BOSTON, MA, USA, October 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Marshfield Clinic Health System, one of the country’s largest rural health care systems, and Censinet, the leading provider of healthcare vendor risk management solutions, announced today that it has partnered to strengthen Marshfield Clinic’s management of third-party and enterprise risk. With Censinet RiskOps™, a purpose-built third-party and enterprise risk exchange for healthcare, Marshfield can securely centralize and automate all of its vendor and product risk assessment data and insight while driving significant improvements in visibility, productivity, accuracy, and costs throughout the risk assessment, reassessment, and remediation lifecycle.
“Recent ransomware attacks on critical healthcare suppliers have been a wakeup call for the industry, driving the importance for cyber resiliency of our vendors and third-party products,” said Greg Garneau, Chief Information Security Officer at Marshfield Clinic Health System. “After evaluating many different risk solutions, we chose Censinet for its ability to solve significant pain for us across the third-party risk management process, ensuring we maximize the protection of patient safety and care delivery.”
Censinet RiskOps™ enables immediate access to the most up-to-date security information, documentation, and evidence for over 9,000 vendors and 22,000 products in our digital catalog.
