Centre Hospitalier Emile Mayrisch

Luxembourg

As the RSSI at Centre Hospitalier Emile Mayrisch, I am responsible for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the health information systems and data of one of the largest hospitals in Luxembourg. With more than 15 years of experience in information security, risk management, and IT audit, I have the skills and knowledge to design, implement, and monitor effective security policies, controls, and measures.

I am also a board member of CLUSIL, the Luxembourg Information Security Association, where I contribute to the promotion and development of information security best practices and standards in the country. I hold the CISA, CISM and CISSP certifications which demonstrate my expertise and commitment to the field. My mission is to protect the health data and systems of the hospital and its patients, and to support the advancement of information security in Luxembourg.
