In response to the rising cyber threats targeting healthcare organizations, the Digital Governance Council expands its CyberReady Validation Program to help improve cybersecurity across the sector. This program provides healthcare organizations a thorough and objective review of their cybersecurity strategies against the national standard, CAN/DGSI 118:2023, helping organizations safeguard critical patient data and ensure the continuity of care. 

Healthcare organizations are frequent targets of cyberattacks, ranging from ransomware to data breaches and phishing attempts. These cyber incidents can disrupt operations, compromise patient privacy, and erodes public confidence in the healthcare system. “The healthcare sector faces constant cyber threats that can severely impact patient care and trust,” said Keith Jansa, Chief Executive Officer at the Digital Governance Council. “This program gives healthcare organizations the confidence they need to safeguard patient data and maintain uninterrupted care.” 

As part of the program, healthcare organizations can also choose to benefit from 123 AuditPrepᵀᴹ.  123 AuditPrepᵀᴹ is a simple, time-saving tool that walks organizations through the development of cybersecurity policies and the collection of evidence to support third-party validation. Organizations using 123 AuditPrepᵀᴹ receive a complimentary CyberReady Validation audit. To get started and unlock the benefits, organizations can pre-register here:
