Secure your healthcare organisation’s critical information assets with this comprehensive self-assessment tool, designed to align clinical, administrative, and IT operations with the rigorous standards of ISO 27799. Built for professionals managing complex healthcare environments, this assessment delivers practical, actionable insights to strengthen governance, reduce risk, and ensure compliance across diverse regulatory landscapes.

This structured programme guides leaders through two essential pillars of information security excellence:

  • Establishing Clear Governance Boundaries: Accurately define which systems—electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory information systems, PACS, and more—fall within the scope of ISO 27799. Analyse data flows across departments to pinpoint where personal health information (PHI) is created, stored, or transmitted. Determine inclusion criteria for third-party and cloud-based services, including telehealth platforms, and assess security requirements for de-identified research data. Navigate multi-jurisdictional compliance demands, including GDPR, HIPAA, and Australian Privacy Principles, while documenting justified exceptions for legacy systems.
  • Building Leadership Accountability: Assign clear ownership of security outcomes to executive roles such as Chief Privacy Officer or Chief Medical Information Officer. Establish a multidisciplinary security steering committee with clinical, IT, compliance, and risk management representation. Develop escalation protocols for incidents impacting patient care, and secure leadership endorsement for scope decisions—ensuring alignment with organisational risk appetite and clinical workflows.

Integrate security governance seamlessly into enterprise risk management frameworks and support budget allocation for critical controls—like two-factor authentication—without disrupting frontline care delivery.

Elevate your organisation’s defence posture, demonstrate compliance, and foster a culture of information security leadership. Conduct your ISO 27799 self-assessment today and turn standards into strategic advantage.
