“We’re honored to recognize first-time KLAS / Censinet Cybersecurity Transparent winners and those organizations committed to sustaining their designation year after year,” said Ed Gaudet, CEO and Founder of Censinet.

“Rapid market adoption of the Cybersecurity Transparent designation continues to reflect the critical importance of cyber maturity in the evaluation, implementation, and use of software and services across the healthcare ecosystem.”

In November 2022, KLAS, Censinet, and the American Hospital Association (AHA) announced plans to conduct “The Healthcare Cybersecurity Benchmarking Study.” The efforts were aimed at assessing cyber maturity and helping organizations measure their cybersecurity programs against key frameworks, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP).

As healthcare organizations and their third-party business associates continue to face increased cyber threats, it is imperative that organizations are able to obtain assurances from vendors about the security of their products and services.

“We are proud to recognize KLAS / Censinet Cybersecurity Transparent vendors at ViVE for a second year in a row,” said Adam Gale, Chief Executive Officer at KLAS Research.

“With ransomware now an ever-present threat, Best in KLAS® means a vendor’s products and services must ensure safe and secure delivery of care across the health system – and we salute these Cybersecurity Transparent organizations dedicated to that very effort.”
