KLAS and Censinet Announce Partnership Momentum and Strategic Plan to Help Modernize Cybersecurity in Healthcare

KLAS, a healthcare research and insights firm, and Censinet, the leading provider of healthcare IT risk solutions, announced a significant advancement in its joint mission to improve cybersecurity preparedness in healthcare. This new initiative builds upon the recent Presidential Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity and the partnership between the companies last year to help healthcare IT vendors and services firms improve their overall risk and security profile by driving greater trust and transparency to thousands of healthcare providers.

“President Biden’s executive order calls on the private sector to ‘ensure its products are built and operate securely.’ This executive order highlights the urgent need to fortify all healthcare technology and processes against attack,” says Adam Gale, President of KLAS. “The newly announced KLAS and Censinet ‘Cybersecurity Transparency’ designation recognizes those 26 trailblazing vendors and firms who were willing to stand up and show the market that they have prepared themselves to be secure partners to their customers.”

“The KLAS and Censinet partnership makes a significant contribution toward modernizing cybersecurity in healthcare by improving information sharing between healthcare sector organizations on cyber issues and standardizing on best practices for quickly remediating incidents as they occur,” stated Ed Gaudet, CEO and Founder of Censinet. “The recent attacks on healthcare and our nation’s infrastructure remind us that cybersecurity requires transparency and collaboration – going it alone is no longer a valid strategy.”

For vendors, “Cybersecurity Transparent” demonstrates a willingness to share and continually improve their risk posture and overall cybersecurity maturity. This program is offered to vendors free of charge. Healthcare provider and payer organizations can expect an extraordinary level of commitment and partnership from participating vendors to improve patient care safely and securely.
