APPENDIX
2 – SECURITY POLICY
This
security policy (the “ Security Policy ") presents
and summarizes the security measures to be implemented in the area of
IT security: (1) by Medissimo, as well as (2) by
Healthcare Professionals and/or
medical and social care facilities, in connection with the download, access,
activation, viewing, and use of the Medissimo
Applications.
(1)
MEDISSIMO SECURITY MEASURES
The
security measures and safeguards provided by Medissimo regarding the
implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to
protect personal data are as follows:
-
User access control
Registration
for the Kimed Mobile App is done online, through the app. When
registering for the Kimed Mobile App, the app verifies the user’s
email address. Access to a pharmacy’s patient data through
the Kimed Mobile App is granted by the pharmacist via the
Medissimo Pharmacist Web App.
Logging
in to the platform's applications requires the user's username and
password, as well as a unique 6-digit OTP ("One-Time Password")
and a software certificate, both of which are provided by the OSPI hosting provider.
-
Access Management
Access
to a patient’s shared medical record is restricted solely to healthcare professionals
authorized to view it. Authorization for a healthcare professional takes into account the
concept of the healthcare team, so that only those professionals actually
involved in a patient’s care or in the treatment provided to them
may have access to information covered by medical
confidentiality.
All
authorization requests are approved by a MEDISSIMO manager, and
healthcare professionals’ access permissions are revoked as soon as they are
no longer authorized to access the patient’s health data.
-
Traceability measures
Access
to the servers is strictly limited to authorized personnel and requires a
certificate, a VPN, and an access request submitted to our hosting provider. Each
access request is logged. The log contains the
following information: date, time, developer ID, and reason for access. This
information can be retrieved for a period of 6 months.
In addition,
the hosting provider has all the login credentials for the platform.
Just as with developers’ access to the servers,
client connections to the platform are logged. In the event of a problem,
Medissimo reserves the right to request a “ extract " (export) to
OSPI to verify this information.
-
Software protection measures
Data from the
Medissimo Applications is hosted by OSPI, a healthcare data hosting provider
certified as a “Healthcare Data Host” (Article L. 1111-8 of the
Public Health Code and the Decree of January 4, 2006, regarding the hosting
of personal healthcare data). This data is hosted entirely
in France and is not transferred to a third country or to an
international organization.
OSPI is
ISO 27001 and HDS certified and has implemented the necessary security measures
to comply with the requirements of the sections of the ISO 27001 standard and the
HDS certification framework.
Medissimo makes
every effort to ensure that its servers and applications have the latest
available software patches, including security patches.
The hosting provider OSPI communicates with Medissimo regularly regarding the various
migrations and fixes applied to its servers.
-
Data backup
The hosting provider OSPI
runs a daily backup of the Medissimo application databases.
These backups can be restored partially or in full
in the event of a problem.
In addition, before
each production deployment, Medissimo submits a request to the hosting provider to
back up the database as it stands beforehand, so that it can perform
a recovery in the event of a problem.
-
Data encryption
The entire
Medissimo platform uses the HTTPS communication protocol, which
encrypts requests between clients and the server. In addition, access to the
servers is restricted to a few developers and requires a specific procedure (see
the “Traceability Measures” section).
-
Medissimo Subcontractors
a)
List of Medissimo Subcontractors
The
Medissimo platform uses only one hosting provider for patient health data:
OSPI (for production and pre-production servers).
(b) Measures for
Monitoring Medissimo Subcontractors
OSPI has
an alert system that notifies Medissimo in the event of an outage. This allows
Medissimo to inform its customers if the problem persists, and if the problem is
detected during Medissimo support hours (Monday through Friday, from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
-
Other measures
Technical data
are managed by Confluence and Jira and stored at ATLASSIAN.
stored at ATLASSIAN.
(2) SAFETY MEASURES
FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
The security measures
to be implemented by Healthcare Professionals and/or
Data Controllers in connection with the download, access,
activation, viewing, and use of Medissimo Applications
are as follows:
-
User access control
In
the Medissimo Pharmacist Web Application, the licensed pharmacist may create a
user account for each member of his or her pharmacy’s staff authorized to
access the application (pharmacist or pharmacy technician). The
licensed pharmacist agrees to create accounts only for authorized individuals, to
provide account information only to the person concerned,
and not to disclose this information to third parties.
In
the Medissimo Etablissement Web Application for healthcare facilities, the
head nurse can create a user account for each staff member at
her facility who is authorized to access the application (physician, nurse, or
nursing assistant). The head nurse agrees to create accounts only for
authorized individuals, to provide information regarding each
account only to the person concerned, and not to disclose this information to
third parties.
In
the Medissimo Nurse Web Application, the nurse creates an account in
the application using their email address, password, and RPPS or
ADELI number. Access to a patient’s pharmacy data via the
Medissimo Nurse Mobile App is granted by the pharmacist through the
Medissimo Pharmacist Web App. Before granting this access, the pharmacist
agrees to verify the nurse’s identity using their professional license.
In
the Kimed Mobile App, the patient creates an account in the app using
their email address and password. Access to a patient’s data from the
pharmacy via the Kimed mobile app is granted by the pharmacist
through the Medissimo Pharmacist app. Before granting this access, the
pharmacist agrees to verify the patient’s identity using their ID,
and to check the patient’s Vitale card.
Each account
that provides access to a Medissimo Application (Pharmacist, Facility,
Nurse, or Kimed) is registered to a specific individual, personal, and non-transferable. Users
agree not to disclose to third parties any information related to their
account—in particular, their username and password—and to take all
necessary measures to prevent unauthorized persons from
accessing this information.
-
Traceability measures
Responsibility for
for traceability is transferred to the HDS-accredited hosting provider.
-
Data backup
Medissimo
delegates responsibility for data backup to the HDS-certified hosting provider.
-
Other measures
Healthcare
professionals agree not to access the platform from a
public network and agree to secure their internal networks.

The MEDISSIMO platform offers a secure, traceable treatment service for patients at home and in residential care, including pillboxing of medicines in the pharmacy and treatment monitoring in cooperation with healthcare professionals and their families.
The platform brings together the pharmacist, who delivers the treatment with full traceability, and the patient or his or her homecare assistant, who fills in the dosages from the MEDIPAC® pillbox prepared by a healthcare professional, and the nurse, who monitors the treatment in liaison with the pharmacist and the family, and informs the doctor in the event of a medication risk.
In line with the public health priority defined in the national health strategy, the pharmacist - nurse - attending physician triad is at the heart of the platform designed by MEDISSIMO, with the aim of promoting the proper use of medicines.
