An effective ISMS in cancer care involves several key components:
1. Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks to patient data, including cyber threats, internal breaches, and physical risks. 2. Policies and Procedures: Develop and implement policies that govern the handling, storage, and sharing of sensitive information. 3. Access Control: Limit access to sensitive data to authorized personnel only. Use multi-factor authentication and regular audits to ensure compliance. 4. Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both in transit and at rest to protect it from unauthorized access. 5. Incident Response: Establish a protocol for responding to data breaches or other security incidents, including notifying affected parties and mitigating damage.
