Trust Is the Control: Why Cybersecurity Starts with Honesty with Hammond Reddie, CISO of Spire Healthcare

Cybersecurity in healthcare isn’t just about protecting systems — it’s about protecting lives.

In this episode of CXO Secrets, David McClelland is joined by Hammond Reddie, CISO of Spire Healthcare, to explore what it really takes to secure organisations operating in life-critical environments. Drawing on experience across both the NHS and private healthcare, Hammond explains why effective security starts with culture, trust, and leadership — not technology alone.

They discuss building a speak-up culture, reframing human error as a learning opportunity, influencing at board level, and preparing healthcare organisations for an increasingly hostile threat landscape.

A must-listen for CISOs, CIOs, and senior leaders responsible for cyber resilience where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
