Censinet Unveils AI-Powered GRC Platform and Systemic Risk Tools at ViVE 2026

The announcements coincide with the release of findings from the 2026 Healthcare Cybersecurity Benchmarking Study, highlighting gaps in AI adoption and governance across healthcare enterprises.

Censinet, a leading provider of healthcare risk management solutions, unveiled new AI-driven governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) capabilities at ViVE 2026, including Censinet GRC AI™ and systemic risk tools operationalizing the Health Sector Coordinating Council’s (HSCC) SMART framework.

The announcements coincide with the release of findings from the 2026 Healthcare Cybersecurity Benchmarking Study, highlighting gaps in AI adoption and governance across healthcare enterprises.

The 2026 Benchmarking Study, developed in partnership with the American Hospital Association, Health-ISAC, HSCC, The Scottsdale Institute, and The University of Texas at Austin, analyzed cybersecurity maturity, AI governance readiness, shadow AI, and agentic AI adoption. Results reveal that while 70% of healthcare organizations have AI governance committees, only 30% maintain an enterprise-wide AI inventory, and 33% lack mechanisms to detect embedded AI in approved vendor products. At the same time, 64% of organizations are experimenting with or deploying agentic AI, underscoring a widening AI governance gap.

At ViVE 2026, Censinet also introduced its first platform to operationalize the HSCC SMART framework within Censinet RiskOps™. Features include HSCC Critical Function Mapping, rapid inherent risk scoring using a FICO-style scale, concentration risk visibility, and network-powered intelligence drawn from a risk exchange comprising more than 200 healthcare organizations and 55,000 vendors.

Censinet GRC AI™ is designed to unify governance, risk, and compliance across the healthcare enterprise through seven specialized AI agents covering areas such as supply chain and vendor risk, cybersecurity and data governance, regulatory compliance, clinical safety, financial integrity, and ESG initiatives. The platform is accompanied by three generally available products: Assessor Agent for third-party risk assessments, AI Telemetry for real-time AI detection in vendor portfolios, and a Privacy Assessment tool to streamline security and privacy processes.

Ed Gaudet, CEO and Founder of Censinet, said, “This year’s announcements represent the most significant expansion of the Censinet platform since our founding. We are delivering intelligence and automation products that healthcare leaders need to close the gap between AI ambition and AI governance.”

Censinet executives and customers will demonstrate these capabilities at Booth #920 in South Hall through February 25, with live presentations of the Benchmarking Study findings scheduled for February 24, 1:35–1:55 PM PST at the Data Innovation Theatre C.
