Vendor Risk Assessment
Software vendors, startups, and healthcare innovators that are selling to healthcare providers are often required to complete a vendor risk assessment or security questionnaire when partnering with a health provider.

Hospitals and health providers use these questionnaires to vet potential vendors during procurement. Since these questionnaires can be lengthy and technical in nature, it is important that vendors come prepared. This whitepaper provides steps for preparing your team’s security program and answering vendor risk assessments.
