Yes. Purple is used across NHS trusts in the UK and is designed to meet NHS Digital Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit requirements. The platform supports GDPR-compliant data capture, clinical network segmentation, and content filtering for patient-facing WiFi. Purple holds ISO 27001 certification.

Purple creates distinct SSIDs and VLANs for each user type: patients and visitors access the internet through a captive portal on a segmented guest VLAN; clinical staff authenticate via WPA2/3-Enterprise or iPSK on a separate SSID with no access to guest traffic; and medical devices can be placed on a dedicated IoT VLAN. All three run on the same physical AP infrastructure.

Purple is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. For NHS deployments, the platform supports DSP Toolkit requirements. Data is processed in UK/EU data centres, and all guest data collected through the captive portal is owned by the healthcare organisation — Purple acts as a data processor under your own privacy policy.

Purple Maps uses your existing WiFi AP layout combined with a digital floor plan to provide turn-by-turn indoor navigation for patients and visitors. Users access the map through the hospital website, the Purple App, or a QR code at key entry points. The system requires no additional hardware beyond your existing wireless infrastructure.

Purple Shield provides DNS-layer content filtering that can block inappropriate categories (adult content, gambling, extremism) and malicious domains from patient and visitor WiFi. Filtering policies are configurable per SSID, enabling different rules for children's wards, general patients, and visitor lounges.

Purple can be configured to pre-authenticate patients who have already signed into the NHS App or a hospital patient portal via SSO (SAML or OAuth2), reducing friction at WiFi sign-in and enabling more personalised engagement messages such as appointment reminders triggered by WiFi presence.
