Nhs branch awarded international security standard

The NHS Greater Manchester Shared Services has received the international information security standard ISO 27001. This is one of the first NHS organisations to receive such a prestigious information security standard, demonstrating their dedication to protecting customer and patient information from a wide range of cyber threats. IT Security Manager Phil Scott said: “There have been a number of major data breaches in the healthcare industry, which highlighted the vulnerability of the NHS to cyber-attacks. We wanted to reassure our customers that we are committed to keeping data safe and leading the way in cybersecurity, so ISO 27001 certification was the clear choice.”
