Healthcare and pharma

Health is in Annex I, so the size criterion applies. But Article 11 allows categorisation regardless of size for any institution whose disruption would significantly affect public health - which in healthcare is not unusual.

The measures that carry most of the work in this sector

02Asset management
Networked medical devices are assets, and are rarely in the IT inventory.
10Cryptography
Health data is a special category under the GDPR and requires protection in transit and at rest.
11Incident handling
An incident involving health data almost always triggers a parallel 72-hour notification to the data protection authority.
12Business continuity
Unavailability of a hospital system is not commercial damage but a risk to patients.

What we most often find

  • Networked medical devices absent from the asset inventory
  • Shared ward accounts with no link to a person
  • Backups reachable from the same network ransomware spreads through
  • A continuity plan with no procedure for working without the information system
