Third-Party Risk Management Built for Healthcare
Automated business associate assessments, PHI flow tracking, and HIPAA compliance across your entire vendor ecosystem.
Why Healthcare Organizations Need Autonomous TPRM
Healthcare providers manage hundreds of business associates handling protected health information across EHRs, medical devices, billing systems, and cloud services. HIPAA demands documented due diligence before BAA execution, continuous monitoring throughout relationships, and breach notification coordination when incidents occur.
ComplyScore® delivers:
Automated business associate assessments with PHI flow tracking
Continuous HIPAA compliance monitoring across vendor ecosystems
Breach coordination workflows with complete audit trails
TPRM Challenges Facing Healthcare Organizations
Business associate complexity and volume
Hospitals and health systems manage hundreds of business associates with varying PHI access levels, making manual assessment programs unsustainable.
PHI flow visibility across vendor chains
Understanding which sub-contractors access PHI and whether equivalent safeguards apply creates blind spots in traditional TPRM approaches.
HIPAA Security Rule compliance documentation
OCR audits expect complete records of business associate due diligence, BAA management, safeguard monitoring, and breach response coordination.
Medical device and IoT vendor risk
Connected medical devices from multiple manufacturers create cybersecurity vulnerabilities requiring specialized security assessments beyond standard questionnaires.
Telehealth and digital health partnerships
Rapid adoption of virtual care platforms requires fast vendor onboarding while maintaining thorough HIPAA compliance validation.
How ComplyScore® Addresses Third-Party Risks in Healthcare organizations
Comprehensive Business Associate Management
ComplyScore® maintains centralized inventory of all business associates with PHI access including cloud providers, billing services, transcription vendors, legal firms, and consultants. Automated assessments validate HIPAA Security Rule safeguards across administrative, physical, and technical domains. The platform tracks Business Associate Agreements, renewal dates, and compliance obligations with automated alerts when BAAs expire or business associates experience security incidents.
PHI Flow Tracking Throughout Vendor Chains
When business associates engage sub-contractors with PHI access, ComplyScore® triggers assessments evaluating whether written agreements and equivalent HIPAA safeguards apply. Executive dashboards visualize PHI flows across your vendor ecosystem showing which business associates share data with sub-contractors and whether appropriate protections exist. This visibility satisfies HIPAA Security Rule 164.308(b)(4) requirements for sub-contractor oversight.
OCR Audit-Ready Documentation
Every business associate assessment includes complete audit trails with timestamps, safeguard validation evidence, BAA documentation, and approval workflows. When OCR requests business associate compliance records, ComplyScore® generates comprehensive reports showing due diligence methodology, ongoing monitoring activities, remediation tracking, and breach response coordination. Pre-mapped evidence libraries align documentation to specific HIPAA Security Rule requirements.
Medical Device Vendor Security
Specialized questionnaires assess medical device manufacturer cybersecurity practices including vulnerability management, patch deployment, device access controls, and incident response capabilities. Continuous monitoring tracks device manufacturer security incidents, FDA recalls, and vulnerability disclosures. When device vulnerabilities emerge, alert workflows route findings to biomedical engineering teams and risk committees with SLA tracking ensuring timely response.
