"Meeting and even exceeding accepted, objective third-party standards for data security is extremely important to United Imaging," affirmed Richard Albanese, the VP of Operations who led the U.S.-based project team. "While no organization is ever completely immune, as a global company we owe it to ourselves and our customers to be at the forefront of what's recommended, so we will continue to proactively invest in this area."
United Imaging engaged Clearwater initially to perform a Cybersecurity Program Performance Assessment of its manufacturing. Built around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the program performance assessment is a non-technical, administrative evaluation of organizational cybersecurity control expectations, focused on governance practices, policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines. The assessment reviewed the status of individual cybersecurity controls being used by United Imaging by isolating and evaluating control building blocks and their level of adoption across the enterprise.
Based on information provided by United Imaging during the engagement, the Clearwater team rated the organization's cybersecurity operation as very mature and in the top range of performance relative to control expectations.
