NEN 7510 is an English standard for information security in the healthcare sector.
The NEN 7510 is a Dutch standard developed by the NEN. This norm is the standard in the field of information security in healthcare. The standard is based in structure on ISO27001, but has additional healthcare-specific measures. The standard is intended for Healthcare Providers and Personal Health Information Managers, ICT service providers. With a NEN 7510 certification, you demonstrate that you have a well-functioning information security management system, where personal health information, such as patient data at your company, is properly secured.

Is NEN 7510 certification mandatory?
Nowadays, both those responsible for an electronic exchange system and healthcare providers must comply with NEN 7510 and NEN 7512 based on the Healthcare Providers Electronic Data Processing Decree. The person responsible for an electronic exchange system should also work with a healthcare service provider authorised on the basis of criteria established in accordance with NEN 7512.
Following recent debacles, the government wants healthcare providers or those responsible for an electronic exchange system to handle personal health information with increasing care. A NEN 7510 is the way to demonstrate to clients and society that there is a functioning management system for information security.

NEN 7510 and/or ISO 27001?
If you have a NEN7510 certification then it will remain on the current version. After all, no new version of this standard is available yet. If you have both ISO27001 and NEN7510 certification, you can already switch to the new standard with your current ISO27001 certification. This will create a situation of 'old and new' mixed up in your ISMS.
The administrator/owner of this standard is the NEN. Because a new version of ISO 27001 has been released, the NEN standards committee is currently working on a new version of NEN7510 as well. This is only expected to be finalised and published during 2024.

How can you obtain NEN 7510 certification?
You must first ensure yourself that you have a working ISMS (information security management system) and what meets the standard requirements. You can do this all by yourself or let a consulting firm guide you.
If you believe you meet the standard, you can have it assessed by DigiTrust via a NEN 7510 audit. Our certification process has a number of logical steps.
During the Pre-audit, we check whether you are ready for certification. What is the status of the management system? Are there any issues that may not be in order? Together with you, DigiTrust can determine which topics should be covered during this pre-audit. We also determine the duration together. Usually this is between 2 and 4 days for a good picture of the management system and all control measures. After each pre-audit, DigiTrust provides you with a clear audit report, describing in detail where you may not yet be working in accordance with the NEN 7510 standard requirements.
Tip; this is a frequently chosen option. It allows you to really start the process and immediately get a good idea of where you stand as an organisation. DigiTrust does not give advice how you need to resolve potential issues. We give your organisation, by carrying out the audit you get a clean picture of your current situation.
