Revised NEN 7510 published
To keep quality standards relevant and up-to-date, they are periodically revised. Following the revision of ISO 27001 in 2022, a new version of the NEN 7510 has recently been published. Below, we highlight some of the key changes in the NEN 7510:2024.
The NEN 7510:2024 includes controls and practical guidelines for information security management systems (ISMS) in the healthcare sector. The revised standard aligns with ISO 27001:2022. Additionally, the NEN 7510:2024 has been streamlined from fourteen chapters to four themes: People, Physical, Technology and Organization. The number of controls has been reduced—partly through consolidation—to 93 general controls and eight healthcare-specific controls. The new controls are also based on the NIS2 directive.
No longer optional
The implementation guidelines are no longer optional. Organizations must indicate in the Statement of Applicability (Dutch: Verklaring van Toepasselijkheid (VvT)) whether they comply with the guideline as outlined in NEN 7510-2. If not, the Statement of Applicability must explain why there is a deviation and how it is addressed.
Transition period
As usual, a transition period applies following the publication of the new standard. This means you don’t need to switch to the new standard immediately. Once the details of the transition period and assessment approach are finalized, we will inform you. Our auditors, who have gained extensive experience with the transition to ISO 27001:2022, can also assist you in transitioning to the revised NEN 7510 standard.
ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certification?
Does your organization hold both ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications? Then transitioning to the revised NEN 7510 will likely be relatively straightforward, as the foundation provided by ISO 27001 has already been updated.
