ISABIAL is aligned with the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R), an initiative of the European Commission that promotes the implementation of the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. This recognition reflects the Institute’s commitment to transparent, merit‑based human resources policies focused on professional development.
ISABIAL obtained certification under the National Security Scheme (ENS), through the µCeENS (Micro‑CeENS) methodology, on 5 August 2025. This certification ensures that the Institute’s information systems comply with the principles and requirements necessary to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, availability, traceability, and authenticity of the information they manage.
The ENS constitutes a fundamental pillar for strengthening information security and service continuity, particularly in the context of health and biomedical research, where the handling of sensitive data and institutional trust are essential.
The governance of ISABIAL’s Information Security Management System is structured through a clearly defined set of responsibilities. Elena Bertomeu, from ISABIAL’s General Management, assumes responsibility for information; Dr Juan Antonio Martínez serves as the security officer; Alberto García is the system manager; and Pedro David Moreno acts as the service manager, ensuring a comprehensive approach aligned with the principles of the National Security Scheme.
