B3S Health & ISO 27799: Safety and compliance in healthcare
Your path to secure and efficient compliance
Hospitals are among the most critical infrastructures (KRITIS) in our society. The IT Security Act and the industry-specific security standard (B3S Healthcare) create clear requirements for the implementation of a reliable information security management system (ISMS) in hospitals. In conjunction with ISO 27799, the specific requirements in the healthcare sector are specifically addressed – for effective protection of patient data and medical processes while at the same time fulfilling all compliance regulations.
Why are hospitals KRITIS?
As KRITIS operators, hospitals play a key role in the provision of healthcare to the population. System failures or security gaps not only jeopardize economic stability, but above all the health of patients. High standards for data protection, IT security and risk management are therefore essential.
B3S health and ISO 27799 at a glance
B3S Health: The industry-specific security standard for medical care (B3S) developed by the German Hospital Federation defines clear minimum requirements for KRITIS operators and other hospitals.
ISO 27799: This standard extends ISO 27001 to include healthcare-specific requirements and ensures optimum protection of sensitive patient data, medical processes and the entire IT structure through permanent monitoring.
The combination of B3S Health and ISO 27799 creates a robust level of security. It covers both the technical protection of the IT infrastructure and organizational processes such as risk analyses and data protection measures.
Advantages of an integrated ISMS for your hospital
- Legal certainty and compliance: Meet legal requirements (e.g. IT Security Act, GDPR) and minimize the risk of fines or reputational damage.
- Holistic risk management: Identify and assess IT risks at an early stage, reduce vulnerabilities and increase the reliability of your critical systems.
- Efficient processes: A structured ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001 and ISO 27799 optimizes administration and clinical processes.
- Trust among patients: Ensure the protection of sensitive health data – a cornerstone of trust in your facility.
