Where are you on your cyber assessment journey?

Optimise your Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) submission process today

This year’s CAF submissions are over. Make next year count with less pain and more clarity

NHS Trusts across the UK are reflecting on their first year of Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) submissions. Most have one thing in common: under-resourced teams with a few people doing the work of many.

We understand the pressure. And we know it doesn’t have to be this hard.

Ask yourself:

  • How confident are you in your CAF submission quality?
  • Are you still relying on manual data gathering across silos?
  • Is there a smarter way to optimise your environment year-round?

Let’s have a quick conversation about how we can help make CAF easier, more effective, and less time-consuming for your team.

Helping you succeed with CAF

In today’s high-pressure clinical environments, NHS Trusts need more than just basic network monitoring, they need real-time insights, intelligent traffic control, and robust security. That’s why we’ve partnered with Gigamon to help Trusts gain full visibility, optimise performance, and strengthen cyber resilience across increasingly complex IT environments.

Better network visibility can help operationally and defensively. We equip healthcare IT teams with the visibility and control required to:

  • Eliminate noise by filtering out irrelevant and duplicate network traffic
  • Gain end-to-end visibility across on-prem, virtual, and hybrid cloud infrastructure
  • Fuel your SIEM, NDR, and observability tools with enriched, actionable network intelligence for faster threat detection

As NHS Trusts become increasingly reliant on IoT devices, meeting the requirements of the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) has never been more vital. IoT vulnerabilities pose real risks to both patient safety and operational continuity, two critical priorities in healthcare.

While some IoT solutions claim full visibility, their reach is often limited to what’s directly observable within their own ecosystem. That’s where our approach is different.

By delivering the right data to the right tools at the right time, we empower NHS InfoSec and NetOps teams to maintain 24/7 service availability - even under increasing network demands and growing cyber risk.
