NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security in the healthcare sector. This standard is intended to protect medical data and patient information.
NEN 7510 requires healthcare institutions to develop and adhere to a strong security policy. This means implementing security measures within your organisation and having clear protocols for reporting and managing data breaches.
Measure:
Regularly assess the security risks in your organisation and implement measures to manage these risks.
Measure:
Develop clear procedures for securing medical data and complying with privacy legislation.
Measure:
Train your employees regularly to raise awareness of their role in information security. For example, with the cyber security awareness e-learning from Arda. This helps them learn to recognise risks.
Measure:
Establish strict guidelines to limit access to sensitive information. For example, ensure that medical data is only accessible to authorised staff.
Measure:
Create an incident management plan outlining how to detect, handle, and report security incidents. This way, you can minimise damage if an incident occurs.
Measure:
Implement measures to ensure your organisation can always continue providing care, even during security incidents or IT outages.
