Healthcare
Protect patient data without slowing down care
Hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers need strong access control for clinical and business systems. AuthControl Sentry® offers sign-in methods that suit busy clinical staff, shared workstations and remote access, on infrastructure you choose.
What makes access different in healthcare
Healthcare users are not one group. Clinicians, nurses, administrators and support staff use different systems in different places, often moving between wards, clinics and offices during a shift. Some work at shared or mobile workstations; others connect remotely.
Personal phones are not always practical or appropriate in clinical areas, and many organisations run long-established clinical systems alongside newer cloud services. Authentication has to protect patient information without adding friction at the point of care.
How Swivel Secure fits
Strong authentication that fits the environment it has to protect. See the AuthControl Sentry® platform for the full feature set.
Deployment choice
Keep authentication on your own servers or private cloud, in a hybrid model, or isolated from the internet where clinical systems require it.
Authentication choice
Match the method to the role: PINsafe® or PINpad for staff who cannot use a phone, the mobile app and push for others, and hardware tokens or FIDO2 passkeys where they fit.
Integration
Protect remote access, Microsoft 365 and web-based clinical and business applications through RADIUS, SAML and OpenID Connect.
Intelligent access
Risk-based authentication asks for more only when a sign-in is unusual, and single sign-on reduces repeated logins during a shift.
Where authentication has to work
One authentication platform across the systems and environments your users rely on.
- Clinical systems
- Remote access
- Business applications
- On-premise infrastructure
Users: Clinical, administrative and support staff, agency staff and suppliers
Practical use cases
Secure remote access for clinicians
Add MFA to VPN and remote desktop access for on-call and home-working staff.
Authenticate without a personal phone
Use PINsafe®, PINpad or hardware tokens where phones are restricted or unsuitable.
Protect shared workstations
Require a second factor at Windows logon, so each sign-in on a shared workstation is tied to the individual.
Protect email and cloud services
Apply MFA to Microsoft 365 and other cloud services used by clinical and administrative teams.
Single sign-on to web applications
Reduce repeated logins with one authenticated session across SAML and OpenID Connect applications.
Control agency and supplier access
Give agency staff, locums and suppliers access policies separate from permanent staff.
Customer experience
“We are very happy with the Swivel authentication solution. The implementation process was managed efficiently over a two-day period, with intuitive training that ensured minimum disruption to our users. The whole system has succeeded in meeting the needs of Sanitas for strong and flexible security.”
