Healthcare providers must appoint a trained DPO to manage compliance, handle data protection requests, and oversee incident response. This is a core requirement under the HIA.
Providers must have a robust incident response plan and notify MOH within two hours of a significant cybersecurity incident or data breach.
By enforcing robust cybersecurity and data protection measures, HIA ensures that patient data remains accurate, secure, and accessible for seamless care continuity.
CyberSafe offers comprehensive solutions tailored to healthcare providers, including:
CyberSafe simplifies the compliance process, ensuring your clinic meets the requirements of both Cyber Essentials and the HIA. Our all-in-one solutions reduce effort and cost while providing comprehensive protection and compliance support.
While it’s possible to manage HIA compliance in-house, it requires significant time, expertise, and resources. HIA mandates detailed activities like data classification, vendor assessments, and incident reporting within strict timelines. For clinics without a dedicated cybersecurity team, this can be overwhelming and time-consuming, potentially impacting patient care. Partnering with a trusted provider like CyberSafe ensures efficient, expert compliance management.
The time required depends on your current setup and readiness. On average, CyberSafe helps clinics achieve compliance within 2-4 weeks. This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing required controls, and training staff on cybersecurity practices.
