EVYD Technology Achieves ISO27001:2022, Reinforcing Our Commitment to World-Class Information Security
The healthcare landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data. These technologies hold immense promise for accelerating discoveries, personalizing treatments, and optimizing care delivery. However, harnessing this potential requires navigating a complex environment where the sensitivity of health information is paramount. As we develop and deploy sophisticated AI and Big Data solutions for healthcare, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the underlying data is not just a best practice – it is a fundamental requirement for building trust and enabling responsible innovation.
The sheer volume, velocity, and variety of healthcare data, combined with the intricacies of AI algorithms, demand a robust, systematic approach to information security. Protecting these critical assets against evolving cyber threats, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining the confidence of clients and partners requires more than standard security measures; it necessitates adherence to the highest global benchmarks for information system management.
Particularly in fields reliant on sensitive or proprietary side – analogous to the precision health sector where managing complex biomedical datasets is paramount – the ability to securely manage information transcends mere technical necessity. It forms the bedrock of trust, enal
A Milestone Achievement: Announcing Our ISO27001:2022 Certification for AI and Big Data in Healthcare Solutions
EVYD Technology is proud to announce that we have achieved ISO/IEC27001:2022 certification for our Information Security Management System (ISMS) governing our AI and Big Data in Healthcare Solutions. This accomplishment, certified by SOCOTEC, formally validates our rigorous standards and unwavering dedication to implementing and maintaining world-class information security practices specifically within this critical and sensitive domain.
This certification serves as an independent verification, confirmed through a rigorous audit process conducted by SOCOTEC, that our systems, processes, and controls for managing information security related to our healthcare AI and Big Data offerings meet the demanding requirements of the latest international standard.
Understanding ISO 27001:2022: The Modernized Global Standard
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the updated, globally recognized international standards for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This transition reflects a strategic commitment to enhanced resilience, smarter risk management, and clearer communication. The 2022 version features:
- Updated Controls: 11 new controls tailored to emerging risks like threat intelligence, information security for cloud services, and secure coding practices
- Reorganized Structure: Controls are now grouped into four clear themes – Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological – for better clarity
- Improved Alignment: Enhanced language and structure align better with other ISO management standards, reducing ambiguity
- Proactive Emphasis: A stronger focus on proactive measures such as threat monitoring and supplier risk management
Why This Matters for Healthcare AI and Big Data
Handling healthcare data, especially Protected Health Information (PHI), demands the highest level of security and compliance. AI and Big Data technologies introduce immense potential but also unique security challenges. ISO 27001:2022 provides a robust framework specifically designed to address these contemporary challenges.
What Our ISO 27001:2022 Certification Means for Our Clients & Partners
Achieving this certification translates directly to tangible assurances for the healthcare organizations and professionals who rely on our platforms:
1. Up-to-Date with the Latest Global Standard: We adhere to the 2022 version, which directly addresses today’s cyber risk landscape, including cloud security risks and supply chain vulnerabilities relevant to healthcare technology.
2. Stronger Safeguards Around Your Data: We’ve implemented enhanced controls specifically focused on cloud security, proactive threat detection, secure software development for our AI platforms, and rigorous vendor risk assessments.
3. Greater Transparency and Accountability: The updated framework requires clearer documentation and reporting around risks and security decisions, improving how we communicate security posture and value to you.
4. Faster, Better Response to Disruptions: We’ve improved our operational resilience through stronger incident response capabilities and updated business continuity testing, including specific scenarios like ransomware attacks.
New Security Improvements Implemented
Transitioning to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard involved more than updating documentation; it required tangible enhancements to our security posture. Key improvements implemented include:
- Introduced a Threat Intelligence Program: We now subscribe to threat intelligence feeds and have formalized processes for monitoring, analyzing, and acting on relevant cyber threat information, aligning with control A.5.7.
- Improved Secure Development Practices: Secure coding checklists, enhanced code review processes, and static analysis tools are now integrated into our Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), supporting control A.8.28.
- Formalized Vendor Risk Assessments: We adopted a new third-party risk assessment framework aligned with ISO controls (A.5.19-A.5.23), including updated requirements for contracts and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
- Enhanced Data Protection Measures: Data masking techniques (A.8.11) have been implemented, and access control reviews for production and backup environments have been strengthened to further protect sensitive data.
- Updated Business Continuity Testing: We introduced structured table-top testing for disaster recovery and ransomware scenarios (related to A.5.30), ensuring our plans are robust and lessons learned are used for refinement.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Achieving ISO 27001:2022 certification is not an endpoint, but a testament to our ongoing commitment to security excellence. Information security is a continuous process of assessment, improvement and adaptation. We remain dedicated to maintaining and enhancing our security posture to protect our clients’ data and earn their continued trust in the dynamic field of healthcare technology
We believe this certification further solidifies our position as a trusted partner, dedicated to providing secure, innovative AI and Big Data solutions that empower better healthcare outcomes.
