Equip your organisation with a strategic approach to cybersecurity assurance through our comprehensive self-assessment programme: Penetration Testing in ISO 27799. Designed specifically for healthcare and regulated environments, this programme enables security leaders, compliance officers, and IT risk professionals to align offensive security practices with the rigorous requirements of ISO 27799.
This self-directed assessment empowers you to:
- Map penetration testing directly to ISO 27799 controls, including access management (5.16), asset governance (5.9), and system lifecycle security (8.10), ensuring targeted validation of high-risk areas.
- Define clear boundaries between penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and code reviews to eliminate redundancy and strengthen assurance coverage.
- Assess control effectiveness by evaluating how test outcomes inform continual improvement obligations under clause 10.1, directly supporting audit readiness and compliance reporting.
- Safeguard patient data integrity by aligning simulated attack scenarios with clinical workflows, ensuring electronic health record (EHR) availability during critical care periods.
- Collaborate effectively with privacy and clinical IT teams to establish rules of engagement that respect regulatory obligations under GDPR, HIPAA, and Australian Privacy Principles—without compromising test rigour.
- Identify high-exposure systems by analysing data flow across EHRs, connected medical devices, and third-party interfaces, ensuring complete coverage of protected health information (PHI) pathways.
Gain confidence that your penetration testing programme isn’t just technically sound—it’s strategically aligned with clinical risk, governance, and compliance objectives. This self-assessment provides the framework to build an accountable, risk-based testing capability that delivers actionable insights and demonstrable improvements in security posture.
