Introducing CORL’s Core 4 Compliance Checklist: A Smarter Path to Healthcare Vendor Compliance 

By CORL Technologies | April 17, 2025

In today’s healthcare ecosystem, vendors play a critical role in the delivery of services and the protection of sensitive data. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and rising expectations from healthcare organizations, vendors must demonstrate a strong, proactive security posture. That’s why CORL Technologies is proud to introduce the Core 4 Compliance Checklist — a streamlined, strategic solution designed to help healthcare vendors achieve essential compliance and security benchmarks with clarity and confidence. 

What Is the Core 4 Compliance Checklist? 

CORL’s Core 4 offering delivers four foundational services every healthcare vendor should have in place to meet industry expectations and regulatory requirements. This checklist ensures you’re not only compliant but positioned for long-term trust and growth in the healthcare market. 

The Core 4 Compliance Services:

1. HIPAA Security Risk Assessment (SRA) 
   Get a comprehensive evaluation of your security controls and vulnerabilities to ensure alignment with HIPAA standards. This is a critical first step in demonstrating due diligence and avoiding costly compliance violations. 

2. Penetration Test 
   Simulate real-world cyberattacks to uncover and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities in your systems — before malicious actors can. This test strengthens your technical defenses and enhances your credibility with clients. 

3. Questionnaire Automation & Managed Services 
   Tired of answering the same security questionnaires over and over? CORL’s automation platform and managed services team streamline the assessment process, reduce administrative burden, and improve accuracy. 

4. Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) 
   Whether you’re assessing your own vendors or being evaluated by others, CORL helps you stay ahead of risks with continuous monitoring and professional support to ensure a robust TPRM strategy.

That means we have direct visibility into the security standards, documentation gaps, and delays that vendors experience firsthand. 

We know: 

• What slows down the security review process 

• Where vendors typically fall short on compliance
