Clearwater Launches New Enterprise Cyber Risk Management Solution to Help Healthcare Organizations Reduce Cyber Risk, Strengthen Compliance, and Drive Boardroom Confidence

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwater, the largest pure-play provider of cybersecurity and compliance solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced the launch of its new Enterprise Cyber Risk Management (ECRM) solution. Designed to help healthcare organizations see and manage cyber risk with greater clarity, ECRM integrates Clearwater's industry-leading OCR-Quality® Risk Analysis with a comprehensive NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 Maturity Assessment—delivered through a single, expert-led engagement.

With ransomware attacks rising, regulatory scrutiny increasing, and cybersecurity frameworks multiplying, healthcare leaders face unprecedented complexity in understanding where risk truly lives.

"Conducting a thorough HIPAA-compliant risk analysis (and developing and implementing risk management measures to address any identified risks and vulnerabilities) is even more necessary as sophisticated cyberattacks increase,"

-Office for Civil Rights Director Paula M. Stannard in a July 23 announcement of OCR's latest ransomware enforcement action.

Clearwater's ECRM solution cuts through the noise, delivering actionable insight and a defensible roadmap that aligns with the HIPAA Security Rule's Risk Analysis requirement, 405(d) HICP, the HHS Cybersecurity Performance Goals, and NIST CSF 2.0.

"Healthcare organizations are investing in cybersecurity—but many still lack a clear view of what matters most and where to focus," said Clearwater CEO Steve Cagle. "Our new ECRM solution empowers leaders with comprehensive visibility into their risk landscape while also mapping to multiple frameworks. The solution is backed by proven methodology, deep healthcare expertise, and the industry's most advanced healthcare specific risk management platform."
