The security system of the information protects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information. A strong security system will be helpful, as it will prevent the data theft, thwarting identity theft, avoiding the legal consequences for not adopting a strong security system for the information, maintaining the productivity and avoiding the cyber terrorism. Therefore, the organisation needs to adopt a strong and secured security policy to protect their information. Policy is an organisation’s grand plan or strategy that defines the overall goals and objectives. Security policy has four important aspects (Helms, 2019). The assets of healthcare information security must be identified, the identification should be done who will be responsible for classifying and valuing information assets, describing the role that should be played by the staffs of hospital regarding the information security, and finally constructing an effective infrastructure for information.
The techniques that will be applied for the enhanced security system must be technically sophisticated, as that will be effective in protecting the information. The information security system will have two levels, one is vertical...
