How Airlock Detect works

From hidden exposure to verified evidence

Airlock Detect is a fully managed patient-data exposure service for dental clinics. It finds exposed patient data across agreed locations, assesses what needs attention, manages authorised remediation, verifies the outcome and maintains evidence of what was done.

It works alongside your existing IT provider and continues throughout the year rather than ending with a one-off scan.

Ongoing Discovery, Remediation & Evidence

The Detect journey

Start with a free look at exposure. Continue into managed remediation and evidence.

Detect begins with a Free Exposure Check so the clinic can see the problem before committing to the paid service.

If the clinic subscribes, the same findings move into an ongoing managed cycle of remediation, verification, evidence and recurring discovery.

Phase A

Free Exposure Check

Discovery and assessment only. No remediation is performed during the free phase.

1
Request the check
The clinic requests a Free Exposure Check and books an introductory call.
2
Agree scope and authorisation
Airlock confirms the clinic environment, IT-provider involvement, locations in scope and any exclusions, then obtains electronic authorisation to proceed.
3
Run scoped discovery
Airlock uses specialist discovery technology across the agreed environment to identify exposed patient data.
4
Review the findings
Airlock reviews the results, groups meaningful findings and assesses the exposure.
5
Receive the Exposure Summary
The clinic receives a clear summary of what was found, the main exposure areas and recommended next steps.
6
Results call
Airlock walks through the findings and the clinic decides whether to continue with paid Detect.

Phase B

Paid Airlock Detect

Once subscribed, Airlock can manage corrective action within the agreed authority and remediation rules.

1
Confirm ongoing scope and remediation rules
Airlock confirms the paid service scope, operating authority and which actions can be taken without additional approval.
2
Remediate exposure
Airlock performs or coordinates the agreed corrective action using the appropriate underlying system or process.
3
Capture action evidence
What was done, when it was done, who or which system performed it and the result are recorded.
4
Rescan and verify
Airlock runs the next scheduled scan or a targeted check and compares the new evidence with the original finding and recorded remediation.
5
Produce the Evidence Report
The clinic receives an approved Evidence Report showing what was found, what was remediated, what was verified and what remains outstanding.
6
Repeat
The cycle continues monthly so new, recurring and outstanding exposure continues to be managed.

One managed workflow

Specialist systems do the technical work. Airlock connects the process and keeps the evidence.

Underlying discovery and endpoint-management systems provide the technical capability to find exposure and carry out approved actions.

Airlock brings the results into one consistent record, manages what needs to happen next, records remediation, verifies the outcome and maintains the evidence trail.

The clinic does not need to operate another technical dashboard to receive value from the service.

What your clinic receives

A clear Exposure Summary first. Ongoing evidence if you continue.

The customer output changes as the service moves from the Free Exposure Check into paid Airlock Detect. Both outputs come from the same underlying evidence trail, but they answer different questions.

Free Exposure Check — Exposure Summary

Shows the agreed scope, main findings, affected locations or categories, priority areas and recommended next steps. Because the free phase does not include remediation, it shows what needs attention — not what has already been fixed.

Paid Airlock Detect — Evidence Report

Builds on that same evidence trail to show findings, remediation completed, verification outcomes, new or recurring exposure, anything still outstanding and progress over time.

One evidence trail. Two clear customer outputs.

Clinic, IT and Airlock

Clear roles before discovery begins

The clinic authorises the service and remains accountable for compliance and business decisions.

Your IT provider continues managing systems, infrastructure, security controls, cloud services, identity, access and support.

Airlock manages the specialist patient-data exposure and evidence process around that environment, with scope and remediation rules agreed upfront where IT involvement is required.

How Airlock Works With IT

Getting started

See the exposure first. Decide what to do next.

The Free Exposure Check gives your clinic a controlled first look at hidden patient-data exposure and a clear route into ongoing Detect if you want Airlock to manage remediation, verification and evidence.
