Ensure your healthcare organisation’s data protection strategy meets international best practice with this comprehensive self-assessment tool for Data Loss Prevention (DLP) aligned to ISO 27799. Designed for information security leaders, risk managers, and healthcare IT professionals, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen compliance, safeguard sensitive health data, and embed robust DLP controls within clinical and administrative workflows.
This structured curriculum equips your team to design, implement, and govern DLP systems that meet the stringent demands of healthcare environments. You’ll gain clear methodologies to:
- Align DLP controls with ISO 27799 requirements, including Clauses 7.3 (confidentiality) and 12.4 (data leakage prevention), ensuring full coverage across your Statement of Applicability.
- Classify and discover sensitive health data across endpoints, email systems, and shared repositories using content-aware scanning and metadata tagging aligned with ISO 27799 classification standards.
- Automate data handling policies based on data sensitivity, leveraging regex patterns for identifiers like medical record numbers and ICD codes, validated against real-world clinical datasets.
- Establish governance frameworks with cross-functional oversight from legal, clinical, and IT stakeholders to review DLP effectiveness and compliance annually.
- Integrate DLP with incident response protocols to meet ISO 27799 breach reporting timelines and regulatory obligations, minimising exposure and reputational risk.
- Conduct targeted gap analyses between current capabilities and ISO 27799 controls, prioritising remediation by clinical data risk levels.
- Measure and report control effectiveness to senior management using risk-based metrics, supporting continuous improvement under Clause 9.3.
By embedding DLP within your organisation’s risk management framework, you’ll enhance data security posture, reduce non-compliance exposure, and demonstrate due diligence to regulators and stakeholders.
