The document discusses the certification and securing of a trusted environment for health informatics research data at the University of Dundee. It provides an overview of the Health Informatics Centre, its research data management platform, safe haven architecture, and ISO27001 certification. The platform standardizes data extraction and release, adds metadata and quality checks. A safe haven uses pseudonymized data and virtual environments prevent data from leaving. ISO27001 certification provides governance and reduces documentation through standardized information security practices.

- 15. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic • Extraction takes minutes • Data released is standardised – the same regardless of Data Analyst that completes the work • A history is recorded of all changes to data over time • Data released now will be in the same format as in 5 years from now • Metadata has been added • Methods for transforming and validations have been added across all data sets • Tools to manage and explore the data are available to Data Management team and researchers • Audit and Logging all automated • Major work towards integration of image and genomic data
- 17. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic • Standard restrictive VDI solution • VMWare View / Horizon
- 18. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic • AppVolumes used for Applications • Bring Your Own License • Lots of Application Variations!
- 19. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic • There are many types of ISO Certification. • We have 27001:2013 – Certificate Number: 2016/2269 • ISO 27001:2013 is a specification for an information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS is a framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an organisation's information risk management processes. What is ISO27001?
- 20. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic Why ISO27001 certification? • Independent set of standards – so rather than constantly having to think what documents and processes we should have in place and reinventing the wheel, ISO gives us this! • Gives confidence to other organisations we work with e.g. NHS, main University. • Reduces other documentation requirements for governance, as we can just reference ISO documentation. • Improves the working practices of HIC. This has been particularly the case with our hardware infrastructure. • Key towards Scottish Government Safe Haven Accreditation.
- 21. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic Scottish Government Safe Haven Accreditation • 27001 standard controls PLUS some additional ones specific to Safe Havens. • Reviewed by Scottish Government eHealth. • Documentation Required: • Risk Assessment Doc • Mapping of Controls
- 23. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic Scope “The provision of data to researchers via safe haven environment, secure patient recruitment, data collection using software tools, data entry, the development and operation of web based applications and all assets underpinning the provision of those services from the locations of HIC premises at Ninewells Hospital and data centres within the University of Dundee Campus”

- 27. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic Structure of Docs in Box Become aware of an improvement of our current procedure Take a copy of Procedure from “Live” folder and move to “Under Development”. Draft change using tracked changes. Ask Technical Manager to review. Technical Manager moves the doc they have approved to “Awaiting Approval Folder” and asks for it to be included in HIC Exec Meeting Agenda for review. If approved at HIC Exec either formally approved or sent to HIC Information Governance Committee for additional formal approval (if document type requires) Approved doc is moved to “Live” folder by HIC Admin Procedure Changes

- 29. Health Informatics Centre dundee.ac.uk/hic Timelines • Help from University’s Information Security Officer (Graham McKay) to get us up to the required standard. • Passed our Stage 1 audit of our documentation in June 2015. • Passed our Stage 2 audit of our systems (do we do what we say we do in our documentation) in Jan 2016. • Passed second Stage 2 audit July 2016 • Now have full audits every 6 months for the next 3 years!
