A recent report by Clearwater Security identifies significant gaps in cybersecurity preparedness among private equity-backed healthcare companies. These organizations often have inadequate governance and lack consistent cybersecurity policies, a concern heightened by their rapid growth. The report, which uses the HHS 405(d) Cybersecurity Practices framework for evaluation, reveals that technical controls frequently outstrip formal documentation, leading to governance deficiencies. Clearwater advises private equity firms to assess the cybersecurity risk profiles of potential acquisitions, as weak cybersecurity can devalue a company and result in regulatory consequences. Additionally, many healthcare organizations lack effective incident response plans, further exposing them to risks.
