years has been the most widely used set of standards, guidelines and best practices for managing
cybersecurity-related risk.
The key components of the Framework methodology are:
Identify – Pinpoint activities foundational to developing an organizational understanding to manage risk
Protect – Guard the activities that support the ability to develop and implement appropriate safeguards
based on risk
Detect – Enable the timely discovery of a cybersecurity event
Respond – The ability to develop and implement activities to contain the impact of a detected
cybersecurity event
Recover – The ability to develop and implement activities that support the timely recovery of normal
operations after a cybersecurity incident
Get a Head Start on RPM Cybersecurity
This is a great time for CISOs of healthcare organizations to prepare for the cybersecurity
recommendations of the NCCoE RPM project now underway. The first – and most important step – is to
find a company that has extensive experience with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework version 1.1. This
partner can conduct a risk analysis to ensure that the healthcare organization has solutions in place that
are fully aligned with the NIST standards for remote patient monitoring that will soon be finalized.
