and resident data


Our Care-Focused Cybersecurity Approach:

- Proactive threat detection and protection

- Upgraded, secure infrastructure

- Staff training to spot cyber risks early

- Disaster recovery plans that keep you running

- Seamless NHS/Digital record integration


Technology That Supports Care, Not Complicates It

We believe technology should lift pressure off your team, not add to it. Our solutions are designed to fit how you already work.
