Person-Centred Care Needs Person-Proof Protection
Intellectual disability service providers manage highly personal support plans, medication records, and safeguarding systems for people who depend on consistent, familiar routines. A cyber incident breaks all of that.
When Support Systems Fail
People with intellectual disabilities often cannot advocate for themselves when technology fails. A cyber incident means:
- Person-centred plans — including communication protocols and behavioural support strategies — become inaccessible to staff
- Medication administration records go offline for individuals with complex pharmaceutical needs
- Safeguarding records and incident reports cannot be accessed or filed
- Transport and day service coordination breaks down for hundreds of service users
- HIQA compliance evidence and quality assurance documentation is unavailable
- Families lose contact with the support system their loved ones depend on
Are Intellectual Disability Services In Scope?
In most cases, yes. Major Section 38/39 organisations providing intellectual disability services typically employ well over 50 staff, manage significant HSE funding, and operate health IT systems — placing them clearly within NIS2 scope.
Organisations like Brothers of Charity, Stewarts Care, St Michael's House, and similar providers should be actively preparing for NIS2 compliance.
