Ensure your healthcare organisation's data resilience and compliance with a structured, ISO 27799-aligned approach to data backup. This comprehensive self-assessment delivers immediate clarity and actionable insights, enabling you to strengthen cyber incident readiness, meet regulatory obligations, and safeguard critical health information across complex IT environments.
Designed for information security leaders, risk managers, and health IT professionals, this programme empowers your team to evaluate and optimise backup procedures with precision and confidence. Gain a clear understanding of how ISO 27799 controls apply to your clinical data infrastructure and transform compliance into a strategic advantage.
- Align backup policies with ISO 27799 requirements – Identify mandated controls across key clauses (e.g., 8.3, 12.3, 14.2) and integrate them into your Statement of Applicability for seamless audits.
- Prioritise data protection through intelligent classification – Implement data labelling frameworks to assign backup frequency and retention based on sensitivity and clinical impact.
- Optimise recovery outcomes for electronic health records – Define clear recovery point objectives (RPOs) aligned with clinical workflow tolerances, ensuring minimal data loss during disruptions.
- Meet legal and regulatory retention mandates – Establish defensible retention periods for backup media in line with medical record preservation laws.
- Strengthen cyber resilience and operational continuity – Verify alignment between backup strategies and business continuity plans through structured review processes with clinical stakeholders.
- Reduce risk and cost – Exclude non-essential data from backup cycles, enforce encryption for confidential data at rest and in transit, and document risk-based exceptions with governance oversight.
Automate metadata-driven backup tagging, enhance encryption governance, and ensure all protected health information (PHI) systems are comprehensively covered—minimising exposure and maximising operational efficiency.
