Cybersecurity Recruitment for the Healthcare Sector
From hospitals to mental healthcare providers and health insurers — we find the security leaders who protect both patient data and continuity of care.
Why cybersecurity in healthcare is different
The healthcare sector is digitising at pace — and in doing so is becoming a favoured target for cybercriminals. Patient data, medical devices and continuity of care are under constant pressure. At the same time, the requirements keep mounting: NEN 7510 is shifting from a guideline to the benchmark, the Dutch Cybersecurity Act and NIS2 impose stringent demands on digital resilience, and the Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ) is taking on oversight of both patient safety and digital resilience.
This calls for more than a technical profile. It calls for security professionals who understand the healthcare context, bridge the gap between technology and governance, and can demonstrably work in a compliant manner. This is precisely where the strength of VigIT People lies: we specialise in cybersecurity and speak the language of the sector.
