TL;DR
Secure your AWS infrastructure for a medical app in 2025 using ISO 27001—reduce risks by 40% with these steps, all in 40 seconds.
Introduction
Your medical app on AWS handles sensitive data, but a recent breach cost a competitor $1M in fines. This article shows how to apply ISO 27001 to secure your infrastructure in 2025.
Key Point 1: Risk Assessment
Identify vulnerabilities (e.g., unencrypted data). A risk assessment cut breach risks by 40% for a health app. Outcome: Mitigate 90% of critical risks before launch.
Key Point 2: Implement Security Controls
Use AWS IAM and encryption (e.g., KMS). A clinic app reduced unauthorized access by 50% with IAM roles. Outcome: Enhanced security compliance by 30%.
Key Point 3: Monitor and Audit
Set up AWS CloudTrail for auditing. Tool: Use CloudTrail to track access. Pitfall: Don’t skip regular audits—non-compliance risks $500K fines.
Summary
Follow ISO 27001—assess risks, apply controls, and audit—to secure your AWS medical app and avoid costly breaches in 2025.
