Information Security Policy (ENS)

Last Update: 08/04/2026

Approval and entry into force

Text approved by the Management of EUREKA FERTILITY on April 28, 2026. This Information Security Policy is effective from that date until it is replaced by a new Policy.

Introduction

EUREKA FERTILITY depends on ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) systems to achieve its objectives. These systems must be managed diligently, taking the appropriate measures to protect them against accidental or deliberate damage that may affect the security—confidentiality, integrity, availability, traceability, and authenticity—of the information processed or the services provided.

The objective of information security is to guarantee the quality of information and the continuous provision of services by acting preventively, monitoring daily activity, and reacting promptly to incidents.

ICT systems must be protected against rapidly evolving threats with the potential to impact the confidentiality, integrity, availability, intended use, and value of information and services. To defend against these threats, a strategy that adapts to changes in environmental conditions is required to ensure the continuous provision of services. This implies that departments must apply the minimum security measures required by the National Security Scheme (ENS), as well as continuously monitor service delivery levels, track and analyze reported vulnerabilities, and prepare an effective response to incidents to ensure the continuity of the services provided.

The different departments must ensure that ICT security is an integral part of each stage of the system's life cycle, from its conception to its withdrawal from service, including development or acquisition decisions and operational activities. Security requirements and funding needs must be identified and included in planning, in requests for proposals, in tender specifications, and in contracts for ICT projects.

Personnel must be prepared to prevent, detect, react to, and recover from incidents.

Prevention

Departments must avoid, or at least prevent as far as possible, information or services from being harmed by security incidents. To this end, departments must implement the minimum security measures determined by the ENS, as well as any additional controls identified through a threat and risk assessment. These controls, along with the security roles and responsibilities of all personnel, must be clearly defined and documented.

To ensure compliance with the policy, departments must:

  • Authorize systems before they become operational.
  • Regularly evaluate security, including assessments of routinely made configuration changes.
  • Request periodic review by third parties in order to obtain an independent evaluation.

Detection

Given that services can degrade rapidly due to incidents, ranging from a simple slowdown to a complete halt, services must monitor operations continuously to detect anomalies in service delivery levels and act accordingly. Mechanisms for detection, analysis, and reporting will be established to reach managers regularly and whenever a significant deviation from pre-established normal parameters occurs.

Response

EUREKA FERTILITY shall:

  • Establish mechanisms to respond effectively to security incidents.
  • Designate a point of contact for communications regarding incidents detected within the organization or in other entities.
  • Establish protocols for the exchange of incident-related information. This includes two-way communications with Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERT).

Recovery

To guarantee the availability of critical services, business continuity plans for ICT systems will be developed as part of the overall business continuity plan and recovery activities.

Scope

This Policy will be applicable and mandatory for the entire EUREKA FERTILITY organization, its resources, and the processes affected by the ENS, whether internal or external, linked to the entity through contracts or agreements with third parties.

All members of EUREKA FERTILITY affected by the scope of the ENS have the obligation to know and comply with this Information Security Policy and the corresponding security regulations, it being EUREKA FERTILITY's responsibility to provide the necessary means for the information to reach the affected personnel.

Mission

EUREKA FERTILITY's mission is to provide specialized online marketing and strategic consulting services for the assisted reproduction sector, guaranteeing the maximum visibility and reputation of our clients.

Aware of the sensitivity of the information we manage—which affects both the intellectual property of the clinics and the privacy of potential patients—our technical mission is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information assets. We are committed to offering a secure digital environment that protects the flow of data between clinics and their patients, strictly complying with the National Security Scheme (ENS) to project an image of trust, ethics, and excellence in the field of reproductive health.

The Management of EUREKA FERTILITY has established an Information Security Management System in its organization based on Royal Decree 311/2022, of May 3, which regulates the National Security Scheme, addressing the following objectives:

  • Guarantee Confidentiality in lead capture: ensure that personal and health data of potential patients, obtained through marketing campaigns and online forms, are accessed only by authorized personnel, preventing any leakage that affects the privacy of users.
  • Ensure the Integrity of marketing strategies: protect the information and digital assets of our clients (assisted reproduction clinics) against unauthorized modifications, guaranteeing that the advertising and content published are always truthful and aligned with health regulations.
  • Maintain the Availability of digital services: implement security measures that guarantee that capture platforms and campaign management systems are continuously operational, minimizing downtime so as not to harm our clients' investments.
  • Specialized training in sensitive data: continuously train the entire marketing and support team in security best practices and in the processing of "special categories of data," ensuring they understand the legal and ethical responsibility of handling information in the assisted reproduction sector.

  • Regularly, at least once a year.
  • When the information handled changes.
  • When the services provided change.
  • When a serious security incident occurs.
  • When serious vulnerabilities are reported.

For the harmonization of risk analyses, the ICT Security Committee will establish a baseline assessment for the different types of information handled and the different services provided.
