Equip your healthcare organisation with a robust, standards-aligned approach to cybersecurity through this comprehensive self-assessment based on ISO 27799. Designed specifically for health sector challenges, this programme empowers leaders and practitioners to strengthen governance, manage risk, and ensure compliance—without disrupting critical patient care operations.
Through two targeted modules, you’ll gain actionable insights to build a sustainable cybersecurity framework grounded in international best practice. This is not just a checklist—it’s a strategic foundation for securing clinical systems, managing third-party access, and embedding security into everyday healthcare workflows.
- Establish healthcare-specific governance by aligning ISO 27799 with established frameworks like COBIT and NIST CSF, while clearly defining roles for data stewards, clinical system owners, and security leads
- Integrate security with patient safety by designing escalation pathways for incidents that impact clinical operations, ensuring rapid response without compromising care delivery
- Map global regulations to practical controls—including HIPAA, GDPR, and PIPEDA—while maintaining audit-ready documentation across hybrid cloud and on-premise environments
- Assess risks with clinical impact in mind, accounting for system availability, legacy infrastructure, and connected medical devices with limited patching capability
- Manage third-party risk effectively by evaluating clinical applications accessing electronic health records and embedding risk treatment into change management processes
- Optimise decision-making with risk scoring models that reflect both data confidentiality and operational continuity in emergency and critical care settings
Regular governance reviews and risk register updates are aligned with clinical upgrade cycles, ensuring cybersecurity evolves alongside your organisation’s capabilities and patient needs.
Take the next step in professionalising your healthcare cybersecurity posture. Complete this self-assessment today and build a defensible, patient-centred security programme aligned with ISO 27799.
