What is the "Health Data Hosting" certification ?
Health data or personal health data means data relating to the past, present or future physical or mental health of a natural person which reveal information about his or her state of health. Today, HDS certification has become mandatory for all hosts of such data. All companies that host and exploit health data (related to prevention, diagnosis, care or social and medico-social monitoring activities), or that perform backups on behalf of a health institution or third party, must be HDS certified.
The processing of these data requiring hosting must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 relating to computers, files and freedoms.
3 categories of health data
Information relating to medical history, illnesses, care provided, test results, etc., are not included.
Cross-referencing an individual's height and weight to calculate his or her body mass index (BMI), for example.
Aggregates certain information that may be used, such as the collection of data on a person's ethnic origin, in order to better assess the risk of pathologies and to be able to adapt treatment accordingly.
It is by complying with these provisions that NetExplorer, the Cloud specialist, obtained its certification.
Who must be certified as a "Health Data Hosting Company" ?
As mentioned before, all public or private organizations that host, use health data, or perform backups on behalf of a health care institution or a third party, must be HDS certified (this does not include institutions that manage their own Health Information System).
This certification concerns first of all the datacenters hosting the health data (this is the case for NetExplorer), the editors who operate and maintain the Health Information System for their customers, and finally, more broadly, any solution that exploits health data.
Two types of certifications on digital media
It concerns organisations that provide and maintain in operational condition the physical sites and physical infrastructure for the processing of health data.
It concerns the organizations that make available and maintain in operational condition the virtual infrastructure and hosting platform for health data. These organisations must also manage the administration, operation and outsourced backup of the information system containing the health data.
Our NetExplorer structure is HDS certified for all these activities described above and is present in the list of certified hosting providers.
How did NetExplorer obtain the "Health Data Hosting" certification ?
Personal health data are particularly sensitive and must be hosted under security conditions appropriate to their criticality. The hosting modalities of these data must be managed by a third party certified by a certifying body itself approved by COFRAC. In the case of NetExplorer, BSI was the certifying body.
The HDS certification referential is based on international certification standards as well as additional requirements such as ISO 27001 certification. Once the HDS certification project and its scope have been validated with the certifying body, the compliance process is punctuated by 3 key steps: implementation, audit and obtaining certification (as a "Physical Infrastructure Hosting Provider" and/or "Managed Hosting Provider").
At the end of these steps, NetExplorer has received the certificate, which is issued for a period of three years by the certification body and a surveillance audit is carried out every year.
The 3 key steps to obtain certification
The organization that wishes to host health data must set up within its structure an ISMS (Information Security Management System) compliant with the HDS standard
A documentary audit (to determine the documentary compliance of the system) as well as an on-site compliance audit are carried out. At the end of these two audits, any non-conformities that the health data host must rectify are pointed out.
The health data host obtains an HDS certificate mentioning the perimeter "physical infrastructure host" and/or "managed host" depending on the activities described above.
