Turning ISO 27001 into a Strategic Opportunity: Testimony from Hospices Civils de Lyon

A Leading Institution, a Demanding Environment
As the second-largest university hospital center in France, the HCL group includes 13 healthcare institutions and more than 23,000 professionals.
At the intersection of public health, sensitive data protection, and regulatory compliance, HCL launched a structured approach toward ISO 27001 certification in 2021.
Their goal: Achieve certification within a year across a strategic pilot perimeter.
A bold challenge, tackled with method and determination.
A Structured Yet Agile Approach
From the outset, the project emphasized a rigorous but pragmatic strategy:
Egerie was selected as the core platform to manage ISO 27001 risk assessments in a centralized and collaborative manner.
Why Egerie?
HCL quickly identified three key benefits:
Centralized risk analysis: All information is documented in a single, traceable, audit-ready repository.
Structured cyber governance: A dynamic risk map and continuous action plan tracking help reinforce day-to-day security management.
Accelerated momentum: The platform’s functional richness (automated measure suggestions, prequalification questionnaires…) allows for faster, more scalable execution.
The result: A controlled project that brings agility and clarity to a complex organization.
From Compliance to Continuous Governance
With Egerie, HCL laid the foundations of long-term cyber governance:
Conduct regular ISO 27001 compliance risk assessments
Continuously manage risks and corrective actions
Equip decision-making bodies (executive committees, project steering, etc.) with consolidated dashboards
Prepare for the expansion of the approach to broader scopes (additional certifications, NIS2 framework, etc.)
“Today, Egerie not only helps us stay compliant, it also enables better risk management and supports our digital transformation.”

ISO 27001 certification achieved on the pilot perimeter, followed by broader deployment
4 platform users
40+ risk analyses conducted and centralized
1 unified risk assessment supporting multiple frameworks (HDS, ISO 27001, etc.)
Widespread involvement from business teams
