Software in healthcare: what does NEN 7510 mean?

Working with medical data? Then NEN 7510 applies. We explain in clear language what that involves.

Healthcare has stricter information-security rules than many other sectors. The key standard is NEN 7510.

What is NEN 7510?

NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security in healthcare. It describes how to handle medical and personal data securely — who has access, how data is protected and how you make that demonstrable.

What does this mean for software?

Software that processes healthcare data must meet these requirements: secure access, encryption, logging and storage within the EU.

How we handle it

We build with security and privacy as the starting point and account for sector-specific standards like NEN 7510. That keeps you compliant and working smarter.
