Subject: Information Security Management
Dear Colleagues,
Some of you may already have picked this up from E-Health Insider:
DH releases new code of practice on information security
The Department of Health has released a new Information Security Management:
NHS Code of Practice replacing the 1996 NHS Information Management and
Technology Security Manual. The code of practice is a guide to the methods
and required standards of practice in the management of information security
for those who work within or under contract to, or in business partnership
with NHS organisations in England. It is based on current legal
requirements, relevant standards and professional best practice.
- I thought it may be of help to some libraries in their negotiations with
Trust IT departments.
Regards,
Richard
