The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto experienced a cybersecurity incident involving third-party software that resulted in unauthorized access to personal data of current and former employees and job applicants. Clinical systems and patient data were not compromised, and affected individuals are being offered credit monitoring.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must tighten controls around third-party software as your data is only as secure as your weakest vendor. This incident opens a door for compliance-driven healthcare startups to offer more secure HR and applicant management solutions.
