CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNetX®, a global leader in real-world data and evidence insights, has announced that its TriNetX LIVE™ platform has received high-level certification from Spain’s National Security Scheme (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad, ENS). This certification signifies TriNetX's commitment to stringent data protection measures, fully aligning with the ENS standards that govern the security and management of healthcare data.
With the increasing digitization of patient records, data security has become critical in healthcare. Spain's healthcare sector, like the global landscape, faces significant cybersecurity threats, experiencing nearly 2,000 attacks weekly. Such incidents not only jeopardize patient privacy but also pose substantial risks to healthcare delivery, costing the industry nearly $10 million per breach in the last year alone.
The ENS framework provides essential guidelines for safeguarding information systems within public administrations and private entities that interact with them. It complements the broader European standards set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and establishes comprehensive principles covering risk management, compliance, and incident response. Achieving ENS certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented robust security practices, reassuring stakeholders of its commitment to data integrity.
Gadi Lachman, President and CEO of TriNetX, emphasized the importance of protecting sensitive patient data, stating, “We couldn't be prouder of our ENS certification, which reinforces our commitment to securing healthcare data for clinical research and drug discovery.”
The ENS-certified TriNetX LIVE™ platform is recognized as the largest global health research network, utilized by researchers worldwide to analyze clinical trial protocols across diverse therapeutic areas. TriNetX’s achievement sets a new standard for data protection within Spain's healthcare sector, contributing significantly to the ongoing evolution of data security practices.
