Their ClearAdvantage program provides us with ongoing access to a deep team of cybersecurity and compliance experts that know the healthcare industry inside out, software that is purpose-built to help us manage cyber and compliance risk, and a dedicated program leader to bring it all together in alignment with our business objectives.”
