Vendor Risk Management
Cost-effectively identify, prioritize, and reduce third-party cyber risk
Know Your Riskiest Vendors
The latest Ponemon Institute study indicates that 56% of providers have had one more vendor-related data breach over the last two years.
Healthcare providers are at increased risk of intentional and unintentional cybersecurity compromises by vendors accessing, transmitting, storing, or maintaining their critical data. Clearwater’s team of healthcare cybersecurity experts will help you assess, prioritize, and monitor vendor risk. Because every organization is unique, we’ll tailor your engagement to your specific needs.
Minimize the risk your vendors introduce to your organization.
Vendors are key to healthcare innovation, helping improve care delivery, communication, documentation, etc. Their technologies drive efficiency and can directly impact patient outcomes. But they can also introduce added risk to your organization and may or may not have the appropriate safeguards to protect patient data. You need a strategy for assessing third-party risk and minimizing the risk to your organization.
Clearwater is the recognized leader in compliance and risk management, our team offers three services to help you understand and manage vendor risk in your organization:
1. Assess, Design & Build: We’ll assess your current vendor risk management process, make recommendations, and help you implement a more effective and efficient program.
2. Ongoing VRM Support: In addition to the above, we’ll provide ongoing advisory services and supplementary support as needed.
3. Vendor Security Management: Rather than build and execute your vendor security management program internally, you can outsource this to Clearwater. Our team will conduct vendor risk assessments and report on vendor risk from individual and portfolio perspectives under an outsourced, managed services model.
