Organizing data and information securely within the healthcare industry

NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security, aimed specifically at organizations that work with personal health information, such as healthcare institutions and their service providers. It shows that you can organize patient data and information securely and manage risks.

‍

This standard is mandatory in the healthcare sector. ICT organizations that provide services to healthcare, such as ICT developers and administrators, are also covered by this standard.

‍

The NEN 7510 is based on the ISO 27001 and provides additional healthcare-specific control measures to strengthen the ISO 27001.

The implementation of NEN 7510 offers several advantages:

• Reduces the risk of data leaks and patient data breaches.

• Complying with NEN 7510 is required by law for healthcare facilities, so its implementation helps meet legal requirements.

• Does it meet the requirements and expectations of patients, clients and other stakeholders.

• Provides the competitive advantage in bids and tenders.
