There is no doubt that the privacy of people, the confidentiality of their information, the integrity of transaction holding, and the availability of service systems are all essential and any threats in any one of these aspects will be costly and could lead to disaster. Thereby securing computer services has been considered as a core part of any new development one of which is the clinical information systems. In this paper we will discus a security policy model for a clinical information system and investigate whether logical languages can represent the principles of this kind of model. We have used three security logical languages: the Authorization Specification Language (ASL), a Language for Security Constrains on Objects (LaSCO) and Ponder: a Language for Specifying Security and Management Policies for Distributed Systems. We will also study whether these principles are sufficient to deal with the case of multi-agency services and sharing information with the different agencies such as social services, police and education authority.
