These challenges include protecting patient data, safeguarding medical devices and equipment, facilitating easy but secure login access and ensuring the security of online systems and networks used to process healthcare information. Healthcare professionals focus on medical practices and patients and rightly so, however, cyber security of the legacy IT infrastructure and increasinging digitalisation requires a strategic cyber security approach.

Secure Login for Caretakers and Patients
Secure authentication is a basic requirement for healthcare professionals and specific ID authentication techniques are used in different countries, for example, SITHS, BankID and FrejaID are used in Sweden. In addition, healthcare professional are increasingly providing administrative care online, witout physical meeting, in which case quick and efficient identity checking of their patients becomes very important.
Clavister provides robust identity management solutions through PhenixID portfolio and has helped different Swedish regions to ensure an identity check of their patients when they have to use the e-services that the region offers. Since the regions’ needs often vary, PhenixID offers suitable methods for secure login such as; BankID, SITHS card, Freja eID, Push in mobile app, OTP via SMS and so on.
Role Based Identity Management
In Swedish Healthcare, a role-based authorisation structure is used. A role, employee assignment, gives the user different authorisations in the system. Many users have more than one employee assignment, for example a doctor who works in two different hospitals. In order for such a user to get the right authorisation, the user must choose which employee assignment the user has at the time of logging in. PhenixID’s Identity Management platform offers employee assignment selection, both in “ordinary” flows for SAML/OIDC but also via API.
