These are the requirements for medical facilities

Medical practices are faced with a variety of regulatory requirements, particularly in relation to IT security and data protection. Three particularly relevant regulations are the European NIS2 (Network and Information Security) Directive, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the security guidelines of the German Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV).

 

The NIS2 Directive aims to ensure a high common level of security for network and information systems in the EU. It primarily affects critical infrastructures, including the healthcare sector. The NIS2 Directive sets out the following requirements for organisations:

  1. Risk management: Medical practices must regularly assess risks to their IT systems and take appropriate measures to minimise risks. 
  2. Reporting obligations: Security incidents that have a significant impact on the network and information systems must be reported to the competent authorities. 
  3. Crisis management: Medical practices need to develop plans for dealing with safety incidents and conduct regular drills to ensure that all staff are prepared for emergencies.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) affects all organisations that process the personal data of EU citizens. For medical practices that work with sensitive health data, the requirements are particularly strict, with a particular focus on data security in terms of IT security: medical practices must take technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data. These include encryption, access controls and regular staff training.

 

The security guideline of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) specifies the following requirements for IT security and data protection in medical practices.  

  1. IT baseline protection: Medical practices must implement at least the IT baseline protection of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). This includes a large number of security measures that are tailored to common threats.
  2. Emergency management: The KBV requires the creation of an emergency plan that describes measures for the recovery of IT systems and data in the event of a failure or attack.

G5 Firewall ist in einem Serverschrank eingebaut mit einer roten Beleuchtung

The firewall

The firewall lays the technical foundation for data protection, access control and more. Viruses and Trojans now have a hard time and the network segmentation forms ‘fire compartments’ to protect your infrastructure.

Contact us to find out more about our UTM firewall and request a demo.

Antivirus software

If malware tries to bypass the firewall and land directly on the end device via download or USB stick, a real-time scan with antivirus software prevents worse.

Contact us to find out how our antivirus can protect your systems.
