Healthcare suffers more data breaches than any other sector

Healthcare has become a prize target for bad actors. The network of suppliers needed for day-to-day operations can make you highly susceptible to supply-chain attacks. Comprehensive third-party risk management (TPRM) is essential for safeguarding your patient data and preventing disruptions.

Regulatory compliance

Comply with healthcare regulatory obligations

Meet and exceed compliance standards with framework-specific questionnaires and one-click reporting.

  • Industry-standard security frameworks: Assess your vendors (as well as your own org) with UpGuard’s broad library of ready-made questionnaires. Start with a framework aligned to healthcare requirements like HIPAA, or edit a questionnaire for your specific needs.
  • Executive reporting: Communicate your compliance and risk status with automatic reports tailored to healthcare assessors, executives, and stakeholders. Select from a range of pre-built or custom reports that generate in seconds.
Third-party risk management

Mitigate and manage third-party cyber risks

Safeguard your healthcare data (and reputation) by proactively assessing, remediating, and managing third and fourth-party risks.

  • 24/7 risk monitoring: Constantly scan your external attack surface and supply chain for vulnerabilities. Get real-time insights into the security posture of your third (and fourth-party vendors) and start monitoring new vendors instantly.
  • Fast security questionnaires: Automate vendor security questionnaires and track responses in one place, so you can assess healthcare vendors in days, not weeks.
  • Streamlined communication: Increase transparency and reduce double handling with a single, unified platform. UpGuard unites your vendor communications, tracks the actions taken by your team, and consolidates your notes and comments.
Attack surface management

Protect health data and prevent disruptions to care

Prevent breaches of your attack surface and keep patient data and Protected Health Information (PHI) safe.

  • Attack surface monitoring: Monitor your own security posture and risk ratings in real-time. Be notified whenever vulnerabilities occur in your attack surface and easily prioritize remediation based on severity and likelihood of exploitation.
  • Patient data leak detection: Discover leaked credentials before they make the headlines. UpGuard combines in-house manual analysis with surface, deep, and dark web scanning to aggressively detect your stolen credentials.
  • Vendors data leak detection: Protect your patient data from vendor leaks. UpGuard proactively monitors your chosen third-parties for leaks so that you can act early and prevent patient disruptions before they happen.

Before UpGuard, we'd need to sort through multiple spreadsheets to check if we had evaluated a vendor. Now, we can instantly confirm through the UpGuard platform.
