Secure structures for hospitals – practical, B3S-compliant and sustainable
A solid foundation for effective information security
Hospitals face the daily challenge of protecting highly sensitive health data while ensuring the continuity of clinical operations. An Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on the German industry-specific security standard for the healthcare sector (B3S Hospital) provides the foundation for achieving this.
achelos supports you in the development, implementation and continuous improvement of your ISMS – practical, efficient and tailored to your individual structures.
Many hospitals fall under the definition of critical infrastructure and, according to Section 8a of the German BSI Act (BSIG), are obliged to demonstrate an appropriate level of information security.
The industry-specific security standard for the healthcare sector (B3S Hospital) defines these requirements in greater detail and provides a recognised framework to meet legal obligations efficiently and to anchor information security sustainably within the organisation.
