Healthcare Services

Specialist compliance services for healthcare organisations

Healthcare organisations process some of the most sensitive personal data in existence. Patient records, clinical trial data, genetic information and health outcomes all fall within GDPR’s special categories of data, attracting the highest levels of regulatory scrutiny and requiring the most robust compliance measures. 

Fort Privacy brings extensive hands-on experience working with healthcare providers, hospitals, GP clinics, clinical research organisations, population health and healthcare technology companies.

We understand the unique challenges that healthcare organisations face — from managing complex data sharing arrangements between clinicians, hospitals, researchers and public health bodies, to navigating the data protection requirements of clinical trials, health informatics systems and patient-facing digital services. Our practical, multidisciplinary approach ensures that compliance supports rather than hinders the delivery of patient care and medical research.

Our Healthcare Services include:

  • Outsourced DPO and AI Officer services - for healthcare providers and research organisations

  • Governance programmes - for corporate organisations with intra group data processing

  • Pharmacy Management systems and compliance for pharmacy groups

  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for clinical trials, health informatics and patient-facing systems

  • Data sharing agreements for multi-party healthcare data arrangements (hospitals, GPs, researchers, HSE)

  • Information governance frameworks and policies for healthcare settings

  • HIPAA compliance support for organisations handling US-origin protected health information (PHI)

  • Special category data processing guidance and legal basis analysis

  • AI governance for healthcare AI applications including clinical decision support and diagnostic tools

  • Staff training tailored to clinical and administrative healthcare teams
