"If you look at the latest change to the privacy statement on any website, you will see that the last change often dates from early 2018: the moment that the GDPR officially replaced the Dutch Act "Wet bescherming persoonsgegevens" (Personal Data Protection Act).

As more and more patient data is stored in digital files, secure access to this data is a real necessity.

You are even legally obliged to secure your website or webshop adequately.

It is not a question of whether you will be hacked, but when. And if it happens, it is essential that you can demonstrate that you have done everything possible to protect company and personal data. But how do you prove this?
