Healthcare cyber risk management and compliance solutions vendor Clearwater Compliance was awarded the top spot in the Cybersecurity Advisory Services category of the “2018 Best in KLAS Awards: Software and Services” report.

Clearwater scored an overall 95.5, up 4 percent from last year, landing top marks in the four scoring categories: general, implementation and training, sales and contracting, and service and support.

CynergisTek landed in second place with a score of 92.5, down 1 percent from last year. And Deloitte Consulting followed in third place with a score of 92.2, up 1 percent from last year. PwC fell 3 percent with a score of 87.9 and Santa Rosa Consulting scored 87.7, up 1 percent.

To Clearwater CEO Bob Chaput, the top KLAS ranking reflects the company’s performance “and commitment to patient safety and managing cyber risk to improve access to care, timely care and quality care.”

“Our team’s purpose-driven approach to assisting our customers is the key to accelerating healthcare cyber risk management strategies and deepening their impact on the lives of their patients and organizations,” said Chaput.

Clearwater is exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association. In May 2017, the Georgia Hospital Association tapped the firm to bolster its cybersecurity.
