ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that complies with international standards. HDS certification (Health Data Hosting) guarantees that health data is hosted and protected according to strict requirements for security, confidentiality, and traceability, in compliance with French regulations.

In practice, obtaining ISO 27001 or HDS certification generally takes between 6 and 12 months, depending on the maturity of the organization, the existing information security framework, the quality of the documentation, and any corrective actions identified during the audits.
