The main benefits
Discover the key benefits of NEN 7510 certification for your organization:
Protect patient data and medical information
With NEN 7510, you ensure that sensitive data, from medical records to patient information, is processed, stored and shared securely. This ensures compliance with the GDPR and with the specific requirements for information security in healthcare.
Reduce risks and strengthen your digital resilience
The NEN 7510 standard is based on ISO 27001 and includes guidelines for risk management, access control and business continuity. Through an NEN 7510 risk analysis, you identify and manage vulnerabilities in your healthcare processes and IT environment.
Comply with laws and regulations
For Dutch healthcare organizations and their suppliers, NEN 7510 is mandatory to meet national and European privacy legislation. The NEN 7510 certificate demonstrates that you comply with these requirements and that your information security in healthcare is demonstrably in order.
Strengthen trust among patients and chain partners
NEN 7510 certification shows that your organization handles patient information with care and that security is structurally embedded in your processes. This strengthens trust among patients, health insurers, ICT partners and regulators such as the Dutch health and youth care inspectorate (Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd, IGJ).
Improve efficiency and structure
Implementing NEN 7510 brings more clarity and consistency to your processes related to information security in healthcare. Employees know their responsibilities and incidents can be detected and resolved more quickly.
Strengthen your position within the healthcare sector
In a sector where data security is an absolute prerequisite, NEN 7510 certification offers a competitive advantage. Many healthcare organizations in the Netherlands and suppliers require this certification as a condition for collaboration.
Safeguard continuity through NEN 7510 audits and improvement
Regular NEN 7510 audits ensure that your Information Security Management System (ISMS) remains up to date. This allows you to remain compliant with the latest guidelines and continuously demonstrate that you meet the applicable requirements.
