Case Study: Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust achieves seamless, cost-effective application control and rapid updates with Heimdal Security

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Consolidates Application Control with Heimdal

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) needed to strengthen cybersecurity while keeping clinical services running smoothly. After finding Microsoft’s built‑in controls too slow for their needs, and facing tight budgets, regulatory requirements, and the risk of business disruption, MCHFT partnered with Heimdal Security and adopted Heimdal Application Control (later adding Heimdal Remote Desktop) to gain real‑time, centrally managed application control.

Heimdal Security delivered a straightforward deployment with clear documentation and hands‑on support, enabling instant pushes of policy updates—outpacing Group Policy—so machines receive protections in real time. The solution proved cost‑effective versus alternatives, reduced the risk of disruptions and data breaches, and allowed MCHFT to better allocate IT resources, backed by regular monthly check‑ins from Heimdal.
