How to reduce third-party supply chain security risks
Learn best practices to simplify assessment of cloud-based services

Sponsored by:

Effectively assessing the security posture of cloud-based services is proving to be prohibitively expensive and difficult to perform. The hurdles faced go well beyond available resources and capabilities, posing a huge challenge for organizations and third parties to create, administer, respond to and manage assessments. In addition, ineffective security, compliance and assurance methods result in increased risk, drive-up costs and create confusion within organizations and third parties.
 

In this webinar, learn from the American Hospital Association about the various common security frameworks (CSF) available within health care and available resources. You’ll learn why the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) moved to require HITRUST CSF certification of its vendors to mitigate risk exposure from third parties providing cloud-based services. By using a single framework that covered all relevant standards and regulations, UPMC was able to assure the security and compliance levels of third parties in maintaining patient data protection and simplified assurance processes, reduced costs and maintained clear understanding between the medical center and its vendors.

ATTENDEES WILL LEARN:

• The various common security frameworks available within the health care field.
• The value of managing information security-related risks by third parties.
• Best practices for third-party assurance to reduce costs, simplify processes and minimize confusion with third parties.
• The mission of the Provider Third-Party Risk Management (PTPRM) Council.
• High-level information about the HITRUST CSF Certification process as used by the PTPRM Council.
