Build a Third-Party Risk Program That Prevents Disruption

Third-party issues are preventable with the right setup. A third party risk management program replaces scattered emails and spreadsheets with a centralized place for data, documents, and actions. With defined steps and a central point of control for review, approval, and distribution, work moves on time and creates audit-ready evidence. Key dates tie to alerts. This way, nothing critical gets missed. The Third Party Risk ...

What Are the Benefits of HIPAA Software?

To keep patient data out of the wrong hands, HIPAA software helps you reduce small mistakes that can lead to major breaches. Just one misaddressed email can expose protected health information and put a healthcare organization at risk. Patient data is highly valuable to hackers because it contains information that’s often permanent, such as blood type, medical history, and health records. One healthcare record can ...

Horizon Scanning Risk Management Explained: Detect Emerging Risks Before They Disrupt

The biggest risks to an organization rarely appear overnight. They build slowly, with early signs scattered across media, regulatory drafts, industry chatter, and market data. By the time those signals reach headlines, it’s already too late — fines are issued, supply chains are disrupted, reputations are damaged. Horizon Scanning Risk Management is the discipline of spotting these early signals of change. With AI, it becomes ...

How to Build a Speak-Up Culture with a Whistleblower Hotline That Actually Works

Every organization faces ethical risks — from fraud and corruption to harassment and conflicts of interest. A whistleblower hotline is one of the most effective tools to catch problems early, but here’s the hard truth: a phone number or portal on its own won’t fix your culture. If employees fear retaliation, they won’t use the hotline. And if managers downplay reports, compliance collapses. To turn a hotline ...

During the 2024 fiscal year, settlements and judgments tied to the False Claims Act hit nearly $3 billion.
