Case Study: Medical Center Hospital achieves standardized vendor access and stronger HIPAA compliance with Imprivata Vendor Privileged Access Management

Medical Center Hospital streamlines 200+ applications with Imprivata

Medical Center Hospital, a major healthcare provider, faced significant challenges managing secure and compliant remote access for over 200 vendor-supported applications. Their small IT staff was burdened by a disorganized mix of connection methods, which created security risks, complicated HIPAA compliance, and hindered time-critical support. They turned to vendor Imprivata and its Vendor Privileged Access Management service to standardize and secure this vendor access.

Imprivata provided a standardized platform that streamlined all vendor connections onto a single, secure system. This solution drastically reduced the administrative burden on the IT staff by minimizing their involvement in managing each access request. The implementation resulted in robust, uniform audit trails for all vendor activity, which ensured compliance with HIPAA requirements. According to the hospital, Imprivata's solution was quickly accepted by their vendors and recognized as a superior method for providing remote support.
