Institutions such as hospitals, governments and municipalities bear a great responsibility when it comes to protecting your personal data. You should be able to trust that your data is safe with them. Yet in practice, things still regularly go wrong. A recent example is the situation at the Municipality of Amsterdam, where an official was arrested on suspicion of looking up and passing on personal data to criminal contacts.
To prevent this type of abuse, it is important that organizations be able to immediately identify when employees access records without permission. Logspect offers the solution for this: a system that automatically detects and maps suspicious perusals.
The importance of file security in organizations
For organizations that work with personal records, privacy is an essential part of daily work. Unauthorized access to sensitive information can lead to legal repercussions, reputational damage and loss of trust, among both customers and employees. Therefore, it is essential not only to secure on the front end, but also to actively monitor what is happening within systems. Log analysis plays an important role in this: it helps organizations recognize suspicious patterns early and intervene before damage occurs.
What is Logspect?
Logspect was developed in collaboration with the Martini Hospital and Enlite with the goal of making log analysis of patient records more accessible. Logspect checks records for unauthorized access. This is done by an automated analysis that checks all record accesses. Logspect then analyzes the data for suspicious patterns and notifies you as soon as they are found. This is displayed in a clear dashboard.
Although Logspect was developed for healthcare, the system is easily applicable in other industries that work with records containing personal data, such as government agencies, educational institutions and insurance companies.
The advantages of Logspect
- Full control
Logspect automatically analyzes all patient records, ensuring that nothing is overlooked. This saves time and prevents human error.
- No disruptions
Logspect performs its analyses after the fact, so staff will never experience disruption during operations.
- Privacy guaranteed
To protect the privacy of data subjects, personal data are pseudonymized. For example, client names are replaced by unique identification numbers. In this way, the user can examine the data in an independent and objective manner, without revealing traceable information.
- Customized monitoring
Naast het herkennen van verdacht gedrag, zoals een plotselinge verandering van 10 naar 40 inzages in een bepaald dossier per week, controleert Logspect ook op regels die door u zijn ingesteld. Door uw eigen regels in te stellen zorgt u dat veelvoorkomende ongeautoriseerde scenario's voorkomen.
- Action on risks
Suspicious patterns are immediately displayed in a clear dashboard. For further investigation, the data can be traced back to the original data. This enables quick and targeted action.
