AZ Mol strengthens cybersecurity resilience with SecWise

After experiencing a ransomware incident, AZ Mol decided not only to recover but to emerge stronger. Instead of treating cybersecurity as a one-time project, the hospital chose to invest in a structured and long-term approach to protecting its people, systems, and patient data.

"A cyber incident can be a difficult experience, but it can also become the catalyst for meaningful improvement. By partnering with SecWise, we gained both operational security support and a clear roadmap to continuously strengthen our cybersecurity posture."

Benjamin Peeters, IT Director of AZ Mol
To accelerate that journey, AZ Mol partnered with SecWise, leveraging our expertise in managed security services, continuous monitoring, and Microsoft security technologies

About AZ Mol, a regional general hospital

AZ Mol is a regional general hospital serving the Kempen region and plays an important role in delivering accessible, high-quality healthcare to thousands of patients every year. With more than 180+ accredited hospital beds, an extensive day hospital and a broad range of medical specialties, the hospital combines personalised care with modern healthcare services.

Each year, AZ Mol treats approximately 9,000 admitted patients, more than 24,000 day hospital patients, and welcomes around 110,000 outpatient consultations. In addition, more than 9,000 surgical procedures are performed annually, the emergency department handles over 21,000 patient contacts, and the hospital recorded 711 births in 2025.

Behind these services is a dedicated team of approximately:

  • 765 employees
  • 100 physicians
  • 30 volunteers
As a healthcare organisation that depends heavily on the availability, integrity and confidentiality of its systems and patient data, cybersecurity has become a strategic priority for AZ Mol. This commitment led to a close partnership with SecWise to strengthen cyber resilience, improve security maturity and ensure continuous protection against evolving cyber threats.

SecWise as a trusted security partner

Healthcare organisations face growing cyber threats while operating in an environment where uptime, confidentiality, and patient care are critical. AZ Mol wanted greater visibility into risks, faster response capabilities, and a clear roadmap for continuous improvement.

SecWise supports AZ Mol through a combination of:

  • 24/7 security monitoring
  • Threat detection and response
  • Security posture assessment
  • Strategic security guidance
  • Ongoing maturity improvement initiatives
By combining expert advice with operational support, AZ Mol gains the confidence that security is continuously monitored and improved.

Turning security into a continuous process

Unfortunately, cybersecurity is never finished. Rather than focusing solely on technology, SecWise worked together with AZ Mol to establish a sustainable security programme.
Through regular assessments and security maturity reviews, AZ Mol obtains clear insight into:
  • Current security risks
  • Priority improvement areas
  • Progress over time
  • Practical next steps to strengthen resilience
This structured approach enables both management and IT teams to make informed decisions and continuously raise the organisation’s security level.

Combining Microsoft technology with SecWise expertise

To support its security objectives, AZ Mol leverages Microsoft’s advanced security ecosystem together with SecWise’s cybersecurity expertise.
The organisation benefits from continuous security monitoring, advanced threat detection, and proactive recommendations that help reduce risk and improve response times. SecWise translates complex security alerts into actionable guidance, allowing AZ Mol’s IT team to focus on delivering reliable healthcare services.

Delivering peace of mind

For AZ Mol, cybersecurity is about more than technology. It is about protecting critical healthcare services, safeguarding sensitive data, and ensuring business continuity.

Today, SecWise acts as a trusted extension of the hospital’s IT team, helping to detect threats early, strengthen security controls, and continuously improve cyber resilience.

The result is greater peace of mind for both management and IT teams, knowing that cybersecurity is actively managed by specialists who understand the evolving threat landscape.

"Peace of mind was a decisive factor for us. Thanks to a clear playbook my team knows exactly how & when to rely on SecWise and vice versa"
