Ongoing EU project
Cybersecurity for European healthcare, delivered by a consortium of Polish microenterprises.
ASCLEPIUS is a project in which a consortium of Polish microorganisations, coordinated by IS Consulting, raises the level of cybersecurity at European healthcare facilities. The project is funded by the Digital Europe Programme via the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), and we provide services to beneficiaries pro bono. We work in an advisory, vendor agnostic model: we do not tie beneficiaries to a specific supplier, and we focus on maturity, resilience and real world feasibility. The project runs until the end of October 2026, and the results presented below reflect progress to date.
We carry out our work across three complementary areas.
We trained over 1,000 sector employees and ran more than 12 phishing campaigns. The effective click-through rate on links fell from 11% to 3%, a measurable demonstration of the effectiveness of recurring training and simulations. More than 40 people completed a bootcamp preparing them for the SSCP certification.
We carried out more than 37 static code analyses, over 14 infrastructure vulnerability scans and tests of more than 8 web applications. We translated the results into concrete remediation recommendations, reducing the attack surface before deployment to production.
We carried out more than 7 organisational maturity assessments and evaluated over 15 critical suppliers. Around 20 hours of tabletop exercises let us rehearse various incident scenarios with beneficiaries. We developed new cybersecurity procedures, standards and policies, which remained with beneficiaries as ready-made templates for repeated use.
Beneficiaries gained a smaller attack surface, genuinely stronger team competencies, rehearsed response scenarios and lasting resources in the form of policies and procedures. We treated cybersecurity as support for medical staff, not as a barrier to their daily work.
The project is delivered by a consortium of four Polish microenterprises.
