Heimdal Announces New Partnership with ITHealth to Reinforce Cyber Security for NHS Organisations

LONDON, United Kingdom, 5 December 2024 - Heimdal, a global leader in proactive cyber security solutions, announces a new partnership with ITHealth, a trusted cyber security provider to the NHS.

This partnership expands ITHealth’s offerings by integrating Heimdal’s advanced capabilities into the ITHealth Dashboard. 

By combining Heimdal’s threat protection and mitigation features with the ITHealth Dashboard, NHS organisations can improve security operations and build greater resilience. 

Heimdal’s solutions are trusted by over 16,000 organisations worldwide, providing clear threat visibility, effective IT control, and strong protection against cyber-attacks.  

Key offerings that the partnership will bring to the NHS market include: 

• Advanced Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) simplifies endpoint and security management. 

• Third-Party and OS Patching automates remediation and improves security and compliance. 

• Ransomware Encryption Protection (REP) delivers real-time defense against advanced ransomware encryption attempts.
• Application Control and Endpoint Privilege Management protect and manage system endpoints. 

With Heimdal’s expertise, ITHealth can now provide NHS organisations with a complete solution that improves compliance, strengthens security, and supports operational efficiency—helping to protect patient care and data in a rapidly changing digital environment. 

Chris Booth, Healthcare Account Manager at ITHealth, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: 

“Our collaboration with Heimdal marks a significant milestone in enhancing cyber security resilience for NHS organisations. We’re excited to integrate Heimdal’s world-class solutions into our portfolio, reinforcing our commitment to equipping NHS teams with the best tools to thrive in today’s digital environment.” 

Frederik Seemann Jensen, Head of Enterprise, UK & Ireland at Heimdal added. 

“We partnered with ITHealth to create an integrated, automated system for assessment, mitigation, and reporting. By combining our platforms, we aim to secure and future-proof the NHS. The new procurement strategy for Integrated Care Systems (ICS) mandates tech companies to deliver unified, multi-tenant platforms that enable economies of scale, shared resources, centralized cyber policies, and compliance with current and future guidelines.”

Heimdal is already providing technologies for cyber maturity improvement to Birmingham Women’s & Children’s Hospital, NHS Northumbria, Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trust, and Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (case study).

Building on this success, ITHealth aims to extend Heimdal’s proven solutions to additional NHS organisations, allowing even more institutions to benefit from these advanced technologies.

Initially, ITHealth and Heimdal will focus on Third-Party and OS Patching, integrating this functionality into the ITHealth Dashboard to help NHS organisation’s manage patching effectively.

More details about this integration and its benefits will be shared soon.
