Why healthcare raises the bar
Healthcare organisations process special categories of health data, which places extra demands on how it’s secured.
Chain partners, health insurers and the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate expect information security in healthcare to be structurally in place.
A chain partner or insurer asks for NEN 7510 certification
There is no structured overview yet of where patient data is processed
An audit or inspection visit is scheduled
What trust can cost
A data breach involving medical data directly affects patient trust and can trigger a notification to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
Without NEN 7510, it can be harder to work with chain partners who require it as a condition.
What NEN 7510 additionally requires
NEN 7510 follows the structure of ISO 27001, supplemented with healthcare-specific requirements, such as logging (NEN 7513) and data exchange (NEN 7512).
A risk assessment focused on patient data
