Ensure your healthcare organisation’s antivirus strategy meets the rigorous security demands of ISO 27799 with this comprehensive self-assessment programme. Designed for IT and security professionals managing clinical environments, this solution delivers a structured, audit-ready approach to evaluating and strengthening antivirus governance, operations, and compliance across your entire digital ecosystem.
Through two targeted modules, you’ll gain actionable insights that align with international best practices and healthcare-specific security requirements. The assessment empowers you to:
- Align antivirus controls with ISO 27799 control objectives, classifying them as preventive, detective, or responsive based on organisational risk appetite and mapping directly to clauses including 5.10, 8.26, and 12.4
- Define precise coverage scope across endpoints, servers, email gateways, and virtual desktops—guided by asset classification and data sensitivity
- Integrate antivirus performance into incident management (16.1) and access control (8.2) frameworks, ensuring cohesive security operations
- Develop enforceable policies specifying signature update frequency, scanning protocols, quarantine procedures, and consequences for unauthorised software disablement
- Establish automated enforcement for non-compliant devices, including network access restrictions and remediation workflows
- Document control decisions in a robust Statement of Applicability (SoA), with clear justifications for inclusion or exclusion of specific measures
- Embed antivirus metrics into ongoing risk assessment cycles (5.4 and 5.5), enabling continuous improvement and audit readiness
Minimise exposure to cyber threats while demonstrating compliance with ISO 27799 and broader healthcare security standards. This self-assessment equips your organisation with the clarity, structure, and governance framework needed to protect sensitive health information and uphold system integrity.
