The Importance of NIST-CSF to Healthcare
Healthcare is a prime target for cyber criminals – with ransomware attacks costing over $20B last year alone.
To better protect themselves, hospitals and healthcare organizations need to update their technology infrastructure AND formalize their approach to overall cybersecurity. It is vital that organizations adopt a disciplined-yet-flexible approach to identifying the most critical risks and mitigating them on an ongoing basis.
This is where the NIST-CSF can help.
With the NIST-CSF, healthcare organizations can chart a path to a more secure state by identifying process and technology gaps.
Intraprise Health's NIST Assessment Platform
Our platform was designed to help hospitals, payers and large healthcare organizations adopt the NIST Framework and identify and prioritize cybersecurity risks and the impact of each dollar spent on cybersecurity. Using the Intraprise Health NIST Assessment Platform to assess and improve the management of cybersecurity risks will put organizations in a better position to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from an attack.
We help streamline the complex, manual pieces of your NIST assessments and provide a customized program to help you measure your security posture against NIST standards, track improvements over time and create a clear cybersecurity scorecard.
NIST Security Framework Assessment
Adopting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides hospitals, payers and large healthcare organizations with a “common language” to measure security risks and a clear way to communicate compliance to internal and external stakeholders. You can complete a NIST Cybersecurity Assessment independently using the Intraprise Health NIST Framework Assessment Platform, or if you would like additional validation assistance, our expert assessors will work with you to complete your assessment, answer questions, and provide strategic and tactical support.
NIST Cybersecurity Assessment Platform Capabilities:
- Simplest way to align your cybersecurity and privacy programs with NIST and CMMC
- Built and supported by our NIST experts with fast and easy implementation in mind
- Identifies gaps set against self-selected program maturity targets
- Digital validation certificate provided with on–demand, customizable reports
- Assessment and maturity dashboards
Intraprise Health Assessor Support and Expertise:
- NIST experts with understanding of NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Frameworks and CMMC requirements
- Experienced and certified cybersecurity specialists with deep healthcare expertise
- Assessors to review assessment and provide recommendations of how to accelerate/evolve towards a greater level of maturity
Three implementation options: Self, Facilitated, and Managed Service
NIST Privacy Framework Assessment
Similar to our NIST Cybersecurity Assessment, our NIST Privacy Framework Assessment provides organizations with high level visibility into the enterprise privacy of their organization. You can complete a NIST Privacy Assessment independently using the Intraprise Health NIST Framework Assessment Platform, or if you would like additional validation assistance, our expert assessors will work with you to complete your assessment, answer questions, and provide strategic and tactical support.
NIST Privacy Assessment Platform Capabilities:
- Simplest way to align your cybersecurity and privacy programs with NIST and CMMC
- Built and supported by our NIST experts with fast and easy implementation in mind
- Identifies gaps set against self-selected program maturity targets
- Digital validation certificate provided with on–demand, customizable reports
- Assessment and maturity dashboards
Intraprise Health Assessor Support and Expertise:
- NIST experts with understanding of NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Frameworks and CMMC requirements
- Experienced and certified cybersecurity specialists with deep healthcare expertise
- Assessors to review assessment and provide recommendations of how to accelerate/evolve towards a greater level of maturity
NIST Security and Privacy Framework Assessment
Our NIST Security and Privacy Framework Assessment offerings are easy to implement and quickly allow healthcare organizations to clearly identify their risks and develop a plan to remediate them. Using both the Privacy and the Security Assessment at the same time provides organizations with a more comprehensive view of their risks while also allowing them to benefit from several economies of scale — answers provided on one of the modules can then be carried over to the other — saving valuable time and effort.
Get the structure, detail and clarity that you need to:
- Identify gaps in your program set against self-selected program maturity targets
- Identify all controls in your organization’s cybersecurity program
- Score your level of risk for each control against both NIST and CMMC
- Score compliance for each control
- Enhance productivity by delegating responsibilities throughout your team
Intraprise Health Assessor Support and Expertise
Intraprise Health’s NIST Assessment Platform can be used on its own, or with help from Intraprise Health’s NIST experts who are experienced cybersecurity specialists. Our Assessors can step in to help when needed – to review assessments and provide recommendations on how your organization can accelerate towards a greater level of maturity. We can be an extension of your security team and provide expertise when needed.
The Intraprise Health Difference:
