Implementing NEN 7510 often seems like an enormous amount of work. The fear that processes will have to be overhauled, that care will be compromised, or that costs will get out of hand keeps growing.
Our baseline measurement takes that uncertainty away. It is the starting signal for your implementation process. Before we write a single line of policy, we look at what is already in place.
Whether you are a healthcare institution, practice, or supplier: without realising it, you are already doing many things right in the area of patient privacy and data security. We make that visible.

Whether you are a healthcare institution, practice, or supplier: you are already doing many things right, often without realizing it, when it comes to patient privacy and data security. We make sure that becomes visible.

A deep dive into your organization, without disruption.
Our consultant visits, in person or online, for an in-depth review. We compare your current situation with the requirements of NEN 7510. We look at things such as:
.
.
Physical security: How is access to buildings and server rooms arranged?
Digital access: How are login details handled (MFA, UZI cards, administration)?
Procedures: How are incidents involving patient data currently reported and handled?
Suppliers: Are there processor agreements with parties that have access to healthcare data?

Frequently Asked Questions about the NEN 7510 Internal Audit by AuditDirect
Frequently Asked Questions about the NEN 7510 Internal Audit by AuditDirect
What exactly does a NEN 7510 baseline assessment involve, and how does it differ from a certification audit?
An NEN 7510 baseline assessment (also called a gap analysis or pre-audit) is an overall assessment of your current information security against the NEN 7510 standard framework. Unlike an official certification audit, which tests in a binary way whether you comply (yes/no), the baseline assessment is exploratory in nature.
During the baseline assessment, we map the gaps between your current controls and the information security requirements in healthcare. The result is not a certificate, but a detailed implementation plan to make your Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification-ready.

Is an NEN 7510 initial assessment mandatory for healthcare organizations and suppliers?
Although the baseline measurement itself is not a legal requirement, compliance with NEN 7510 often is. The Healthcare and Youth Inspectorate (IGJ) and the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) regard NEN 7510 as the standard for appropriate security as required in the GDPR (Article 32).
For healthcare organizations, NEN 7510 is often a strict requirement from health insurers. For suppliers (such as SaaS providers in healthcare or MSPs), the baseline measurement is the first essential step in showing that they handle health data safely, which is often a disqualifying criterion in tenders.

What is the relationship between the baseline assessment, the risk analysis, and the Statement of Applicability (SoA)?
The baseline assessment lays the foundation for these documents. Without insight into your current situation (the baseline assessment), it is impossible to carry out an accurate risk analysis.
Baseline assessment: Determines what is already in place and what is missing.
Risk analysis: Determines the impact and likelihood of threats to the missing parts.
Statement of Applicability (SoA): This is a required document for certification in which you indicate, for each control measure from the standard, whether it applies, whether you have implemented it, and why or why not. The input from the baseline assessment directly fills in large parts of your SoA.

How much time does it take to be ready for NEN 7510 certification after an initial assessment?
The lead time (time-to-certification) depends heavily on the maturity of your current ISMS and the results of the gap analysis.
Scenario A (Basics in order): If policy documents are in place and IT management is structured, the process after the baseline assessment takes an average of 3 to 6 months.
Scenario B (Start phase): If there is no formal policy yet, you should allow for 6 to 12 months. The baseline assessment gives you a realistic estimate of this timeline, so you will not face surprises during the external audit.

Does the baseline assessment also provide evidence for GDPR accountability?
Yes, absolutely. The accountability (responsibility) requirement under the GDPR requires that you can demonstrate that you are "in control" of personal data. The baseline measurement report serves as direct evidence that your organization is actively working on information security. It shows that you identify risks and work on continuous improvement, which is essential in the event of any inspections by the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
