Independent certification

Healthcare

Healthcare organizations need to assess the suppliers that handle their information and support their services.

Healthcare technology, procurement and supporting services

The sector's security needs

Why seek independent assurance?

The Canadian Cyber Centre identifies sensitive information and disruption of important processes as concerns for healthcare organizations. Suppliers contribute to that exposure through the data they receive and the systems their customers rely on. Complade's examples in this sector include healthcare procurement, benefits administration and digital health services.

Choosing a certification

Information security management

ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is relevant where a provider needs systematic information security management across services, suppliers and customer obligations. Certification assesses that management system, giving buyers evidence beyond a description of individual security tools.

Baseline cybersecurity requirements

CyberSecure Canada

CyberSecure Canada is relevant when a healthcare supplier needs independent assessment of baseline cybersecurity practices. Buyers can consider the certificate as part of their supplier review, checking that the activities they rely on are within scope.

When do both make sense?

Both can be appropriate when customers specify different certification requirements. A shared set of controls may contribute to both, but the scope and requirements of each must be checked separately.

Complade considers whether audit activities can be coordinated during application review. Audit time and fees are confirmed in the proposal.

  • Which services and suppliers support its processing?
  • Does the proposed scope cover the service the customer is evaluating?
