BRENTWOOD, TN / ACCESS Newswire / February 18, 2026 / Fortified Health Security, five-time consecutive Best in KLAS winner and healthcare's cybersecurity partner, now offers clients a next-gen TPRM solution.

TPRM now with VendorIQ is designed to help healthcare organizations manage third-party vendor risk in a way that drives real risk reduction at scale with greater speed, efficiency, and clarity.

Built to meet the rising demands on limited healthcare cybersecurity resources, TPRM with VendorIQ also offers automated workflows, real-time assessment tracking, and expert-driven risk insights; all managed within Fortified's award-winning Central Command platform.
