Healthcare, Dentists and Clinics
Medical offices, dental offices, dental clinics and other healthcare institutions handle sensitive patient data, valuable medical equipment and controlled substances. We deliver security that meets the requirements of Norwegian health data regulations – protecting patients, staff and assets.
Challenges for the healthcare sector
Medical offices, dental offices, dental clinics and other healthcare institutions have a dual responsibility: protect patient privacy and secure the building against break-ins and unauthorised access. Regulations are strict, and the consequences of a breach are serious – both legally and for trust in the practice.
Protection of patient data
Medical records, X-rays, test results and personal data must be protected against unauthorised access – both digitally and physically. Dental offices and medical offices with paper records, servers and computers containing patient data are vulnerable during break-ins. Health data security regulations set clear requirements.
Controlled substances and medication
Medical offices, dental clinics and clinics store prescription medication and controlled substances – including anaesthetics and nitrous oxide. These must be secured in accordance with regulations, with restricted access and traceability of who has been in the medication room.
Valuable equipment at dental offices
Dental offices contain expensive specialised equipment – X-ray machines, treatment units, digital scanners and gold materials. A break-in can mean loss of equipment worth hundreds of thousands, in addition to operational disruption and lost revenue while equipment is replaced.
Many staff with different access needs
Doctors, dentists, dental hygienists, nurses, receptionists, cleaners, substitutes and suppliers – all need access to different parts of the building at different times. Without electronic access control, it is impossible to manage this precisely.
Break-ins outside opening hours
Clinics, dental offices and medical offices contain valuable medical equipment, IT equipment and medication. Break-ins typically occur in the evenings and at weekends, and can result in both material damage and privacy breaches.
Patient safety and comfort
Patients in vulnerable situations should feel safe – whether at the doctor, the dentist or at a clinic. Strangers in waiting areas or treatment rooms create unease. Controlled access and intercom provide a safer experience for everyone.
Documentation for inspections
Health authorities and data protection agencies may require documentation of physical security measures. Without traceable systems, it is difficult to prove that regulatory requirements are met.
Our solutions for healthcare
We deliver security solutions adapted to medical offices, dental offices, dental clinics and other healthcare institutions. Everything is designed with privacy and regulations as the starting point – so you can demonstrate to inspection authorities that physical security is in place.
Zone-based access control
Different zones with different access levels: reception, treatment rooms, X-ray rooms, medication room, server room and archive. At dental offices, this can include dedicated zones for sterilisation rooms and material storage. Each employee gets access only to the zones they need, with time-based access for cleaners and substitutes.
Intruder alarm for clinics and dental offices
Alarm system covering the entire clinic or dental office, activating automatically at closing time. When triggered, you or the security company are alerted immediately. Can be combined with camera verification to avoid unnecessary call-outs.
Medication and material room security
Medication rooms, cabinets with controlled substances and dental offices' storage of gold materials and anaesthetics are secured with dedicated access control and alarm. Only authorised personnel have access, and every opening is logged with time and identity – ready for audit.
CCTV for common areas
Cameras in entrances, corridors and parking provide oversight without filming patients during treatment. Particularly relevant for dental offices and clinics with evening hours. Recordings are stored encrypted and only accessible to authorised personnel when needed.
Intercom and visitor control
Patients and visitors ring via video intercom. Reception sees who is at the door and lets them in. Outside opening hours, the building is locked and only staff with valid access can enter – important for dental offices and clinics that share buildings with other businesses.
Documentation for regulatory compliance
We help you document physical security measures in accordance with health data security standards. Access logs, alarm reports and system documentation make it easy to demonstrate to inspection authorities that requirements are met – whether you run a medical office, dental office or clinic.
