Azure for healthcare

We design, build and run Microsoft Azure for healthcare providers: a secure, resilient platform for sensitive patient data and connected clinical systems, delivered and operated by one accountable Veratas team.

Industry context

Healthcare cloud has to be secure, resilient and clinically connected at once

A healthcare estate carries patient safety and confidentiality obligations that shape every design decision.

Healthcare organisations hold some of the most sensitive data there is. Patient records, diagnostic results and care histories demand strict confidentiality, a clear audit trail of access, and protection that holds up against a real and active threat landscape. A breach is not only a regulatory failure; it erodes the trust that care depends on.

Resilience matters just as much. Clinical systems are used around the clock, and an outage is not an inconvenience but a risk to care. The platform has to be designed for availability, with recovery objectives that reflect clinical reality and backups that are tested, isolated and provably restorable rather than simply configured.

Healthcare also runs on a wide mix of systems: electronic patient records, departmental and diagnostic applications, and devices that produce a constant stream of data. These rarely speak the same language. A healthcare Azure estate has to integrate them safely, often through standards such as HL7 and FHIR, so clinicians see a coherent picture. Veratas delivers this as one accountable team, accredited to ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and CMMI Level 3.

Where it helps

What Azure changes for a healthcare provider

The areas where a secure, well run Azure platform supports safe and connected care.

Protection for sensitive data

We secure patient data with encryption in transit and at rest, Microsoft Entra ID conditional access and role based access control, and detailed access logging, so confidentiality is enforced and every access to a record is accountable.

Resilience for clinical systems

We design for high availability across availability zones, set recovery objectives that match clinical need, and test failover, so systems used in patient care stay dependable when something fails.

Integration of clinical systems

We connect electronic patient records, departmental applications and diagnostic systems using HL7 and FHIR interfaces on Azure integration services, so clinical information flows safely instead of being stranded in silos.

Tested, isolated backup

We implement Azure Backup with immutable, isolated copies and rehearse restores, so a ransomware attack or failure cannot quietly take patient data with it and recovery is a known, practised process.

Threat monitoring and response

We use Microsoft Defender for Cloud and centralised logging to watch the estate continuously, surface threats early and give security teams the evidence they need to act before harm reaches patients.

How we deliver

How Veratas delivers Azure for healthcare

A measured route to a secure, resilient and connected Azure platform for care.

01

Assess risk and estate

We review clinical systems, data flows, security obligations and resilience needs, and agree the security baseline and recovery objectives before any build starts.

02

Build a secure landing zone

We deploy an Azure landing zone with policy guardrails, network segmentation, Entra ID identity and logging, so every clinical workload inherits a consistent security baseline.

03

Migrate and integrate

We move workloads in planned waves and connect clinical systems through HL7 and FHIR interfaces, protecting live services with tested rollback at each step.

04

Operate and assure

We run the estate as a managed service: threat monitoring, patching, backup testing and resilience reviews that keep the platform safe and dependable.

We apply layered controls: encryption in transit and at rest, Microsoft Entra ID conditional access, role based access control and full access logging. Microsoft Defender for Cloud monitors the estate continuously. Our delivery is accredited to ISO 27001, so security is governed to an independently audited standard.
Yes. We connect electronic patient records, departmental applications and diagnostic systems using HL7 and FHIR interfaces on Azure integration services. The aim is a coherent flow of clinical information to clinicians, with integrations built and tested so data moves safely between systems.
We design for high availability across Azure availability zones, set recovery time and recovery point objectives that match clinical need, and test failover so it works under real conditions. Backups are immutable and isolated, and we rehearse restores so recovery is a practised, dependable process.
Yes. We operate the Azure estate as a managed service: threat monitoring, patching, backup testing and resilience reviews. One accountable team owns security, infrastructure and integration together, which removes the gaps that appear when separate suppliers each cover only one layer.
