Testimonials
We were new to compliance and ISO 27001 implementation and had to go through the sophisticated certification process. Puzzled by the regulatory complexity, we wanted to find the best way for us to get started. Our project manager (aka security officer) had never worked with such compliance aspects and rules before. So we decided to get third-party assistance and signed up with Compliance Aspekte. Their guided approach has played a vital role for us. They had all the detailed explanations for compliance checks and risk analyses, including suggestions on how to handle it practically.
One of the features we like best about Compliance Aspekte is its streamlined compliance process. At every stage during the security management lifecycle process, recurring tasks like scoping, structural analysis, modeling, and even tracking risks and controls are supported by a variety of features, e.g. mapping controls with multiple requirements, assigning individual assets to different scopes as well as expanding requirement and control catalogs. Having Helga, the compliance assistance bot, is also a very special plus as she can explain terms and provides guidance through the application. We really love and live Compliance Aspekte!
Compliance Aspekte is very user-friendly and customization is easy. We can conduct ISO compliance, and data protection…we can make anything we want in one tool. And this is the only tool with which it is possible. It helps us to keep the data consistent and simplify audits. The Compliance Aspekte tool is better than the existing competitors on the market and at the same time cheaper.
B3S essentials: Quick guide
What is B3S?
B3S is an industry-specific standard in the healthcare industry that provides clear requirements and measures for operators of critical infrastructures such as hospitals to implement an information security management system.
The German Hospital Association has created this standard to improve information technology security in the industry.
Why is your company obliged to be compliant with B3S?
Starting January 1, 2022, all German hospitals must adopt “state-of-the-art” information security measures. The new Section 75c SGB V extends the obligation for KRITIS hospitals (§ 8a BSI Act) to non-KRITIS hospitals.
This requires hospital management to prioritize implementing an information security management system (ISMS) alongside technical measures.
What are the basis and content of the B3S?
The basis for the B3S is an information security management system (ISMS) according to ISO 27001.
The B3S includes 168 measures to ensure resilient information technology, medical care, and patient health. The measures are divided into must, should, and optional requirements. The focus is on the 4 protection goals of information security: availability, integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality.
What are the key aspects of the B3S healthcare standard?
The B3S healthcare standard focuses on:
• Interoperability: Ensuring health data can be exchanged across different systems.
• Data security: Protecting health data from unauthorized access or alteration.
• Privacy: Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
• Consent management: Allowing individuals to consent to their health data processing.
• Data quality: Ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of health data.

FAQ
It is an industry-specific standard for critical industries, also known as KRITIS sectors in Germany. It was created by industry associations for CI’s and approved by the BSI. The B3S standard represents the essential requirements for an ISMS and industry-specific security measures for IT systems.
The B3S standard for the healthcare sector focuses on
– Development and implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS)
– Development and implementation of a Data Protection Management System (DPMS)
– Development of a Risk Management System
Not long ago, implementing the B3S standard was not obligatory in hospitals covered by KRITIS. However, with the high risks of damage that cyber threats can cause the critical healthcare infrastructure, starting from January 1, 2022, all hospitals in Germany have been legally obliged to implement the industry-specific security standard approved by the BSI IT-Grundschutz.
Thus, it has been compulsory for all hospitals to take state-of-the-art organizational and technical precautions to avoid disruptions to data availability, integrity, and confidentiality.
