Information security policies and processes
Orion Health has adopted an internationally recognised information security management standard, ISO 27001:2013, in order to provide a systematic approach to managing confidential and sensitive information so that it remains secure. Using this standard as a baseline, Orion Health implements an Information Security Policy to control the governance and protection of our customers’ information assets under our care, as well as our own information. Our Information Security Policy is supported by a collection of administrative, technical, and physical policies and processes aligned with best practice advised by ISO 27002:2013 and expected by Article 32 GDPR. These policies and procedures ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personal data (including health data) and protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information.

The Information Security policy is approved by senior management and subject to continuous, systematic review and improvement. Orion Health has established a “secure by design” program that considers security as integral to the service lifecycle and regularly engages employees in Information Security, Privacy, and Code of Conduct training.
