SOCIAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF DATA PROCESSING AND ENSURING THE SECURITY OF HEALTH INFORMATION

Summary/Abstract: Health information is both a legally protected “special category” of personal data and a critical resource for the continuity of medical services. This article examines the socio-legal and legal prerequisites for the lawful processing of health data and for ensuring its security, by integrating the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the national framework governing “health information,” and sector- specific cybersecurity regimes into a single, workable organizational model. At the theoretical level, the paper systematizes the legal bases, roles and responsibilities (controller/processor, data protection officer, supervisory authorities), the principles of processing, risk management, and the corresponding measures for “confidentiality– integrity–availability.” At the practical and applied level, it proposes a compliance and information security framework across the data lifecycle. The emphasis is on the social significance: trust in the healthcare system, prevention of stigmatization and discrimination, and safeguarding patients’ rights in the context of digitalization (electronic health record, health information system, and related services).
