Secure your healthcare organisation’s most sensitive data with this comprehensive self-assessment tool, meticulously aligned with ISO 27799 encryption standards. Designed for information security leaders, compliance officers, and IT professionals, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen data protection across complex, hybrid environments—from legacy medical systems to cloud-hosted platforms and live clinical workflows.
You’ll gain clarity on critical governance and operational challenges, including:
- Scope definition: Identify which systems—EHRs, lab databases, patient portals—require encryption based on data sensitivity and regulatory overlap with frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR.
- Role alignment: Map internal responsibilities (data stewards, clinicians, IT teams) to ISO 27799 requirements, ensuring accountability in policy enforcement.
- Legacy system integration: Evaluate whether older medical devices can support encryption or require documented compensating controls.
- Jurisdictional compliance: Analyse data residency laws to determine where encrypted health data can be securely stored and processed.
- Third-party risk: Assess cloud providers’ adherence to ISO 27799 during vendor onboarding, reducing supply chain vulnerabilities.
- Policy harmonisation: Align encryption controls with your existing ISO 27001 ISMS—eliminating duplication and ensuring cohesive governance.
This self-assessment empowers you to make informed, risk-based decisions—such as whether pseudonymised data requires encryption or how to manage emergency access exceptions—while maintaining strict compliance. You’ll leave with a clear roadmap to optimise cryptographic practices across data at rest, in transit, and in use, meeting both technical and regulatory demands.
