Closing healthcare risk visibility gaps
Healthcare leaders are confident in their threat detection ability, yet visibility gaps can slow response. Grant Thornton’s Cyber & Risk Survey Report shows how healthcare leaders can protect patient care services and systems by improving their visibility into risk dependencies across applications, vendors, data and operating owners.
Delayed incident detection was identified as a leading consequence of insufficient risk management integration by 69% of the 103 healthcare industry leaders responding to the survey. See how risk management integration and governance can help protect critical care services.

What’s in the report?
- Reducing risk management fragmentation: Although healthcare organizations have strong risk management foundations, the disconnection between them threatens to disrupt operations. Controls in healthcare vary significantly from those in other organizations, but connectivity and visibility must be prioritized.
- Responding to incidents: Healthcare leaders are more confident than those in other industries in their ability to detect cyber and privacy threats. But the real test in healthcare is the effectiveness of incident response when patient safety is at stake.
- Creating strong visibility: Separate data and accountabilities in different risk management silos limit risk leaders’ visibility into threats. Strengthening risk management maturity requires a coordinated approach.
- Governing AI adoption: AI deployment is limited at healthcare organizations, even though AI has the potential to significantly improve patient care. Successful adoption requires a thorough understanding of where AI will operate, the risks it poses and how sensitive data will be protected.
