Secure your healthcare organisation’s critical systems and patient data with this comprehensive self-assessment tool, designed to implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in alignment with ISO 27799 standards. Built for information security leaders, compliance officers, and healthcare IT professionals, this programme delivers the strategic depth of a multi-session consultancy—without the disruption.
Gain clear, actionable insights to strengthen authentication practices across complex clinical environments, ensuring robust defence against unauthorised access while maintaining care delivery efficiency.
- Align MFA strategy with ISO 27799 control objective A.9.1.2, confidently interpreting requirements for user identification and authentication within electronic health record (EHR) systems.
- Map security controls to existing risk assessments and identify critical gaps in authentication across legacy systems, even those without API capabilities.
- Define clear governance boundaries when third-party vendors manage components of your IT infrastructure, ensuring accountability and compliance.
- Conduct targeted risk assessments for high-exposure areas like radiology terminals and pharmacy systems, factoring in threat modelling and insider risks from privileged users.
- Balance clinical usability with security by evaluating MFA fatigue and system failure impacts on patient care continuity—ensuring safeguards support, rather than hinder, frontline operations.
- Integrate seamlessly with existing frameworks such as NIST or HITRUST, avoiding duplication while strengthening policy coherence and audit readiness.
Establish documented justifications for control exclusions where MFA is impractical—such as emergency override scenarios—and maintain ongoing compliance through system upgrades with clear ownership models.
This self-assessment equips your organisation to proactively manage cyber risks, meet international best practices, and demonstrate due diligence in protecting sensitive health information.
