Deployment of Cybermeter in social welfare and healthcare organisations

The Cybermeter is a cyber security assessment and development tool provided by the National Cyber Security Centre Finland at the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency. It is targeted at managers of organisations as well as information security and data protection experts as a tool for cyber security management, sector-specific comparisons and steering of development investments.

In the spring of 2021, a social welfare and healthcare organisation assessed the current status of its cyber security with the support of the Kyber-Terveys project. The instructions below present the lessons learned and observations gathered concerning the status assessment process as well as the Cybermeter tool used in the assessment. The assessment was made using version 1 of Cybermeter. The goal of the instructions is to help organisations understand the amount of work required by the assessment, scope assessment appropriately and schedule the assessment work realistically.
