In The Spotlight: Gerry Blass of ComplyAssistant
Arthur Ashe, Change Healthcare and the Evolution of Risk and GRC Tech
In our latest In the Spotlight edition, Gerry Blass speaks with HASC’s Adam Blackstone about governance, risk and compliance (GRC) in health care. With decades of experience in information technology, Blass shares how privacy and security risks have spiraled over time. From the first well-known health care data breach, when Arthur Ashe’s health status was leaked to media in 1992, to last year’s Change Healthcare ransomware attack, the discussion shows how GRC technology has constantly raced to stay on top of the rising threats. And with the average data breach costing $9.8 million, the stakes have never been higher.
Blass is president and CEO of ComplyAssistant, a HASC Endorsed Business Partner. The firm began in 2002 as a security consultancy managing HIPAA compliance in health care. Evolving to meet the ever-increasing risks, ComplyAssistant is now a nimble GRC software and health care cybersecurity company on the leading edge of technology and customer service.
