For successful digitalization in the healthcare sector, you must fulfil top-level security standards for exchanging medical data between institutions and stakeholders in the treatment process. Encrypted dispatch and receipt of personal data strengthens public trust in medical institutions. At the same time, for a health system to function properly, it is paramount that IT structures operate smoothly. If, for instance, required examination results or medical devices are not available, lives could potentially be at risk.
