WARREN, N.J., Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Prevalent,
Inc., the leader in Third-Party Risk Management and Vendor Threat
Intelligence and Churchill & Harriman, the recognized leader in
enterprise risk management and third-party risk assessments, today
jointly announced that NH-ISAC has chosen the purpose-built
Prevalent Synapse™ platform and Churchill & Harriman's risk
assessment services for the third-party risk management element of
its mission to protect the nation's critical healthcare
infrastructure from physical and cyber threats.
"Third-party risk is a valid concern for any organization in the
healthcare ecosystem," said Denise
Anderson, NH-ISAC President. "We are excited to be working
with Prevalent and Churchill and Harriman to leverage the NH-ISAC
community and offer risk assessment services via CYBERFIT that are
both efficient and affordable."
Prevalent's Synapse platform is purpose-built to minimize the
burden of controls, information collection and distribution among
members of vertical networks, delivering built-in workflows,
network moderator functionality, and questionnaire and risk-scoring
flexibility - all in a secure SaaS environment. Prevalent is
bringing the experience built in its Legal, Higher Education, Asset
Management, and Mortgage industry networks to NH-ISAC's CYBERFIT
vendor network, leveraging not only its next generation platform
developed on the foundation of that experience base, but also the
network management experience unique to Prevalent.
"There's no substitute for experience," added Michael Wagner, Sr. Director of Johnson &
Johnson and a member of the NH-ISAC Board of Directors. "While
organizations have tried, none have delivered a vendor risk,
evidence-sharing network for healthcare and the platform to run
it. Prevalent is doing it today in multiple verticals."
"The security of our health system and the criticality of the
data at risk makes what we are doing extremely important,"
continued Jonathan Dambrot,
Prevalent CEO & Co-Founder. "It is an honor to be selected to
participate in this groundbreaking effort with such prestigious
partners. Working in conjunction with CYBERFIT and the
NH-ISAC, we are creating a new model to reduce risk, reduce cost,
and ensure members have the information they need to maintain
security and compliance in our ever-interconnected
environment."
In addition to Prevalent's next generation platform, CyberFit is
also leveraging the expertise brought by the recognized Third-Party
Risk Management leader Churchill & Harriman (C&H), who will
contribute evidence analysis, vendor interaction, and evidence
validation in the CYBERFIT network.
"The healthcare industry depends on C&H for thorough and
complete third party risk assessments. With our focus on
third-party risk management services, we have a unique perspective
on the industry and the tools available from virtually all the
software vendors," observed Ken
Peterson, CEO and founder of C&H. "Prevalent is clearly
the leader in network platform technology, delivering a proven
product, validated by actual users."
