Healthcare organizations often assume their workforce understands cybersecurity risks, but assumption is the enemy of effective risk management. The SANS Security Awareness Maturity Model provides a measurable, evidence-based framework to assess and improve organizational security culture—a critical control that HIPAA, HITRUST, and NIST CSF all recognize as foundational.
The NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) SP 1800-8 guidance provides health systems with a practical, standards-based blueprint for protecting Internet of Medical Things devices through architectural network segmentation and cryptographic controls, directly addressing HIPAA Security Rule requirements and HITRUST CSF domains.
The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision has fundamentally altered the legal landscape for reproductive health data, creating unprecedented privacy risks for healthcare organizations. This post provides actionable mitigation strategies grounded in HIPAA, HITRUST, and NIST frameworks to help CISOs and compliance officers protect sensitive patient information in an increasingly hostile regulatory environment.
Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) are a cornerstone of proactive privacy governance under PHIPA, yet many health systems remain unclear on triggering events and execution standards. This guide clarifies mandatory triggers and provides a practical implementation framework aligned with NIST and HITRUST best practices.
Shadow AI—unauthorized artificial intelligence tools deployed by clinicians and staff—poses unprecedented governance and compliance risks. Learn how CISOs can build visibility, establish policy frameworks, and operationalize AI governance before shadow deployments compromise patient safety and regulatory standing.
Risk-based adaptive authentication bridges the security-usability gap in healthcare by applying NIST Zero Trust principles without disrupting clinical workflows. Learn how to implement context-aware MFA that strengthens security posture while protecting clinician productivity.
