Chemist2U: Strategic Cloud Security Transformation for Growth

When data sensitivity meets rapid growth, security and compliance can’t be afterthoughts.

Organisations working with personal or regulated data—especially in healthcare—need infrastructure that scales without sacrificing control. As services grow, so do the risks: more assets to monitor, more compliance checks to meet, more chances for things to slip through the cracks.

That’s where structured cloud management becomes a business advantage—tightening security, maintaining compliance, and freeing teams to focus on what matters: delivering value to customers.

One company successfully navigating this balance is Chemist2U—a healthcare technology provider operating in a highly regulated environment, where data protection and operational continuity are critical to customer trust and business growth.

Chemist2U: Trusted Healthtech Provider in the Australian Market

Chemist2U Australia Pty Ltd connects Australians with prescription medications through a fast, tech-enabled delivery service. Operating in a regulated industry with sensitive customer data, Chemist2U prioritises secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure to meet both patient expectations and healthcare standards.

Strategic Priorities: Aligning Infrastructure Management with Growth and Risk Management Goals

Chemist2U sought to improve visibility across their AWS environment, maintain compliance with healthcare frameworks, and ensure they could manage scale without compromising security or service delivery. Their priorities were clear:

• Real-time cloud security monitoring and governance
• Continuous alignment with healthcare compliance and vendor security requirements
• Operational visibility across a growing cloud environment
• Fast, structured response to potential incidents
• Scalable, routine vulnerability and risk assessments

Chemist2U and DNX: Partnering to Deliver Targeted, Scalable Cloud Operations

Working closely with Chemist2U’s internal team, DNX introduced a structured cloud operation model designed to support both day-to-day operations and longer-term strategic goals.

1. Strengthening Cloud Security Foundations
DNX deployed a suite of cloud-native tools to provide 360° visibility into security posture and misconfigurations.

• Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to detect misconfigurations in real time
• Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) for workload-level threat detection and patching
• A centralised compliance monitoring system covering HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 27001, NIST, and PCI-DSS

This gave Chemist2U’s team real-time insights and the ability to act swiftly on any risk indicators.

2. Embedding Operational Discipline
To manage scale and complexity, DNX implemented operational support workflows aligned to enterprise requirements.

• 24/7 environment monitoring for rapid event detection
• A fixed DevSecOps allocation for ongoing system improvements
• Weekly/monthly reporting covering performance, security events, and incident trends
• Quarterly reviews to assess costs and identify optimisation opportunities

These processes helped ensure system reliability without pulling Chemist2U’s team away from product delivery.

3. Enabling Proactive Threat Response
Security monitoring was integrated into day-to-day tools and practices.

• Automated vulnerability scans
• Compliance reporting automation, reducing manual overhead
• Slack integration for real-time alerting on security issues

This enabled fast, informed responses to risks, reducing downtime and exposure.
