    Data management challenges for healthcare organizations

    Here are some specific areas that organizations in the healthcare industry should be concerned about.

    • The GDPR outlines specific rights for data subjects — for example, the “right to be forgotten,” as well as accessibility, portability, and more. Organizations must also gain explicit consent for processing if they don’t fall under other lawful bases of handling personal and health data. It is the responsibility of the healthcare organization to create a system so that the subject can exercise all these rights. This requires some time and effort — from reorganizing data to installing new software and setting new archiving policies.
    • For years, healthcare organizations have been highly targeted by cybercriminals looking to profit from the unique and valuable data they store. These threat actors target victims using different methods such as ransomware, phishing, malicious spam, and so on. Data breaches that put individuals at risk can be fined.
    • There are many exposed devices in homes and enterprises across the globe, which are left unsecured and vulnerable to hackers. In healthcare, unsecured medical internet of things (IoT) devices contain confidential patient information, test results, and medical images. Organizations have to use devices with adequate built-in security, or install solutions to secure the data stored in them.
    • Connected hospitals have to look out for supply chain compromise. Some third-party suppliers develop unique partnerships with healthcare organizations and have access to sensitive data and devices. This has its risks. Cyberattacks in the supply chain can come through different, and sometimes atypical, vectors: firmware attacks, mobile app compromise, portal compromise, third-party vendor breaches, and even insider threats.

    Solutions and mitigation

    To comply with the GDPR, as well as protect the sensitive personal data of patients and staff, there are steps healthcare organizations can take.

    • Organizations have to retool their data management framework and adopt new policies for accessibility, archiving, organization, and protection. There should be an efficient system in place that can guarantee that data subjects can exercise all the rights outlined in the GDPR. Companies in the United States can rely on comprehensive security frameworks like HITRUST CSF®, which already incorporates the GDPR in its latest version, in addition to global standards like those of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) as well as the relevant local regulations.
    • Meanwhile, companies also have to manage the growing risk of supply chain attacks. Risk assessment is essential — companies should only work with organizations that are compliant with the GDPR and are reliable partners in data protection. Apart from that, they should perform risk assessments on suppliers, do background checks on anyone with access to databases, medical devices, and equipment, and make sure to implement efficient patching policies. Penetration testing of hospital networks by professional pen-testing companies is also highly recommended.
    • General best practices that will help secure data and hospital networks include the following: network segmentation, firewalls, antimalware solutions, Breach Detection Systems (BDS), security systems that detect and prevent network attacks, and encryption technologies. Apart from the hospital networks, medical devices, and third-party software also need to be sufficiently secured: Devices should be assessed during design and manufacturing phase; applications and software should also be assessed and be equipped with the proper security solutions.
