Medical facilities like hospitals, laboratories, and GP surgeries handle vast amounts of sensitive patient data via email, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Unencrypted emails are vulnerable to interception, copying, and manipulation. To protect sensitive information, including patient records, lab results, and insurance documents, data security and compliance with strict data protection regulations are vital.

Combatting cyber threats: Phishing prevention
Phishing attacks present a serious risk to healthcare providers. Cybercriminals often exploit trust to access sensitive patient data through deceptive emails. According to the Centre for Internet Security (CIS), a single medical record can be worth up to €335 on the black market. Quadient RMail's Anti-Whaling feature offers an additional layer of protection by analysing email headers and routes, advising caution when necessary.
Enhancing patient workflows with electronic signatures
Eliminate cumbersome paperwork with RMail’s electronic signature feature. From admission forms to treatment contracts, patients can securely complete and sign documents from the comfort of their home or office, streamlining processes and enhancing security.
Secure transmission of large files
Sending large files, such as X-rays or lab results, via standard email can be challenging. Quadient RMail's LargeMail feature allows healthcare providers to transmit files up to 1GB securely and in full compliance with GDPR regulations.
