Strengthen resilience, enable digital transformation, and secure patient safety.
DNV Cyber supports healthcare providers in their effort to strengthen the resilience of healthcare providers and their supply chains as digital transformation becomes essential to sustainable care - and as cyber risk becomes a patient safety risk.
Turbocharging Europe’s healthcare cyber resilience: Four recommendations
Cybersecurity should be considered a matter of national security, according to a new report co-authored by DNV Cyber and commissioned by Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra.
As cyber threats to healthcare grow, resilience requires collaboration. This article introduces the Nordic Cyber Healthcare Forum and how it brings healthcare leaders together to move from reactive defence to proactive, patientcentred cyber resilience.
A 2025 study published by the BMJ Group and DNV reveals a growing gap between digital health technology ambition and clinical reality, with many healthcare professionals still waiting for productivity gains. The findings underline the importance of trust, assurance and secure technology implementation.

DNV Cyber enables healthcare providers and their supply chains to strengthen cyber resilience without slowing the digital transformation needed to build more sustainable healthcare systems.
As demand for care continues to outpace available resources, healthcare providers are under pressure to unlock productivity and efficiency through digital transformation—across data, platforms, automation, and connected technologies.
Yet this transformation also introduces new risks. Expanding use of cloud services, AI, remote care, and connected physical systems and devices is dramatically widening the attack surface. Cyber risk is no longer an abstract IT concern; it is linked to patient safety, service continuity, and public trust.
Combining deep cybersecurity expertise with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare assurance, we help healthcare organizations securely adopt and scale new digital technologies while maintaining continuity of care and meeting regulatory expectations.
In healthcare, digitalization holds significant potential to improve efficiency, quality of care, and hospital management. At the same time, it has expanded the healthcare attack surface through electronic health records, connected medical devices, cloud services, and increasingly complex supplier ecosystems. Cybersecurity is not just a technical imperative, it’s a strategic enabler of trust, resilience, and growth.

Operations Director
DNV Cyber
DNV safeguards healthcare IT and OT environments in the healthcare sector and its supply chain. We offer practical cybersecurity solutions, from assessment and advice to implementing management systems and training, to help healthcare organizations protect sensitive data and patient safety.
Our expertise spans healthcare domain professionals and cybersecurity experts, combining deep sector knowledge with technical capabilities. We support healthcare organizations to strengthen preparedness and resilience, ensure continuity of care, and build trust - the critical currency of digital health.
Trust operates on two essential layers. Foundational trust is earned through rigorous, transparent standards, and regulation - which sets a nonnegotiable safety floor for every platform. DNV builds this trust through independent assurance, certification, and regulatory expertise applied across healthcare IT, medical devices, and digital health technologies.
We support healthcare organizations in complying with, and staying ahead of, evolving cybersecurity regulation affecting healthcare and other critical infrastructure sectors, based on recognized cybersecurity standards and best practices.
We are also actively involved in broader European initiatives to assess digital health technologies, including their cybersecurity aspects, and to develop operational frameworks for their use across the EU. DNV Research participates in multiple EU funded projects, contributing cybersecurity and regulatory expertise to strengthen digital health resilience at scale.
As cybersecurity in healthcare is increasingly recognized as a strategic and national security concern, DNV Cyber helps organizations navigate complexity, strengthen resilience, maintain compliance, and prepare for what lies ahead.
