Why practice websites need special attention<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Practice websites handle sensitive inquiries and are often the only way to book an appointment outside consultation hours. If the form fails, nobody notices \u2013 the inquiries simply don't arrive. At the same time, health data is subject to high requirements that must be secured technically.<\/p>\n\t\t

Security<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Firewall, login protection and malware scans prevent your practice site from being abused for spam or phishing.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Technical support for data protection<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We check SSL, form encryption, cookie consent and external embeds. The legal assessment remains with your data protection officer.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Appointment booking<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Booking systems are usually plugins or external services. After every update we check that appointments can actually still be booked.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Contact forms<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We test delivery regularly and monitor deliverability \u2013 the most common silent error on practice websites.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Performance<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Patients mostly search on mobile and on the go. Short load times and readable consultation hours matter more here than elaborate effects.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Updates & backups<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Tested updates on fixed cycles, daily external backups \u2013 including restoration if something goes wrong after all.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Resilience<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Monitoring reports outages automatically. Especially on weekends and public holidays, an offline practice site would otherwise go unnoticed for weeks.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Personal point of contact<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your practice has no IT team. You write to us directly \u2013 we know your setup and reply in plain language.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Industry knowledge<\/p>

What requirements apply to a medical practice website?<\/h2>

A practice website often processes health data, for example through contact or appointment forms. Under Art. 9 GDPR, this data is considered especially sensitive. Forms must therefore be transmitted with encryption, embedded services require a data processing agreement, and the website must be kept technically up to date so that no patient data falls into the wrong hands.<\/p>
