In the digital age, where data security is of utmost importance, healthcare providers must adhere to stringent standards to protect sensitive information. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed the ISO 27001 certification to ensure that organizations implement robust information security management systems (ISMS). Medikapro is proud to be ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of data security and confidentiality. Let’s delve into the significance of ISO 27001 certification and how it benefits healthcare providers.
