Join us for a conversation exploring a new resource designed to help healthcare organizations better track and manage critical third-party services that support essential workflows
The Health Industry Cybersecurity Sector Mapping and Risk Toolkit (SMART) culminates 16 months of cross-sector collaboration among 80 organizations in patient care; health insurance; labs, pharmaceutical and blood services; medical technology, public health and health IT.
The SMART Toolkit is intended for cybersecurity, supply chain, risk, operational and administrative executives across health industry organizations of all sizes and subsectors, including healthcare providers, insurance, plans and manufacturers. Its recommended practices directly address imperatives for third party risk management in the Health Industry Cybersecurity Strategic Plan 2024-2029 released by the CWG last year.
Larger organizations have dedicated resources to improve the resiliency of their critical functions, but many small-to medium sized organizations lack similar scale and need support with tools appropriate to their size, capability and resource constraints. The SMART Toolkit provides them actionable guidance and methods for managing systemic risks related to their critical functions and dependencies within the health system. It empowers these organizations to demand secure products and high-availability of services from their suppliers, thereby driving improved standards for critical functions across the entire healthcare ecosystem. In situations where customer leverage is insufficient to influence third party security, the SMART tool can help organizations anticipate potential incidents and develop backup and resiliency plans.
