NEN 7512: Secure Interoperability in Healthcare
Establish a sound basis for patient trust with senior-led certification tailored to the rigorous requirements of Dutch healthcare information security.
Trust Beyond Organizational Boundaries
Information security in healthcare does not end at the firewall. As the medical ecosystem becomes increasingly interconnected, the secure transfer of patient data between healthcare providers, insurers, and technology partners is a critical vulnerability.
Stakeholders require verified assurance that data in transit remains integer and confidential. A NEN 7512 certificate from Noordbeek validates your organization’s ability to manage the „chain of trust,” ensuring that interoperability does not compromise patient privacy or regulatory compliance.

Comprehensive Communication Security
We provide certification according to the NEN 7512 standard, focusing on the technical and organizational safeguards required for the secure exchange of health information (Zorginformatie).
Communication Process Security
We evaluate the protocols and technical measures used to protect data during transmission between parties.
Mutual Trust & Identification
Our audit assesses the mechanisms for identification, authentication, and authorization of the parties involved in the exchange process.
Integrity & Non-Repudiation
We verify that exchanged information cannot be altered unnoticed and that the origin and receipt of the data are technically verifiable.
Technical Proficiency from Day One
We move beyond the binary „checklist” approach. Our auditors understand the technical complexities of healthcare networks and data exchange standards.
Senior Lead Auditors
Your audit is conducted by veterans who understand the technical architecture of healthcare interoperability. We eliminate the need for client-led orientation regarding complex communication flows.
Pragmatic Assessment
We focus on the functional effectiveness of your exchange controls. Our goal is to ensure your certificate is both reliable and technically substantiated.
Independent Governance
To maintain absolute impartiality, certification decisions are made by our Independent Certification Committee—decoupling the judgment from the field audit team.
Formally Recognized Authority
Noordbeek Certification is an accredited body supervised by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA). This oversight ensures that your NEN 7512 certification carries the necessary weight with Dutch regulators, healthcare insurers, and partners in the medical supply chain.
