Ensure your healthcare organisation meets the highest standards in information security with our comprehensive self-assessment tool aligned to ISO 27799. Designed specifically for health information governance, this programme empowers leaders to build, evaluate, and optimise a robust security framework that supports clinical integrity, regulatory compliance, and enterprise risk management.
This structured assessment delivers actionable insights across two critical domains:
- Establishing a Governance Framework for Health Information Security: Define the scope of ISO 27799 across clinical, administrative, and research systems. Assign clear accountability to key roles including CISOs, medical directors, and data stewards. Integrate seamlessly with existing compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, NIST CSF, and GDPR, ensuring alignment across jurisdictions. Develop escalation protocols for conflicts between clinical operations and security mandates, and formalise reporting mechanisms for board-level oversight of policy compliance.
- Risk Assessment Methodology Aligned to ISO 27799: Implement a tailored risk assessment approach—qualitative or quantitative—based on data sensitivity and regulatory requirements. Map critical data flows across EHR, PACS, and connected medical devices to pinpoint vulnerabilities. Establish asset valuation criteria focused on patient data integrity and care delivery continuity. Conduct threat modelling with clinical and IT teams to identify realistic threats, from insider risk to ransomware. Incorporate third-party risk into your assessment lifecycle for end-to-end visibility.
Gain confidence that your security policies are not only compliant but strategically aligned with clinical operations and organisational resilience. This self-assessment enables continuous improvement through audit feedback, incident analysis, and executive reporting—driving accountability and proactive risk mitigation.
