Ensure robust, compliant access governance across your healthcare organisation with this comprehensive self-assessment tool, aligned to ISO 27799 standards. Designed for information security and compliance professionals, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen access controls within complex clinical and administrative environments—without the cost or disruption of external consulting.
Through structured evaluation, you’ll systematically assess and enhance your organisation’s approach to managing access to sensitive health information. Key benefits include:
- Regulatory alignment: Map ISO 27799 controls to Australian and international privacy frameworks, including the Privacy Act and GDPR, ensuring your access policies support compliance across jurisdictions.
- Precise scope definition: Identify which systems—EHRs, PACS, laboratory databases—are in scope based on data sensitivity and operational risk, with clear criteria for classifying identifiable, pseudonymised, and anonymised health information.
- Role-based access that works: Develop clinically accurate, granular roles (e.g., radiologist, pharmacy technician) that reflect real-world workflows, not just departmental boundaries. Implement role hierarchies and segregation of duties to reduce unauthorised access risks.
- Third-party risk oversight: Evaluate cloud providers and external vendors against ISO 27799 requirements during onboarding and contract renewal.
- Future-ready governance: Establish processes for re-evaluating access controls as new digital health technologies are introduced, including legacy medical devices with limited security capabilities.
This self-assessment equips leadership, IT security, and compliance teams with a clear roadmap to optimise access control design, reduce data breach exposure, and strengthen patient trust. Developed for global healthcare environments, it supports consistent application across multi-site and cross-border operations.
