The SaaS Security Buyer’s Guide for Healthcare

Five Key Considerations and Checklist for Evaluating Your SaaS Security Solution

Healthcare organizations are increasingly reliant on SaaS applications to manage everything from patient data to administrative and operational functions. But SaaS apps introduce unique security challenges. In 2023, data breaches cost organizations an average of $4.45M.¹ If enterprises want to avoid costly breaches, improve operational resilience, and remain compliant with ever-changing regulatory standards, it’s critical that they prioritize SaaS security.

But SaaS security introduces unique challenges that traditional cybersecurity tooling is not equipped to address. To protect their SaaS data, healthcare organizations need a robust SaaS security posture management (SSPM) platform that can address the critical issues of data exposure and breaches, enhance their security frameworks, and protect patient data against the evolving landscape of
digital threats.

This Buyer’s Guide captures the definitive criteria for choosing the right SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) vendor and partner.

In this guide, you will learn:

• How to address the four most common SaaS security challenges facing enterprises today
• Why traditional tooling like CASBs and CSPM platforms leave SaaS apps vulnerable to attacks
• 25 questions you should be asking in your SaaS security assessment
• Criteria for choosing the right platform and provider to accelerate your company’s SaaS security journey

Let’s get you started on a path to a more secure SaaS environment.
