Ensure your healthcare organisation meets the highest standards in information security and vendor accountability with our comprehensive self-assessment tool for Service Level Agreements (SLAs) aligned with ISO 27799. Designed specifically for information security professionals, risk managers, and healthcare compliance leads, this programme empowers your team to build robust, enforceable SLAs that protect sensitive health information and support seamless clinical operations.
This structured self-assessment guides you through two critical phases of SLA development with precision and strategic clarity:
- Module 1: SLAs and ISO 27799 Compliance in Healthcare – Identify which ISO 27799 controls, including access control (A.9) and incident management (A.16), require formal SLA enforcement based on your organisation’s risk profile. Map security requirements directly to ISO 27799 clauses governing confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health data. Align SLAs with key regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, and national health privacy laws, ensuring legal defensibility and audit readiness.
- Module 2: Stakeholder Collaboration and Performance Metrics – Facilitate effective engagement between clinical, IT, legal, and compliance teams to define realistic, measurable service expectations. Translate clinical workflow needs into quantifiable performance indicators, including system uptime, response times, and breach liability thresholds. Resolve operational tensions between clinical demands and technical capacity through evidence-based negotiation and clear accountability frameworks.
Integrate SLA development into your existing Information Security Management System (ISMS) and strengthen third-party risk management by clearly defining security expectations for vendors handling electronic protected health information (ePHI). This self-assessment ensures your organisation not only meets compliance obligations but also enhances service reliability, interdepartmental alignment, and risk resilience.
