Overview
In our latest In the Spotlight podcast, Gerry Blass speaks with HASC’s Adam Blackstone about governance, risk and compliance (GRC) in health care. With decades of experience in information technology, Blass shares how privacy and security risks have spiraled over time.
From the first well-known health care data breach, when Arthur Ashe’s health status was leaked to media in 1992, to last year’s Change Healthcare ransomware attack, the discussion shows how GRC technology has raced to stay on top of the rising threats. And with the average data breach costing $9.8 million, the stakes have never been higher.
