At CORL, we firmly believe vendor risk assessments are not the way of the future and are working towards a bold vision for the future of TPRM—one that centers on key risk indicators over individual controls. CORL Cleared identified its key risk indicators based on the cybersecurity efforts providers value, including widely respected assurances. CORL Cleared rewards the efforts vendors are taking to improve risk posture, and harnesses proof of these efforts to bypass lengthy assessments altogether. Our provider clients who engage with CORL Cleared vendors agree that this approach is even more impactful than the assessment and have chosen to accept CORL Cleared status as a signal of contract readiness. Because this approach has the power to accelerate a vendor’s sales and enhance their attractiveness to providers and other healthcare organizations, many vendors have chosen to proactively pursue CORL Cleared status.
