The Blekinge health care system was investigated through case study with conduction of several interviews to discover possible issues, concerning security threats to management of healthcare. The theoretical work was the framework and support for possible solutions of identified security risks and threats in Blekinge healthcare. At the end after mapping, the whole process possible guidelines and suggestions were recommended for healthcare in order to prevent the sensitive information from unauthorized access and maintain information security. The management of technical and administrative bodies was explored for security problems.
