Abstract

In this study, we want to show that despite the important and crucial data that health structures (hospitals, clinics, health centers etc.) manage, they do not take into account the risks of patient data leaks. As a result, these structures do not seem to favor computer audits on a regular basis in order to determine possible intrusion doors. some people think that data leaks are due to external factors which can be characterized by cyber-attacks coming from outside. Health care workers can take confidential patient information and expose it and without a security audit it would be difficult to find the fault and the person responsible, hence the interest of security audits. The research was done because we noticed that the health structures in Burkina Faso manage big and crucial data and they need to pay attention with. Data leakage situations can be crucial on the one hand for patients who will see their personal information end up in the public square and on the other hand discredit the image of the health structure and which will result in the non-attendance of this structure. In this study, the expected result is to show the existence of the negligence of health structures in Burkina Faso when managing patient data that can lead to a leak of this data, also to propose palliative solutions to the risks to which they are exposed. We went to meet the managers in charge of managing these structures in order to collect useful information and analyze it.
