Information security

The requirements for security of digital and analog information are increasing with the expansion of digitalization. The aim of the Information Security department is to protect information of all types and origin – irrespective of how this information is stored. We integrate comprehensive measures for information security into the processes and projects of the company where sensitive data are processed. A top priority is given to risk management here.

In 2023, the Information Security department was part of the responsibility of the Central Service Compliance. The Information Security department supported Helios management on implementing and maintaining an information security management system (ISMS). The department also provided support for the hospitals in implementing the statutory requirements for information security, and gave advice on reporting to the supervisory authorities. We also strengthened collaboration and exchange of knowledge with Fresenius.

Since 2024, the Information Security department has been operating as a dedicated Central Service. This enables us to continue developing a company-wide organization for information security. The goal is to coordinate centrally and professionalize the protection of digital and analog information against the increase in cyber threats.
