Healthcare cybersecurity: Can you meet the challenge?

Over the last decade, technology advances have changed the game for healthcare organizations. The industry’s ongoing adoption of consistent data standards has led to an expanded sharing of patient healthcare information.  While this cyber evolution has certainly raised the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery, it comes with a downside: serious security breaches and potential regulatory, reputational, and financial risks have expanded.

In this paper, we explore the six steps to assess your security posture:

1. Understand your regulatory and contractual requirements
2. Determine the controls framework that meets your needs
3. Assess your current environment to identify security gaps
4. Develop and execute a plan to address identified gaps
5. Reassess the post-remediation environment
6. Execute an effective assurance program with third-party assessment
