Ensure your organisation meets the highest standards in health data protection with our comprehensive Self-Assessment on Business Associate Agreements in ISO 27799. Designed for information security leaders, compliance officers, and legal professionals, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen governance, reduce risk, and ensure alignment across complex regulatory landscapes.
Through two targeted modules, you’ll gain practical strategies to operationalise ISO 27799 within your existing information security management system (ISMS), while navigating the legal intricacies of third-party data sharing. This is not just a compliance exercise—it’s a strategic framework to build trust, enhance accountability, and safeguard sensitive health information globally.
- Establish robust health data governance by identifying mandatory versus advisory controls under ISO 27799, tailored to jurisdiction-specific laws such as HIPAA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Principles.
- Clearly define roles like data custodian and data steward, aligning responsibilities with Section 5.3 controls for precise accountability.
- Develop consistent policies for what constitutes protected health information (PHI) across international borders, enabling uniform application and audit readiness.
- Seamlessly integrate ISO 27799 with your ISO 27001 framework, eliminating duplication and streamlining compliance oversight.
- Draft legally sound Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) that address cross-jurisdictional challenges, including conflicts between GDPR joint controller obligations and HIPAA requirements.
- Implement enforceable clauses for data retention, destruction, and subcontractor compliance, ensuring end-to-end accountability in third-party relationships.
- Build a responsive change management process to adapt policies in line with evolving threats, regulations, and operational needs.
