Security & Privacy Consulting Services 2022

25 August 22 | Ciera Walker and Kaleb Harris

Cybersecurity attacks are on the rise, and healthcare organizations are especially at risk. Security vulnerabilities can lead to financial penalties imposed by OCR, damaged organization reputations, and the increased risk of patient safety and data being compromised. To reduce vulnerabilities, organizations often bring in outside consulting firms that specialize in enhancing security and data privacy measures in healthcare. This report examines several such firms (and one cross-industry firm) to determine who effectively assists in reducing risk, engages closely with clients, and exceeds expectations.
