For organizations active in the healthcare sector or processing health data (medical information), it is especially important to find a managed hosting provider where data is demonstrably in safe hands and information security and privacy are top priorities. It’s reassuring to know that Shock Media takes appropriate measures regarding information security of health data. Even better, we can prove this with our NEN 7510 certificate, which we only receive after a strict annual audit by an external certification body.

What is NEN 7510?
NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security in healthcare. In addition to safeguarding quality criteria, the NEN 7510 standard requires that information security measures be set up in a controllable way before adequate information security can be claimed. Shock Media ensures this in a structured manner by implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and integrating the NEN 7510 requirements into the processes associated with our ISO 27001 certification.

Continuous Improvement with NEN 7510 Hosting
Through this management system, we follow a cycle in which information security risks are continually assessed and appropriate technical and organizational security measures are implemented. We also constantly look for possible improvements in information security, ensure that we always comply with relevant laws and regulations, handle incidents in a structured way, and continuously report on the status of information security.

Periodic Audits and Reviews
To assess the effectiveness of our information security management system (ISMS), periodic internal audits are conducted. In addition, an annual independent external audit is performed by a certification body to check whether we meet the requirements of NEN 7510. This way, you can be sure that our services meet the high standards that you—and your clients—expect.

Scope of NEN 7510
All services offered by Shock Media fall within the scope of our NEN 7510 certification. If you wish to host medical information with Shock Media, we are happy to jointly conduct a risk analysis to establish appropriate measures. It is important to inform us of this.
