Novigi — an award-winning advisory and data services firm — are experts in data-driven transformation and trusted advisors to the aged care sector. They are now offering complimentary cybersecurity assessments to aged care providers, in response to the ever-growing need for action in this space.
Novigi Client Partner, Jason Malone believes that these assessments will be invaluable as organisations develop strategies to forge ahead post-budget and Royal Commission, “We hope as many providers as possible will take this opportunity to ensure that their processes are ready to manage, employ and protect the data that will revolutionise the quality of aged care in Australia.”
Following the Aged Care Royal Commission’s Final Report that called for the industry’s universal adoption of data and digital technology, a minimum data standard, and improved data governance, Australian providers are anticipating an announcement of the resources required for much-needed digital transformation.
With the opportunity for crucial digital transformation rapidly approaching, providers must ensure that their data governance and cybersecurity frameworks are up to this exciting task. This is especially crucial in the wake of an ongoing cybersecurity threat to Australia’s health and aged care industries. After a trend of ransomware attacks on providers such as Anglicare Sydney and Regis Healthcare in 2020, the Australian Cyber Security Centre issued a critical alert that cited the sectors as ‘lucrative targets’ for cybercriminals due to the invaluable nature of sensitive personal and medical data.
Managing Partner, Ash Priest says that Novigi’s team are well-placed and eager to offer their knowledge and experience during this significant time for the industry, “We’ve seen the immense benefits of data-driven transformation first-hand through the work we’ve done with our valued aged care clients. Most importantly, enhanced decision making leads to improved outcomes for the people in their care.”
