Researchers surveyed healthcare executives who were responsible for secure third-party content communications. Here’s what they found:
- About 47 percent of healthcare respondents said that 100 percent of their sensitive content email communications with third parties were encrypted.
- Thirty-seven percent of respondents said that they had implemented controls to measure third-party risk.
- Sixty-percent said that their organization’s third-party risk management and compliance strategies needed improvement.
As the threat landscape evolves, organizations should prioritize third-party risk management and implement holistic security controls to protect all endpoints, according to the survey.
