Independent third-party penetration testing, Cyber Essentials Plus, and DSTP compliance validate our security. This ensures data remains secure, compliant, and reliably protected for NHS clinical and operational use.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- We guarantee a 99.5% service availability monthly, excluding scheduled maintenance. Scheduled maintenance windows are communicated to clients at least 72 hours in advance.
- Approach to resilience
-
Remcare is designed for robust resilience through a multi-layered approach on AWS:
Architectural Resilience: The platform is deployed across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) within the AWS London region. This ensures automatic failover for critical components, including application servers and databases, maintaining service continuity even in the event of a full data centre outage.
Datacentre Resilience: AWS infrastructure provides redundant power, networking, and cooling, meeting the highest standards of physical resilience. Specific details on AWS datacentre controls are available on request.
Operational Resilience: Remcare leverages auto-scaling to handle variable workloads, continuous backups with point-in-time recovery, and a documented disaster recovery plan enabling rapid restoration of the full environment within minutes.
This multi-layered design ensures high availability, operational continuity, and protection of NHS data and services. - Outage reporting
-
Remcare delivers transparent and proactive outage reporting to ensure clients are fully informed. Our approach includes:
Email Alerts: Immediate notifications are sent to designated client contacts as soon as a confirmed service issue occurs. Alerts include details of the outage, impact, and ongoing updates until full service restoration.
Post-Incident Reporting: Following resolution, a comprehensive report is provided, detailing the cause, resolution steps, and any mitigation actions to prevent recurrence.
This communication protocol ensures stakeholders have timely, actionable information for internal coordination and planning.

- User authentication
-
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Username or password
- Other
- Other user authentication
- Remcare enforces strong authentication across every user journey, following a role-based model that ensures the right access for the right people. Patients authenticate using a secure, time-limited token link delivered to their registered email or phone. This ensures identity is verified using a trusted channel before they can complete tasks, for example confirming symptoms or reviewing follow-up instructions. Healthcare professionals log in with a unique work email and strong password tied to their clinical role. Administrative and super-users require mandatory two-factor authentication using one-time codes. This tiered approach protects sensitive health data while keeping digital care accessible and safe.
- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
- Remcare restricts access to management interfaces and support channels using role-based controls and strict authentication. Only authorised administrative and support personnel can access management consoles, with permissions assigned according to job function and least-privilege principles. All users authenticate via unique usernames and strong passwords, with super-users (privileged actions, such as modifying system configurations) require to complete mandatory two-factor authentication. Access to patient details and clinical data is restricted to the appropriate clinical team or local administrative roles. All activity is logged and monitored, ensuring sensitive administrative functions and health information remain accessible only to authorised personnel, maintaining security and compliance.

- Configuration and change management approach
-
Remcare follows a structured, security-focused approach to configuration and change management, ensuring service integrity, traceability and security.
All service components are defined as Infrastructure as Code using AWS CloudFormation and Terraform, with every version tracked in Git, creating a complete, immutable audit trail throughout their lifecycle.
Proposed changes are logged in our ticketing system, undergo peer-reviewed code checks, automated vulnerability scanning in the continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline, and review against the OWASP Top Ten standards. High-risk changes require formal approval.
This ensures all modifications are controlled, tested, and security-approved, protecting healthcare provider data and maintaining operational continuity. - Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
-
Remcare’s vulnerability management is a continuous, proactive process. Threats are assessed using an AWS dashboard, configured with thresholds that automatically alert key authorised personnel if breached, alongside penetration testing and monitoring of trusted sources, including NCSC alerts and common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) databases.
Our tiered patching policy ensures critical vulnerabilities are addressed within 48 hours and high-risk vulnerabilities within two weeks. All patches are tested in a staging environment before production deployment.
By combining automated alerts, expert review, and continuous threat intelligence, Remcare keeps its platform secure, resilient, and compliant, safeguarding healthcare provider data and maintaining service integrity. - Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- Remcare uses AWS native security tooling to actively detect and respond to potential compromises. Amazon GuardDuty continuously analyses behaviour patterns to identify threats, for example detecting unusual API calls suggesting credential misuse. Alerts flow into AWS Security Hub for central visibility and automatic escalation. When a potential compromise is identified, the incident response protocol triggers immediately. The on-call security engineer is paged to contain the threat, such as disabling suspicious IAM access and isolating affected resources. High-severity alerts are acknowledged within 15 minutes, with swift containment to protect sensitive health data and maintain service availability in line with NHS expectations.
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
- We operate a formal Information Security Incident Management Plan with pre-defined workflows for common events such as data breaches, malware infections, and denial-of-service attacks. Each event type has assigned severity levels that define investigation and containment timelines. Users report incidents 24/7 through a dedicated helpdesk queue or confidential whistleblowing process. For example, if abnormal access to patient records is spotted, the ticket is escalated to our incident response team for immediate triage. After resolution, we provide detailed incident reports to customers and regulatory bodies where required. Reports include impact, root cause, corrective actions and lessons learned to strengthen future controls.
