The classified protection assessment, also known as the information system security level protection assessment, is to ensure the security and reliability of the information system, which can be explained from the following five points:
Legal and regulatory requirements: The laws and regulations of many countries and regions have put forward specific requirements for the security of information systems in medical institutions. Hospitals are required to conduct classified protection assessments to ensure they comply with relevant regulations and regulations to avoid violations of the law and protect patient privacy and sensitive information.
Protecting patient information: Hospitals handle large amounts of sensitive patient information, including personal identities, medical records, diagnostic results, and more. The disclosure or unauthorized access to this information can lead to serious consequences, such as identity theft, medical fraud, or compromised patient trust. Classified protection assessments help identify and fix possible security vulnerabilities and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of patient information.
Addressing cybersecurity threats: Hospital information systems can be the target of cyberattacks, such as zombie worms, ransomware, data breaches, and application services software security risks. In order to deal with these threats, hospitals need to carry out classified protection assessments, strengthen network security protection measures, and ensure the security and stability of medical networks.
Improving emergency response capabilities: It is very necessary for hospitals to strengthen the emergency training capabilities of relevant personnel in the medical system and respond quickly to emergencies. Through classified protection assessments, hospitals can improve their emergency response capabilities and ensure that they can respond quickly and effectively to security threats.
Improve the reliability of the information system: The hospital's information system must maintain high reliability in its daily operation to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of patient data. The classified protection assessment can evaluate the fault tolerance and availability of the system, identify potential single points of failure or performance bottlenecks, and take corresponding measures to improve the reliability and stability of the system.
Protect a hospital's reputation: An information system security incident can have a negative impact on a hospital's reputation. By conducting classified protection assessments and taking appropriate security measures, hospitals can improve the security of their information systems, convey the importance of information security to patients and the public, and enhance the credibility and credibility of hospitals.
