At Periculo, Your Cybersecurity is Our Priority
Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) are a cornerstone in protecting organisations—especially within the digital health sector. At Periculo, we understand the unique challenges of securing sensitive healthcare data and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations. Let’s explore how partnering with an MSSP can transform your security posture.
What is an MSSP?
Understanding the basics is the first step to leveraging an MSSP for your organisation.
A Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offers specialised security services to monitor, manage, and safeguard your systems. By outsourcing these tasks, you free up internal resources to focus on your core mission—delivering quality healthcare solutions—while maintaining robust cybersecurity measures.
Key MSSP Services
MSSPs provide a range of services to protect your organisation from evolving cyber threats.
- 24/7 Monitoring: Around-the-clock surveillance to identify and respond to threats in real time.
- Vulnerability Management: Proactive assessments to find and fix weak points in your security.
- Firewall and VPN Management: Reliable configuration and maintenance for secure data transmission.
- Antimalware Solutions: Advanced protection against malicious attacks with expertly managed tools.
- Compliance Assistance: Support in navigating regulations like EU MDR, FDA, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and SOC 2.
MSSP vs. MSP: What’s the Difference?
Choosing between an MSSP and an MSP depends on your organisation's priorities.
While both provide outsourced IT services, their focus sets them apart:
- MSPs manage IT infrastructure, ensuring smooth operations.
- MSSPs specialise in securing IT environments against cyber threats.
If security is your primary concern, an MSSP is the way forward.
Benefits of MSSPs for Digital Health

- Security Auditing: Independent assessments to enhance your existing framework.
- Hybrid Approach: Supplement in-house teams with external expertise.
