Protecting Patient Data

In the healthcare sector, protecting sensitive patient data is of critical importance. NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security in healthcare and helps healthcare organizations ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of medical information. 

The standard provides guidelines for establishing a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS), specifically designed to address the unique challenges of the healthcare sector.

What is NEN 7510?

NEN 7510 is the leading standard in the Netherlands for managing information security within the healthcare sector. The standard is tailored to the specific requirements of healthcare and provides guidelines for the secure handling of patient data. 

Achieving NEN 7510 certification demonstrates that your healthcare organization has proactively implemented the necessary measures to protect medical data against threats such as data breaches and cyberattacks.

  • Legal compliance: Meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant laws and regulations.
  • Patient trust: Strengthens patient confidence by demonstrating that their data is properly protected.
  • Risk management: Minimizes the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks through a robust security system.
