Addition of industry-proven frameworks powers better visibility
into cybersecurity program performance and compliance and helps
healthcare organizations mature their cybersecurity capabilities to
protect against rising cyberattacks
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Clearwater, healthcare's
largest pure-play provider of comprehensive cybersecurity and
compliance solutions, today announced the integration of the
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and National
Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST
CSF) 2.0 into its IRM|Performance SaaS solution introduced earlier
this year. The frameworks added to IRM|Performance represent a
significant advancement in Clearwater's IRM|Pro software suite,
further strengthening its position as the premier solution for
helping healthcare organizations improve their cybersecurity
programs while also assessing and managing cyber risk and ensuring
compliance with key industry standards and regulations.
Addition of industry-proven frameworks powers better visibility
into cybersecurity program performance and compliance and helps
healthcare organizations mature their cybersecurity capabilities to
protect against rising cyberattacks
The inclusion of PCI 4.0 and NIST CSF 2.0 standards in the
IRM|Performance module helps organizations better protect sensitive
information and achieve compliance with these critical frameworks.
PCI DSS is essential for organizations that handle credit card
transactions; it applies widely across healthcare providers,
hospitals, and health systems, ensuring that cardholder data is
protected from breaches and fraud. NIST CSF 2.0 –
released in February 2024 – provides
a comprehensive framework for achieving cybersecurity performance
outcomes and for managing cybersecurity risk. NIST CSF 2.0
incorporates the latest best practices and guidelines to enhance
organizational security posture. The inclusion of these frameworks
powers Clearwater's PCI DSS Compliance and NIST CSF Performance and
Maturity Assessments, delivered by Clearwater's industry-leading
consulting team.
Key benefits of IRM|Performance include:
Improved Security Posture: Inclusion of key frameworks provides
robust tools and resources to help organizations identify, assess,
and mitigate cybersecurity risks, bolstering their overall security
posture.
Holistic View of Risk and Cybersecurity Maturity: Combining
assessments like NIST CSF Performance and Maturity Assessments and
Information Asset-Level Risk Analyses in a single software platform
gives users visibility to their complete cybersecurity program
maturity and cyber risk profile, identifies and prioritizes gaps
that need remediation, and offers analytics to demonstrate risk
reduction and maturity over time.
Streamlined Processes: Cross-mapping between compliance and
security frameworks reduces duplication across assessments and
powers efficiency so security leaders can gain visibility into
their cybersecurity posture, risks, and vulnerabilities more
quickly and expedite the implementation of controls and improvement
strategies.
"A NIST CSF Maturity Assessment, powered by IRM|Performance,
gives healthcare leaders the kind of insights and analytics they
need to share a powerful narrative and outline a path to
cybersecurity maturity and resilience," says Jon Stone, Clearwater's Chief Product Officer
and architect of the IRM|Pro software suite. "When they can view
this picture next to their risk data from an asset-based risk
analysis, it's the best way for leaders to evaluate their current
cybersecurity posture and make meaningful progress to a more
secure, compliant, and resilient state."
The IRM|Pro software suite, including the new release of the
IRM|Performance module, is designed to help healthcare
organizations manage risk, achieve compliance, and protect
sensitive information. With these latest enhancements, Clearwater
continues to lead the industry in delivering innovative,
high-quality services and solutions that address the complex
challenges of cybersecurity and compliance.
"Healthcare organizations face growing cybersecurity threats;
some of the worst cyberattacks have occurred in the last six
months," says Clearwater CEO Steve
Cagle. "And yet, security leaders still face resistance and
often struggle to gain the needed resources to safeguard and secure
their organizations. We're working alongside healthcare leaders to
help them solve these issues, embed cybersecurity across their
organizations, and gain the buy-in they need from the board and
their executive leadership team."
