The HITRUST Common Security Framework (HITRUST CSF) rationalizes relevant data protection regulations and standards into a single overarching security and privacy framework. HITRUST CSF is both risk and compliance-based, so organizations of varying profiles can customize the control baselines with various factors in mind, like organization type, size, and overall compliance needs.

HITRUST is an industry-agnostic framework that allows organizations of any size and industry to adopt the HITRUST framework and get certified. Organizations that want to prove compliance with data privacy regulations, such as HIPAA, GDPR, and more, may choose to become HITRUST CSF Certified.

Currently, there are 3 different types of HITRUST assessments that an organization can choose to get certified against:
HITRUST Essentials e1 Assessment: Valid for 1 year
HITRUST Implemented i1 Assessment: Valid for 1 year
HITRUST Risk-Based r2 Assessment: Valid for 2 years

What is the process for an organization to achieve HITRUST Certification? 

Before starting the Certification process, HITRUST recommends a self-assessment or readiness assessment be performed to prepare organizations for the validated assessment. To begin the Certification process, please select a HITRUST Assessor, such as ControlCase. Once you select an Assessor, you will need to purchase a validated assessment from HITRUST. ControlCase will help the customer complete the validated assessment using the MyCSF tool and then an independent ControlCase Assessor will perform the validation/audit work. Once the Assessor work is complete, the Assessor will submit it to HITRUST for review. HITRUST will create a report and, depending on the scores in the report, will issue a letter of certification.
