Health and Life Sciences Security Readiness Program

May 31, 2017

Breaches and ransomware have reached alarming levels of impact, disruption, and frequency in health and life sciences organizations worldwide. These security incidents tend to affect organizations that are lagging in security, and relatively vulnerable. The Health and Life Sciences Security Readiness Program enables organizations to benchmark their security against the health and life sciences industry, and peer organizations of a similar locale, focus and size. This enables them to see if they are lagging, on par, or ahead of the industry and peers in security, and if they are lagging and relatively vulnerable specifically which security capabilities are they lacking that their peers have. This benchmark includes security maturity, priorities readiness across 8 of the most common types of breaches, and capabilities across 42 key security capabilities. This engagement involves a 1 hour, complementary, confidential workshop. Reports also show participants how their capabilities or gaps relate to HIPAA, NIST, PCI DSS, CIS, GDPR, ISO2700x, ISO80001, and EU MDR 2017/745 regulations, data protection laws, and security standards. Now with over 117 health and life sciences organizations participating in this program across 9 countries, and over 40 industry partners working to scale it worldwide, we invite you to see where your health and life sciences organization stands in security relative to peers and the industry. Any organization that works with sensitive patient information is eligible to participate, including Business Associates and Data Processors. See Intel.com/SecurityReadiness for further details on this program, a sample report, and how to engage.
