Case Study: Major Healthcare Provider reduces risk, improves compliance and protects patients with SecurityScorecard

SecurityScorecard Helps Major Healthcare Provider Reduce Risk, Improve Compliance and Protect Patients

Major Healthcare Provider, a multi‑hospital system serving the upper mid‑west, was relying on third‑party technology but only conducting security reviews at the end of procurement—leading to wasted time, contract delays and potential risks to patient data. To shift security left and enable rigorous vendor due diligence, the organization adopted SecurityScorecard and its Ratings (A–F security ratings) to evaluate prospective and current vendors earlier in the process.

SecurityScorecard delivered continuous A–F ratings, detailed reports and dashboards that the health system uses to negotiate remediation into contracts, monitor legacy applications, and report to the board. As a result, vendors have remediated issues (one vendor’s score improved from D to B), the organization lowered cyber insurance premiums, gained legal protection by documenting vendor negligence after a breach, and improved overall security posture and vendor relationships.
