Cyberattacks continue to disrupt operations and care continuity for healthcare provider and payer organizations. Heavy use of third parties and medical devices makes cybersecurity a unique challenge for these organizations, and their security program needs are highly varied—requiring different software solutions, professional services, and internal culture and governance strategies to identify and protect against vulnerabilities. To help organizations in these efforts, this guide shares (1) a framework of cybersecurity software and services and (2) vendor- and firm-reported offerings in the cybersecurity space.
Report Methodology
This guide is based on vendor- and firm-reported claims about their cybersecurity offerings. The guide is intended to share currently available native cybersecurity capabilities; it is not an exhaustive list of all vendors and firms with cybersecurity offerings. 55 vendors and firms responded to a survey and self-reported their capabilities based on their interpretation of the survey. KLAS intends to share customer validations and feedback for these capabilities in the future. The guide also includes vendors and firms mentioned as top of mind for healthcare organizations in KLAS’ Cybersecurity 2025 report. Those currently measured by KLAS are noted.
Cybersecurity Market Overview
Third-Party Risk Management & Infrastructure Cybersecurity Are Top Provider Priorities; Organizations Look to Services Firms to Help Mitigate Resource Constraints
According to KLAS’ Cybersecurity 2025 report, third-party risk management and infrastructure (particularly network security and segmentation) will be the top cybersecurity investment priorities for healthcare organizations over the next one to two years. Infrastructure solutions (particularly cloud and network solutions) are the most common offerings reported by vendors in this guide, demonstrating alignment with healthcare organizations’ priorities. Fewer vendors offer third-party risk management solutions. This area represents an improvement opportunity for healthcare organizations, as noted in the 2025 Healthcare Cybersecurity Benchmarking Study published by KLAS, Censinet, and other partners. High-profile third-party breaches (e.g., the 2024 Change Healthcare breach) have highlighted the potential risks created by the interconnectedness between healthcare organizations, payer organizations, and vendors.
The 2025 Cybersecurity Benchmarking Study also shares that constraints in staffing resources and cybersecurity expertise are healthcare organizations’ main barriers to improving their cybersecurity posture. One way that organizations navigate those constraints is by using managed cybersecurity services. KLAS’ Security & Privacy Consulting/Managed Services 2024 report shows that two-thirds of interviewed organizations are likely to expand their use of managed services in the next one to two years, especially for security operations center (SOC) monitoring and third-party risk management. Among the firms who participated in this guide, the most commonly reported managed services offering is security staff augmentation; SOC monitoring and third-party risk management offerings are less often reported.

Cybersecurity Software Offerings: Vendor-Reported Capabilities
The capabilities charted below are self-reported by software vendors as being live and currently available to their customers. Links to relevant KLAS performance data are included where applicable, though measurement does not mean that KLAS has validated each capability the vendor reports to offer.
Cybersecurity Services Offerings: Firm-Reported Capabilities
The services charted below are self-reported by professional services firms as being live and currently available to their clients. Links to relevant KLAS performance data are included where applicable, though measurement does not mean that KLAS has validated each service the firm reports to offer.

About This Report
This study is designed to give payer and provider organizations a clear picture of what capabilities software vendors and professional services firms offer to meet their cybersecurity needs. Most data in this study comes from vendor- and firm-reported information. 55 vendors and firms responded to the survey for this guide. Some insights from other KLAS research are also included.
In addition to asking participating vendors and firms to report their cybersecurity offerings, KLAS also asked participants the following questions:
- How do you cater specifically to the needs of healthcare security and privacy?
- How is your healthcare cybersecurity offering unique in this space?
