Leading Firms to Deliver Solutions Focused on De-Risking M&A and Vendor Partnerships, Leveraging Frameworks, and Optimizing Cybersecurity Investments
NASHVILLE, Tenn, and MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwater, the largest pure-play provider of cybersecurity and compliance solutions for the healthcare industry, has partnered with global consultancy Guidehouse to further help healthcare organizations mitigate cybersecurity risk.
Cyberattacks in healthcare are up 32% since 2023, and it's taking longer for organizations to fully recover from them. Tapping into a deep pool of healthcare technology and cybersecurity experts and proven solutions, the Clearwater-Guidehouse partnership aims to address concerns that leave healthcare organizations vulnerable to debilitating cyberattacks.
"The statistics paint an alarming picture, but they just scratch the surface," said Clearwater CEO Steve Cagle. "Each healthcare breach has far-reaching implications for patient safety, trust, operational resilience, and compliance. We're excited to team with Guidehouse in providing solutions that leverage the collective expertise of our teams to move healthcare organizations to a more secure, compliant, and resilient state."
According to Guidehouse Partner Matt Onesko, "Healthcare organizations are facing unprecedented cybersecurity risks requiring solutions specifically tailored to the industry's unique regulatory environment and provider operating models. Together, we're creating a holistic approach to cyber risk management to help organizations strengthen their security posture while maintaining focus on their core mission of optimal patient care."
The partnership will deliver six key solutions focused on de-risking M&A and vendor partnerships, leveraging frameworks, and optimizing cybersecurity investments, including:
1. Cybersecurity Investment Management: Helping organizations better
understand which cybersecurity investments are providing a strong ROI,
using such solutions as Clearwater's Security Controls Validation
Assessment.
2. M&A Transformation: Supporting the M&A transformation process during due
diligence by conducting an in-depth, streamlined review of policies and
procedures, governance programs, organizational structure, and security
practices to provide an early indication of areas of excess risk.
3. Framework-Based Assessments: Leveraging a deep pool of experts to help
organizations assess their cybersecurity and data protection programs
across a broad range of frameworks and standards, including:-- NIST
Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0-- NIST Privacy Framework-- HHS
405(d) Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices-- HHS Cybersecurity
Performance Goals-- HITRUST CSF-- HIPAA Security Rule-- HIPAA
Privacy and Breach Notification Rule
4. Actionable Risk Reduction and Program Maturity: Equipping organizations
with insights and measurable and actionable risk data they can act on to
demonstrate risk reduction and program maturity with Clearwater's
OCR-Quality(®) Risk Analysis.
5. Vendor Risk Management: Assisting organizations with assessing
third-party risk and minimizing the risk to their organization.
6. Digital Health Acceleration: Working with digital health developers to
advance strong cybersecurity and compliance programs that ensure the
solutions they bring to market meet industry requirements and customer
expectations.
Senior leaders from both the Clearwater and Guidehouse teams will be in attendance at the CHiME Fall Forum in San Diego next week to meet with clients and share more about the partnership.
