The Problem Plaguing Hospitals

Unfortunately, a significant number of healthcare organizations are struggling to analyze, prioritize, and manage risk effectively. According to the most recent HIPAA Audit Industry Report published by the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR), only 14% of Covered Entities fulfill their regulatory responsibilities to conduct thorough Risk Analysis. Moreover, only 6% of Covered Entities implement appropriate Risk Management activities.

The Impact

This lack of effective risk analysis and management exposes hospitals and their patients to dangerous and costly risks. Cyber incidents affecting hospitals and health systems have put patient safety at risk by extended disruptions in care, patient diversions to other facilities, and delayed medical procedures. Additionally, there has been a 93% increase in large breaches, a 278% increase in large breaches involving ransomware, and OCR penalties that are 78% larger.

The Solution

HealthGuard helps HIPAA Security Officers (HSOs) analyze, prioritize, and manage risk more effectively. We provide innovative HSOs with cost-effective products and services that ensure risk is identified and prioritized properly, risk is estimated using objective, quantitative risk analysis, risk is managed effectively with proper governance and oversight, and results are monitored and managed through effective monitoring and reporting.

Leadership Series

Next-generation HSOs are innovators with the following characteristics: they think strategically, balance long-term success with short-term priorities and tactics, set clear goals, and want objective, quantitative risk analysis to improve prioritization and decision-making. They also want specialized partners that understand their specific challenges and needs, a community of peers and industry experts to exchange ideas and experiences, and a practical, HIPAA-compliant risk management process.
