KLAS, Censinet Partnership to Simplify Provider Cyber-Risk Assessment Efforts
A new partnership promises to reduce the effort required for healthcare providers to perform security assessments and help technology vendors focus on dealing with new security issues through a common security preparedness rating system for their products and services. KLAS Research, a healthcare research and insights firm, announced that product and service security risk assessments from Censinet will be the source of new quarterly KLAS ratings on those products and services. KLAS and Censinet will also collaborate in other ways, such as research, insight sharing, special report access, and cybersecurity best practices. The prospect has energized CIOs who find the technology risk assessments they conduct annually or more frequently to be a mountain of work desperately in need of pooled provider efforts.
