“In light of recent reports of cyberattacks affecting organisations across Europe, we would like to reassure our patients that the safety and security of their stored eggs, sperm and embryos remain our highest priority.
At London Women’s Clinic, gametes and embryos are preserved in specialised cryogenic storage tanks that are monitored 24/7. Our cryogenic storage tanks operate independently of external computer networks and cannot be remotely controlled, accessed or manipulated through digital systems. Their fundamental storage function is physical rather than digitally controlled, providing an important level of protection against cybersecurity threats. In addition, our laboratories operate under strict quality management and safety procedures, including routine monitoring, alarm systems, regular equipment inspections, and established emergency response protocols.
We continuously review our safety, security and contingency arrangements to ensure that the highest standards of care and protection are maintained.”
