Healthcare Trust & Evidence

Netify Healthcare is a curated marketplace of 30+ SD-WAN and SASE vendors. We enable structured procurement via our RFI and RFP builders. This page details how we research, curate and maintain guidance for regulated healthcare environments.

Healthcare & Pharma How Netify Works

Scope & transparency: Netify is not a network/security service provider and does not certify compliance. We translate common requirements (e.g., NHS DSPT, HIPAA, clinical safety expectations) into procurement questions and require suppliers to evidence their claims. Final compliance decisions remain with the buyer and their appointed advisors.

What we do

  • Provide Healthcare RFI/RFP templates that require supplier transparency.
  • Ask framework-aligned questions (where applicable) and request supporting artefacts.
  • Curate a marketplace and enable structured comparison of responses.

What we don't do

  • Provide managed network/security services.
  • Provide legal, clinical safety, or compliance certification.
  • Make regulatory determinations or approve suppliers as “compliant”.

Standards and guidance we reference (primary sources)

Netify is not a regulator or compliance auditor. We provide procurement questions aligned to framework expectations to require supplier evidence (where applicable) and support your internal assurance process.

Defining Trust in Healthcare

Healthcare networks carry clinical workflows. Buyers need evidence that guidance comes from people who understand real-world constraints. We prioritise resilience, segmentation and security controls supporting regulated data environments.

Netify is not a reseller. We provide an RFI/RFP workflow and a curated marketplace. Buyers define requirements, receive bids and shortlist appropriate SD-WAN and SASE options based on supplier attestation with documentation.

Verifiable Trust Signals

  • Named authors + reviewers: Healthcare templates are maintained by identifiable humans.
  • Transparent curation: We explain inclusion criteria and review processes.
  • Corrections path: Updates are published for audit trails.

Supporting Healthcare Procurement

Use an RFI for a fast Statement of Requirements (SoR) to shortlist providers. Use the RFP builder to run a full procurement process then vet and accept responses from the Netify Healthcare marketplace.

1. Healthcare templates

RFI and RFP libraries designed for healthcare constraints. We cover availability, segmentation and clinical traffic controls via supplier-led evidence capture.

2. Curated marketplace

RFIs can be published to a specific set of SD-WAN and SASE vendors who must provide supporting artefacts for their claims.

3. AI-assisted scoring

Responses are structured and compared against requirements. Scoring reflects the presence and quality of supplier-provided documentation.

Compliance-Led Procurement

Netify is not a regulator. We help organisations **require evidence** from suppliers by translating governance expectations into **structured procurement questions**.

For UK organisations this includes procurement questions aligned to NHS security expectations and UK GDPR. North American buyers map controls to HIPAA safeguards and organisational security frameworks to require supplier evidence (where applicable).

Framework-aligned questions (where applicable)

  • UK: Questions aligned to NHS security expectations, UK GDPR and governance requirements.
  • North America: HIPAA safeguards mapped to supplier validation requests.
  • Security controls: Alignment to ISO/NIST control families via structured evidence requests.

Marketplace Curation

Curation matters in regulated sectors. We prioritise clarity on what "curated" means in practice and what buyers should expect.

Eligibility

Providers participate if they support enterprise procurement workflows and provide verifiable evidence.

Review cadence

Participation and template coverage are reviewed. We publish updates via our corrections mechanism.

Transparency

Scoring criteria remains vendor-neutral. Buyers contract directly with providers after completing independent due diligence.

Evidence standard (what we ask suppliers to provide)

To support buyer assurance, we require vendors to submit supplier-provided documentation for the following areas:

  • Policies and control statements: Security, incident response, and BC/DR plans.
  • Certifications / independent assurance reports: Evidence of SOC2, ISO27001, etc., where held.
  • Pen test summaries: Vulnerability management approach and recent remediation history.
  • Data flow details: Clear information on data hosting locations and sub-processor details.
  • Service SLAs: Verifiable evidence of support models and uptime commitments.
