Security Score

Your security score is one number that shows how well protected your practice is right now. It brings together findings from across Safeguard and shows exactly what is helping and what is holding you back.

The security score is part of the Safeguard™ platform.

01

How it works

  • One score you can understand at a glance.
  • The top items pulling it down, ranked by impact.
  • Progress over time, so you can see the work paying off.
  • Views by location for groups and DSOs with multiple offices.

02

Proof for insurers and partners

Cyber insurance applications, DSO due diligence and health system partners all ask the same question: how secure are you? A score backed by scans, inventory and documentation is a much stronger answer than a checkbox.

HIPAA

The HIPAA rules it helps you meet

  • Risk management (45 CFR 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(B)): reduce risks to a reasonable and appropriate level.
  • Evaluation (164.308(a)(8)): periodically evaluate how well your safeguards work.

A score does not replace your annual HIPAA risk assessment, but it keeps you on track between assessments.
