Co-Auditor

St. Franziskus Hospital GmbH

As co-auditor, I took part in planning and conducting the B3S audit at the KRITIS hospital, including reviewing documents (ISMS according to ISO 27001/B3S, security concepts, risk analyses), preparing and conducting interviews with departments, and inspecting clinical and IT-relevant areas.

I independently evaluated assigned control areas (e.g. information security organization, emergency and continuity management, technical and organizational measures) based on the B3S Medical Care and the legal KRITIS requirements, and formulated findings and recommendations for improvement.

I supported the lead auditor in consolidating the results, preparing the audit report, and deriving measures to improve information and patient security in the hospital.
