Healthcare software applications support the daily work of physicians, pharmacists and other medical professionals, while also managing significant volumes of data and sensitive information. In this context, information security is no longer merely a technical requirement but a fundamental responsibility.
Therefore, the Cegedim RX team is pleased to announce that it has obtained the ISO 27001 certification, the international benchmark for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This certification confirms that our organization implements and maintains rigorous processes, policies, and controls to protect information, manage risks, and ensure service continuity.
For the clients, partners, and users of the software solutions we develop, this recognition serves as an additional guarantee that information security is integrated into the way our company designs, develops, and delivers the software applications and services we offer.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the most important international standard dedicated to information security management. It establishes a framework of best practices through which organizations identify, assess, and manage the risks associated with the information they manage.
Obtaining this certification entails the implementation of a complex management system that includes, among other things:
- Assessment and treatment of security risks;
- Clear policies and procedures regarding information protection;
- Technical and organizational security measures;
- Continuous monitoring and ongoing improvement of processes;
- Periodic audits conducted by independent bodies.
The certification demonstrates that information security is addressed in a systematic and verifiable manner, in accordance with an internationally recognized standard.
Why is ISO 27001 certification important in software development for the medical and pharmaceutical sector?
The healthcare sector increasingly relies on digital solutions to manage daily operations, data, and workflows. At the same time, this information falls into one of the most sensitive data categories and requires a high level of protection.
In this context, choosing a software provider that applies international security standards becomes an important criterion for any medical practice, pharmacy, clinic, or organization in the medical and pharmaceutical field.
Through ISO 27001 certification, Cegedim RX demonstrates that information security is integrated into the company’s processes and represents an essential component of the development of software applications for healthcare professionals.
What does this certification mean for Cegedim RX’s clients and partners?
Obtaining ISO 27001 certification brings tangible benefits to all organizations using software solutions developed by Cegedim RX:
Greater confidence in the utilized solutions
The certification confirms the existence of an information security management system validated by an independent body, providing an additional level of confidence in both the solutions and services offered by our company and the underlying processes.
Information protection and risk management
Information security entails not only modern, secure technologies but also well-defined processes for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks throughout the value chain. ISO 27001 certifies that these processes are implemented and continuously reviewed within Cegedim RX.
Service continuity
The software applications we develop support the daily work of physicians and pharmacists, ultimately benefiting patients. Service continuity is a fundamental part of our commitment to them. The ISO 27001 standard imposes requirements that contribute to the operational resilience of our solutions and the efficient management of potential security incidents.
A partner focused on compliance and best practices
ISO 27001 certification reflects our company’s ongoing commitment to adhering to international best practices in cybersecurity and information protection. This complements the ISO 9001 certification for the quality management system, which has been implemented and maintained within Cegedim RX for over 12 years.
An important step towards alignment with the new European cybersecurity requirements
Obtaining ISO 27001 certification also represents an important step in the process of adapting to new European cybersecurity requirements, including those set out in the NIS2 Directive.
In a landscape where cyber threats are constantly evolving, healthcare organizations need technology partners that continuously invest in security, risk management, and compliance.
For Cegedim RX, the ISO 27001 certification does not mark the end of a process, but rather the reinforcement of a strategic direction focused on developing increasingly secure and high-performance software applications.
A long-term commitment to quality and security
The quality of software products is defined not only by functionality or performance but also by how they protect information and meet current security requirements.
ISO 27001 certification reaffirms that Cegedim RX software application development is based on controlled processes, continuous improvement, and adherence to international best practices for information security management.
In the coming period, our company will continue to invest in technologies, processes, and new security measures so that the entire Cegedim RX solutions portfolio consistently meets the challenges of a digital ecosystem undergoing continuous transformation.
Looking towards the future with the same sense of responsibility
Obtaining ISO 27001 certification confirms Cegedim RX’s commitment to its clients, partners, and the entire medical community. It is an international recognition of the responsible manner in which our teams manage information security and develop software solutions for the healthcare sector.
