The Goal
The hospital aimed to protect patient data by:

• Training staff to recognize phishing emails and malicious attachments.

• Building awareness of HIPAA/GDPR requirements for data handling.

• Reducing human errors leading to data breaches.

Problem
Healthcare workers, especially nurses and admin staff, often fell for phishing emails disguised as patient records or HR updates. Data breaches risked patient trust and regulatory fines.

Solution
Solurius SAT provided:

• Healthcare-specific phishing simulations (fake lab reports, appointment requests).

• Microlearning modules on secure data handling.

• Automated reminders for awareness training.

Implementation
Rollout began with high-risk departments (nursing, HR, IT), then expanded hospital-wide. Training was designed for quick completion during busy shifts.

Evolution

• Role-based awareness campaigns kept staff engaged.

• Automated reporting highlighted repeat offenders needing extra training.

• Continuous updates reflected the latest healthcare cyber threats.

Results

• 70% improvement in phishing detection among staff.

• 50% drop in accidental patient data disclosures.

• Full compliance with HIPAA/GDPR security awareness mandates.

Recommendation
“With Solurius SAT, cybersecurity awareness became part of our patient safety culture.”
