HITRUST® Assessments and HITRUST CSF®

Data security is becoming an increasingly important concern for most organizations. The HITRUST CSF® was developed to address the multitude of security, privacy, and regulatory concerns. By including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST CSF® helps organizations address these challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.

The HITRUST CSF® Assurance Program delivers simplified compliance assessment and reporting for HIPAA, HITECH, state, and a broad range of business-associated requirements.

HITRUST CSF ®

The foundation of all HITRUST® programs and services is the HITRUST Framework, which supports assessments that lead to certification that provides organizations with a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient approach to regulatory compliance and risk management.

Developed in collaboration with healthcare and information security professionals, the HITRUST CSF® rationalizes healthcare-relevant regulations and standards into a single overarching security framework. Because the HITRUST CSF® is both risk- and compliance-based, organizations can tailor the security control baselines based on a variety of factors, including organization type, size, systems, and regulatory requirements.

By continuing to improve and update the CSF, the HITRUST CSF® has become the most widely-adopted security framework in the U.S. healthcare industry. This commitment and expertise demonstrated by HITRUST ensures that healthcare organizations leveraging the framework are prepared when new regulations and security risks are introduced.
