Purpose: The main objective of the paper is to identify the attributes of the value of religious products. Specific objectives include: conceptualization of the notion and perception of religious products from the perspective of an individual, determining the impact of secularization on consumer behaviour in the field of religious products, exploring and defining research areas that will constitute the basis for planned quantitative research, enabling the quantification of the analyzed variables and verification of research hypotheses generated during qualitative research. Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative research (N = 21) on the perception of the value of religious products was conducted among Polish Catholics. Additionally, the understanding of the essence of religious products was examined. Findings: The research shows that a religious product is defined and perceived by the respondents in various ways - there is no uniform approach in this respect. Considering the approach proposed by Sheth et al. (1991), the respondents perceive the existence of all five values in religious products, among which the relatively greatest importance is assigned to functional and emotional values. Research limitations/implications: The research carried out is of a qualitative nature and is burdened with the disadvantages of this type of research. It is not a representative study and can only provide a partial picture of the research problem. Practical implications: The paper has interdisciplinary and exploratory character, covering not only the issues in the area of religion and culture, but also economic, ethnographic and psychological aspects of human behaviour. The conclusions from the conducted research may provide guidance for enterprises offering religious products on the market. Originality/value: The original value of the article is the conducted own research, addressed to both consumers and enterprises operating in the researched industry. An additional value is also the approach to the research problem; so far, this type of research has not been undertaken in relation to religious products.

Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to indicate the threats faced by medical entities in the context of the growing scale of collection and processing of personal data, including sensitive data. Therefore, it seems justified to attempt to systemically secure the processes related to this. Specific objective: The main objective formulated in this way required further specification through the scientific and cognitive objective, which was to assess whether the implementation of the ISO 27001:2017 information security system in a medical entity allows for reducing the risk of information security incidents. Project/methodology: The scope of scientific research defined in this way required the author not only to conduct literature studies, but also to apply appropriate research methods. As part of the considerations, it was decided to use methods such as: statistical analysis of data on the scale of implementation of a standardized data security system in the world and in Poland and the method of scientific description. Results: The literature studies conducted and the research methods used allowed to demonstrate that the implementation of a standardized information security management system allows, by taking into account the requirements resulting from it, to increase the level of information security in medical entities. Identification of organizational, legal and ICT risks reduces the likelihood of information security incidents, and thus reduces the risk of exposing the healthcare entity to legal liability resulting from violation of the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 100) and the Regulation of the Parliament European Union and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR). Limitations: A certain limitation faced by the author was the inability to take into account the number of ISO 27001:2017 certificates issued in medical entities both in the world and in Poland. This is due to the fact that certification bodies are not obliged to make such information public. Additionally, a certain limitation is the lack of reporting on compensation awarded by common courts to persons who have been harmed as a result of a breach of the protection of their personal data. Practical implications: The study proposes a method for estimating risks in the field of information security in the activities of organizations, including healthcare entities. Additionally, the main benefits resulting from the implementation of the ISO 27001:2017 information security management system were indicated and the barriers that the manager of an entity providing health services should take into account were demonstrated. Originality/value: There are a number of studies in both domestic and foreign literature on the information security system and its importance in organizations. Few authors make the effort to analyze this type of solutions in the context of providing medical services and the problems that must be solved by people managing medical entities.
