The impact of NIS2 on Swedish healthcare software services Passed

Wednesday May 15, 2024 11:30 - 12:00 A2

Lecturer: Lars Larsson

Track: Cyber ​​security

By imposing more strict cybersecurity requirements, NIS2 aims to enhance the overall security posture of critical healthcare entities such as SaaS companies and the sensitive data they manage. This heightened focus on cybersecurity translates into increased protection for patient data, fostering trust and confidence in digital healthcare services.


SaaS companies may need to invest significantly in cybersecurity measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical healthcare systems and data. The impact on these companies could be both financial and operational, requiring adjustments to their business models and infrastructure. But the goal is clear: ensuring patient data is more secure, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches.

Moreover, the emphasis on compliance with NIS2 aligns with broader data protection regulations like GDPR and healthcare specific regulations like MDR and the Swedish Patient Data Law. NIS2 becomes national law that harmonizes with the legal landscape, here in Sweden, as defined by MSB. The integrated approach ensures a comprehensive safeguarding of patient privacy. The positive impact extends beyond immediate cybersecurity concerns to include a culture of responsible data management and ethical handling of sensitive information.

As SaaS companies adapt to the regulatory landscape, the resulting improvements in cybersecurity not only mitigate risks but also position these companies as trustworthy partners in the healthcare ecosystem. Patients benefit from knowing that their data is handled with the utmost care, fostering greater acceptance and utilization of digital healthcare services.

In this talk, learn about the impact of NIS2 on SaaS companies delivering services to the healthcare sector in Sweden and Europe. How it likely involves heightened cybersecurity requirements, increased compliance efforts, and a potential shift in operational strategies to meet the evolving regulatory landscape.

Companies that proactively adapt to these changes strengthen their positions in the market, demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity and the protection of sensitive healthcare information. Learn how to be among those that do, and how modern tools and technology cost-effectively support your security stance to live up to the requirements of NIS2.

Ultimately, the implementation of NIS2 can be seen as a constructive step towards a more secure and resilient digital healthcare environment, promoting the well-being and privacy of patients across Europe.
