HITRUST Assurance
HITRUST-certified assessors help you navigate HITRUST requirements and provide guidance on how to streamline your security and compliance efforts.
Transparent, Actionable Recommendations
We know the complexities of day-to-day IT and security operations. We’ll never deliver a standard auditor guide or playbook response—we ensure you fully understand and can execute against your personalized recommendations.
HITRUST standards continuously update—but they don’t have to overwhelm your resources.
Our HITRUST-certified assessors perform interviews and examine your organization’s environment and data flow between in-scope systems. They identify control gaps and provide recommendations for remediation. If your company needs policies and procedures created, we can design and document those appropriately. We can also assist with risk assessment, incident response, disaster recovery, and more.
HITRUST Assurance Program Consulting:
HITRUST Basic, Current-state (bC) Assessment Guidance
Our expertise will save you time and optimize your self-assessment outcome as it is validated by the HITRUST Assurance Intelligence Engine to identify errors and omissions. Our engagement will educate and provide insight so organizations that are new to the HITRUST framework can complete a self-assessment. Along the way, we help you understand any immediate gaps and the actions needed if you were to move forward with a HITRUST Certified Assessment.
HITRUST Implemented, 1-Year (i1) Validated Assessment
Designed for healthcare-covered entities and business associates that need moderate assurance, this 1-year certification focuses on a list of controls designated and updated yearly by HITRUST. Implemented maturity is tested by these controls. Our assessors will review, validate and submit the assessment to HITRUST for approval.
HITRUST Risk-Based, 2-Year (r2) Validated Assessment
Assessments performed against HITRUST CSF look at the various in-scope controls and their maturity scores for Policy, Procedure, Implemented, Measured, and Managed categories. Validated assessments can lead to HITRUST certifications based on achieving an appropriate overall assessment score. Our assessors are health IT and security experts who can help you identify the actions needed to ensure a high maturity rating and achievement of HITRUST CSF r2 Certification.
It is recommended that new customers have a Pre-Assessment engagement to uncover any deficiencies or necessary improvements prior to a full HITRUST r2 Assessment.
HITRUST Interim Assessment
As required by HITRUST for 2-Year validated assessments, an interim assessment must be completed at the 1-year mark from certification. The interim assessment determines if the controls in place are still effective as well as evaluates progress against any Corrective Action Plans that were created during the initial validation process.
