❓ Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need cybersecurity compliance?
Yes. Under the Privacy Act, ALL health service providers must take 'reasonable steps' to protect personal information — regardless of practice size or revenue. The OAIC has consistently ranked healthcare as Australia's #1 sector for data breaches.
We already have an IT provider. Do we still need this?
Most IT providers handle general support — hardware, software, connectivity. MedShield specifically assesses your practice against healthcare-specific compliance frameworks (Privacy Act, My Health Records Act, Essential Eight) that general IT providers typically don't cover.
How long does an audit take?
The on-site audit takes 3–4 hours. We work around your practice schedule to minimise disruption. You'll receive a detailed remediation report within 5 business days.
What if we fail the audit?
There's no pass or fail — it's about identifying gaps and fixing them. Every practice we've assessed has had findings. The important thing is knowing where you stand and having a plan to improve.
