ISO 27001 is a specification for an information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS is a framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical, and technical controls involved in an organization’s information risk management process.

We have always been committed to providing our patients top-class care and an assurance that their personal information is safe with us. With the IS027001 certification, we have taken yet another positive step towards reinforcing our pledge.
