What the Results Reveal

  • Scores span 76% down to 48% — 1 of 6 reach a Good (70%+) posture.
  • 1 of 6 scored below 60%, leaving stakeholders exposed to phishing and impersonation.
  • Weak authentication undermines compliance expectations and increases BEC and wire-fraud risk.

Why This Matters in Arizona

Arizona hospital systems must meet the HIPAA Security Rule and document risk analyses. Email and web exposures remain among the most common OCR enforcement drivers.
