The Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard (ADHICS) provides a framework for healthcare organizations handling sensitive information. Its practical focus includes confidentiality, integrity and availability of data; risk-based governance; access control; incident response; business continuity; and continuous monitoring.
Organizations should connect security with operations
- Define ownership across leadership, clinical, technology and compliance teams.
- Assess risks introduced by connected devices, cloud services, AI and third-party access.
- Test incident-response and recovery plans before an event occurs.
Strong cyber resilience protects continuity of care and reinforces the patient trust on which digital healthcare depends.
