H-ISAC Supports the Principles for Fair and Accurate Security Ratings
Kennedy Space Center, FL, June 19, 2017 – The Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center, (H-ISAC), a member-owned non-profit that is the health and public health (HPH) sector’s trusted community for sharing cyber and physical security information, supports the recently published Principles for Fair and Accurate Security Ratings.
Today the Chamber of Commerce and over 40 organizations published six general principles that will promote fairness in reporting and enhance the value of security ratings across all industries. The six principles are: Transparency; Dispute, Correction and Appeal; Accuracy and Validation; Model Governance; Independence and Confidentiality.
“Security professionals have an increasing array of 3rd party continuous security monitoring providers and tools to choose from. These tools leverage a combination of publicly available information and other sources to qualitatively assess and report risk and vulnerability levels on a relative basis,” said Jim Routh, Chairman of the Board of H-ISAC, “H-ISAC believes it is time for the industry to apply specific principles to these types of services to enhance their transparency and their relevance. Applied properly, these principles will also improve the underlying value of these services to the health care community.”
