Information Security Management System

What is ISMS ?

Verifies your organisation’s ability to manage data and information

  • ISO 27001 accreditation shows that you have identified the risks, assessed the ramifications, and implemented systemized controls to minimise potential damage to the organisation. Basically it provides a standardised framework for the management of data and information at a modern organisation.
  • An organisation must maintain an ISMS that covers all aspects of the standard in order to obtain ISO 27001 certification. Following which, they will be able to request a full audit from a certification body. An important consideration here is that, because ISO 27001 is primarily a framework for establishing an ISMS, it will not address all of the specific requirements of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, when it is combined with ISO 27701, which addresses the construction of a data privacy system, enterprises will be able to fully meet the GDPR obligations.

Application

  • The security rules are applicable on “covered entities” which includes health plans, pharmacy, radiology and electronic health records (EHR) labs, health care clearinghouses, laboratories and to any health care provider.

Requirements

  • Ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all e-PHI they create, receive, maintain or transmit.
  • Identify and protect against reasonably anticipated threats to the security or integrity of the information.
  • Protect against reasonably anticipated, impermissible uses or disclosures.
  • Ensure compliance by their workforce.
  • Risk Management of e-PHI
  • Administrative safeguards: security management process, Information access management, workforce training and management, and workstation and device security.
  • Technical safeguards: Access control, integrity controls, and transmission security etc.
