Background

About Larry Breen

Healthcare operates in one of the most complex and high-stakes environments of any sector. The consequences of getting it wrong — a delayed diagnosis, a cancelled operation, a data breach exposing patient records — are not measured in SLAs. They are measured in lives. That's the reality I work in every day. I'm the CEO of Santegic, a specialist healthcare advisory and cybersecurity firm working with health systems, clinical operators, health technology vendors and digital health innovators across Ireland, UK, Europe and US. We exist because healthcare deserves advisors who genuinely understand it — not generalist consultants applying a generic framework to a sector they've never worked inside. Our work spans two interconnected areas: Advisory — helping health organisations and health tech companies move from concept to commercial reality. That means strategy, digital transformation, service design, and the structured thinking that turns good ideas into fundable, deployable, scalable solutions. This division is led by Clare Harney, one of industries leading experts in Health specific compliance, regulation and innovation & transformation.Cybersecurity — helping healthcare providers, MedTech companies and health technology vendors understand their true security posture, build the evidence regulators and procurement teams require, and navigate NIS2, the EU AI Act, and the evolving compliance landscape with confidence. This division is led by Dr. Anita Finnegan, one of Ireland's leading specialists in healthcare cybersecurity.What makes us different is what we bring to the room. Not just frameworks and reports, but firsthand understanding of clinical workflows, patient impact, operational constraints, and what risk actually means when the stakes are clinical rather than commercial. If you are a health system leader, a health tech founder, a board member, or a procurement team trying to make sense of a fast-changing regulatory and technology landscape — I'd welcome a conversation.
