Centralizing Vendor Risk Assessment Creates Transparency for Providers
The new service also relieves pressure on vendors by creating a mechanism that centralizes their standardized security assessments for view by all Censinet customers, as well as simplified scores to be published by KLAS and viewable at no charge by any provider.
It also reduces the customary overhead of various providers comparing notes with each other, as each one performs their own cycle of security assessments, prompted by annual compliance needs, or reassessments when systems are upgraded. Providers have been doing this via email or calling each other or texting forever, and we re sick of it, Miri says. So there s a lot here that s of value. For UT Austin specifically, we re growing so fast, as a city and what we re doing here to provide medical services, I can t take any risks anymore. I can t just wing it and say, I hope my small army of people catches X, Y, and Z in time.
