Data breaches are on the minds of every C-Suite executive in Healthcare. Third-Parties (i.e., vendors and business partners) with access to an organization’s Protected Health Information (PHI) and/or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) represent a significant risk due to the potential for data breaches.

Due to the significant growth in healthcare data breaches and the awareness of the risk posed by third-party security weaknesses, healthcare organizations have started implementing stronger TPRM programs that try to focus on uncovering true security weaknesses in the hopes of addressing this large-scale problem.
