Ensure robust, compliant remote working arrangements across healthcare organisations with this comprehensive self-assessment tool, aligned to ISO 27799 standards. Designed for information security leaders, IT governance teams, and healthcare administrators, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen remote access frameworks while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
This structured assessment covers end-to-end remote work security, from policy design to technical enforcement—equipping your organisation with the clarity and confidence to protect sensitive health information beyond the traditional perimeter.
- Define precise access scope and user segmentation based on role criticality, data sensitivity, and access frequency—ensuring clinicians, administrators, and third parties only access what’s essential to their function.
- Implement role-based access control (RBAC) aligned with healthcare job families, supported by automated provisioning and deprovisioning through HR system integration.
- Enforce strict endpoint compliance with mandatory device hardening requirements, including full-disk encryption, host-based firewalls, and automatic patching—verified via MDM or UEM platforms.
- Apply conditional access policies that block non-compliant devices from connecting to clinical or administrative systems, reducing exposure to cyber threats.
- Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions with real-time monitoring and remote remediation to maintain visibility and control over distributed devices.
- Establish clear BYOD and contractor access protocols, including time-bound access windows, device attestation, and documented approval workflows for privileged roles.
Gain confidence that your remote working environment is secure, auditable, and aligned with international best practice. Whether you're supporting frontline clinicians or managing third-party vendors, this self-assessment helps you reduce risk, improve compliance, and strengthen cyber resilience across your healthcare organisation.
