Healthcare & Medicine
In your organization, every security measure competes with the mandate to provide care – and care rightly wins. At the same time, the number of connected devices is rising, the skills shortage affects IT and care alike, and health data is among the most sensitive information an organization processes.
This is not negligence, but the right prioritization under conflicting requirements. What matters is therefore that security is not planned against care, but as part of its resilience.
What makes this environment challenging.
Decisions in healthcare often touch several sensitive areas at once: ongoing care, regulated medical technology and the protection of health data. Every change therefore has to hold up medically, technically and in regulatory terms. We encounter three patterns in this environment again and again.
Care comes first
The mandate to provide care rightly stands above other considerations. Changes have to fit into it, not the other way round.
Operated, but not changeable
Connected medical technology is subject to manufacturer requirements that operators are not allowed to change on their own. It is nevertheless answered for in their own network.
Three sets of rules, one daily routine
Information security, medical device law and data protection are regulated separately. In everyday clinic and practice work they come together, and they do not always pull in the same direction.
