Protecting patient data and medical systems across Indonesia
Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals
Indonesia's healthcare sector is adopting electronic medical records, telemedicine, and connected devices fast. Each new platform adds risk to patient data and clinical operations. Ransomware can halt hospital services. A compromised medical device can endanger patients. Alpha Code provides cybersecurity built for healthcare. We cover UU PDP health data rules and Kemenkes regulations. We also keep clinical systems running.

What healthcare organisations need to know
REGULATORY BASIS
UU PDP classifies health data as a special category
UU PDP No. 27/2022 classifies health data as a special category of personal data. This calls for stronger protection at hospitals, clinics, and insurers. Kemenkes has issued separate data governance guidelines under Permenkes 24/2022. They overlap with the UU PDP obligations but do not fully align with them.
RANSOMWARE EXPOSURE
Patient data dependency creates urgent ransom pressure
A hospital that cannot access medication records or surgical schedules cannot operate safely. Attackers exploit exactly this. Ransom payments in healthcare are more likely than in other sectors. The alternative is patient safety risk, not just financial damage.
MEDICAL DEVICES
Networked devices create lateral movement paths for attackers
Infusion pumps, imaging systems, and monitoring devices in Indonesian hospitals often run embedded operating systems with no recent security updates. These devices share the same network segments as clinical information systems. That gives attackers a path from one compromised device into core hospital infrastructure.
Threat Landscape
Understanding the risks
Key cybersecurity threats facing organisations in this sector.
01
Ransomware Targeting Hospital Operations
Ransomware can hit Indonesian hospitals hard. It can encrypt medical records, disable imaging systems, and lock out clinical apps. The life-safety stakes make healthcare organisations prime targets for extortion.
02
Patient Data & BPJS Record Breaches
Health records are among the most valuable data on dark web markets. Indonesia's BPJS Kesehatan database and hospital record systems are high-value targets. A breach can expose diagnoses, treatment histories, and insurance details.
03
Connected Medical Device Vulnerabilities
Medical IoT devices often run outdated firmware with known vulnerabilities. These include infusion pumps, patient monitors, and imaging equipment. A compromised device can endanger patients. It can also give attackers a path deeper into hospital networks.
04
Pharmaceutical IP & Supply Chain Attacks
Pharmaceutical companies face targeted attacks. Attackers want drug research data, clinical trial results, and manufacturing formulations. Supply chain attacks can compromise drug integrity tracking and distribution management systems.
Regulatory Compliance
Stay compliant, stay protected
Key regulatory frameworks and standards your organisation needs to meet.
UU 27/2022 (UU PDP)
Undang-Undang Pelindungan Data Pribadi: Health Data Provisions
UU PDP classifies health data as specific personal data. This calls for stronger protection. You need explicit consent to process it and limits on transfers. You must report breaches within 72 hours. Violations carry penalties up to 2% of annual revenue.
Permenkes 24/2022
Ministry of Health Regulation on Medical Record Security
Kemenkes regulations set electronic medical record security standards for hospitals and clinics. These cover access controls, audit trails, and encryption. They also set data retention policies and interoperability standards for the SATUSEHAT health data platform.
BPJS Data Security Requirements
BPJS Kesehatan Data Handling Standards
Healthcare facilities in the JKN national health insurance program must meet BPJS Kesehatan data security rules. These rules cover claims processing and patient identity verification. They also cover integration with the national health information system.
Our Solutions
How we protect your organisation
Tailored cybersecurity solutions mapped to your industry's specific needs.
Healthcare Cybersecurity Strategy & Compliance
We build healthcare-specific security strategies. They balance patient safety and clinical workflow continuity with compliance. They meet UU PDP health data provisions and Kemenkes digital health standards.
Explore serviceHospital Network & Medical Device Security
We set up network segmentation to isolate medical devices, clinical systems, and administrative networks. We add medical device asset discovery and vulnerability management. We design secure architecture for SATUSEHAT platform integration.
Explore serviceHealthcare Threat Detection & Monitoring
We run security monitoring built for healthcare environments. The detection use cases cover ransomware aimed at clinical systems. They also cover unauthorized medical record access and odd medical device communications.
Explore serviceHealthcare Incident Response & Recovery
We provide fast incident response that puts patient safety and clinical continuity first. We use playbooks for hospital ransomware, medical record breaches, and medical device compromise. Our procedures keep the impact on patient care low.
Explore serviceManaged Security for Healthcare Operations
We run continuous managed security for hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical companies. This covers endpoint protection and vulnerability scanning tuned for medical device sensitivity. It also covers email security and UU PDP compliance monitoring.

How an Indonesian hospital group can secure patient data and meet UU PDP obligations
A typical Indonesian hospital group operating multiple facilities faces the challenge of protecting electronic medical records, SATUSEHAT integration data, and networked medical devices under UU PDP requirements. Health data is classified as specific personal data under UU PDP No. 27/2022, requiring explicit patient consent, breach notification within 72 hours, and penalties up to 2% of annual revenue for violations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
How do you handle security assessments in active hospital environments?
We use non-disruptive assessment methods built for clinical environments. We run passive network discovery for medical devices. We schedule scanning during maintenance windows. We work closely with biomedical engineering teams to avoid any impact on patient care.
What is the biggest cybersecurity risk for Indonesian hospitals?
Ransomware is the most serious threat for hospitals. One attack can disable medical records, imaging, and lab systems at once. We put ransomware resilience first. We do this through network segmentation, strong backup strategies, and incident response readiness.
How does UU PDP affect healthcare organisations specifically?
Health data gets stronger protection under UU PDP as specific personal data. Healthcare organisations must set up explicit patient consent. They must limit data transfers and keep detailed processing records. They must report breaches within 72 hours. Our compliance program covers all of these.
Can you secure telemedicine and remote care platforms?
Yes. We assess and secure telemedicine platforms. These include video consultation systems, remote patient monitoring, and mobile health apps. Our services cover encryption, authentication hardening, and API security. We also meet Kemenkes telemedicine regulations.
How do you approach pharmaceutical manufacturing security?
Pharmaceutical cybersecurity covers both IT and operational technology. This includes manufacturing execution systems, quality management platforms, and drug traceability systems. We set up IT/OT segmentation and secure remote access for maintenance. We add IP protection controls for drug research data.
