As the volume of electronic medical data has grown, so has the number of third-party custodians who handle it. Organizations increasingly rely on third parties for infrastructure, managed applications and data management. Navigating the changing rules governing these third parties
has become more complex. The risk of these relationships is significant: Third parties are responsible for almost half of all data breaches. Compounding these challenges are new federal requirements for managing electronic protected health information. Important changes that take effect Sept. 23, 2013 in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Omnibus Rule broaden the definition of a business associate, set new limits on how data may be used, redefine what constitutes a breach and establish new civil penalties for violations. Failing to properly assess risks inherent in these relationships and inadequately implementing monitoring controls to address the risk of third-party relationships can be costly in terms of potential penalties and damage to an organization’s reputation.

1. The document discusses how small businesses can have difficulties obtaining loans from traditional lenders due to having little credit history. It suggests that using alternative data sources in lending models could help assess risk for these businesses.
2. Two new alternative data approaches are described: alternative lending models that use alternative lending data to build predictive models, and social media scores that analyze social media data about businesses.
3. The models showed improved approval rates and reduced bad rates compared to traditional credit scoring. Around half of businesses analyzed had their risk assessment significantly impacted by social media data.
Experian Commercial Data Sciences analyzed 3.1 million commercial entities from June 2016 to June 2018. We focused our research on approximately 2.8 million of those entities with either a male-owned or a female-owned designation.
Women are capitalizing on the economy by opening businesses at a record pace. According to a 2018 study, an average of 1,821 women-owned businesses were launched daily.* Women-owned businesses are an essential part of the economy and the communities they serve.
Because women-owned businesses are a significant portion of the overall small-business sector, they have quickly become a vital source of job growth. Businesses owned by women provide job opportunities for millions of professionals. Additionally, these businesses have a high growth potential to expand, which increases job opportunities and positively contributes to the economy.
Across all industries, women-owned businesses have shown success in terms of revenue and longevity. When Experian studied women-owned businesses, however, we found significant differences in how women-owned and male-owned businesses approach expansion. The impact of how women manage credit compared with men can affect the business’s success and eventually the economy.
