IEC TS 81001-2-2:2025 for DPOs
What does IEC TS 81001-2-2:2025 require of a DPO?
The IEC catalogue of security capabilities for health software and medical devices (logoff, audit, authorisation, updates, de-identification, backup, emergency access, integrity, malware protection, node and person authentication, physical locks, component roadmaps, hardening, storage and transmission protection) plus connectivity, personal data, remote service, SBOM and security guide information, and how manufacturers and health delivery organisations select, communicate and risk-manage them. Under IEC TS 81001-2-2:2025, which defines 26 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which IEC TS 81001-2-2:2025 controls land on the DPO

IEC TS 81001-2-2:2025 defines 26 controls across 3 domains that directly affect the DPO role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
