ADHICS — Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard

The Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard (ADHICS), issued by the Department of Health — Abu Dhabi, is the mandatory framework for protecting health information and securing information assets across all DoH-licensed healthcare entities in the Emirate. It sets governance, risk-management and control requirements spanning human resources security, asset management, access control, operations and communications security, third-party security, information systems acquisition, incident management and business continuity, with implementation tiers scaled to entity size and criticality. This documentation package provides a complete, ready-to-deploy management system for ADHICS adoption: a quality manual establishing scope, governance structure and the ISMS framework; a scheme section mapping the standard's control domains; implementation procedures for risk assessment, access management, incident response, asset classification and continuity planning; supporting forms and record templates for evidencing compliance; internal audit checklists aligned to the control families; guidance documents interpreting the requirements for hospital, clinic and support-service settings; and training materials for awareness and role-based competence. The package enables healthcare providers, TPAs and health-tech vendors to accelerate compliance, prepare for DoH ADHICS audits and surveys, and embed a sustainable information-security culture. Benefits include demonstrable regulatory compliance, reduced cyber and data-breach risk, faster audit readiness with pre-mapped evidence, and integration potential with ISO 27001-based security programmes already operating in the organisation.

Included: 41 ready-to-use, fully editable documents (manual, procedures, forms, records, checklists, guidance and training material).
