Title: Creating Cyber Resilience: Your Guide to Healthcare Vendor Risk Management
Description:
Healthcare is a high-stakes industry where the protection of patient data, compliance with regulatory standards, and organizational reputation are paramount. Third-party vendors play a pivotal role in this ecosystem—but vendor risk management in the healthcare industry has been nothing short of a disaster in recent years. Healthcare organizations typically work with thousands of vendors, yet often lack effective risk management processes to evaluate vendors and protect patient data. In this presentation, Steve Ryan, manager of attest services at BARR Advisory, will address the issues facing vendor risk management in healthcare head on and provide attendees with a strategic and effective path forward. By participating in this session, attendees can expect to gain a deep understanding of the risks that third-party vendors pose in the healthcare industry, including knowledge of real-world incidents that demonstrate these inherent risks. Armed with this information, attendees will then learn how to establish and implement an effective third-party vendor risk management review process, including how to handle third-party incidents. Lastly, this session will then delve into the various tools and frameworks organizations can use to simplify their vendor risk management strategy. With plenty of audience engagement, this session will equip participants with the knowledge needed to address the challenges of vendor risk management effectively and empower them to safeguard patient data, ensure compliance, and maintain the reputations and integrity of their organizations in today’s digital landscape.
