The dossier sanitario is a structured health record used to support patient care and clinical continuity. It brings together relevant medical information so clinicians can make safer decisions, coordinate treatment, and avoid gaps in care. Because it contains highly sensitive personal data, access must be tightly limited and tied to a clear medical purpose.
In cyber security, the dossier sanitario is a high-value target for attackers and a frequent source of privacy failures when systems are over-permissive. Risks include insider misuse, role confusion, weak segmentation, and accidental exposure through shared platforms or poor access control. Defenses rely on least privilege, role separation, audit logging, and privacy by design so that clinical staff can see what they need, while HR, administrative, and other non-clinical users cannot repurpose the record for unrelated decisions.
