HITRUST

Overview

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) is a comprehensive security framework used by healthcare organizations and their business associates to effectively and efficiently approach regulatory compliance and risk management needs. HITRUST unifies recognized standards and regulatory requirements from NIST, HIPAA/HITECH, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FTC, COBIT, CSA Cloud Controls, and various state specific regulations. HITRUST CSF normalizes compliance requirements and provides clarity and consistency lacking in many standards and regulations making it the most widely-adopted IT security framework in the U.S. healthcare industry.

Obtaining a HITRUST Certification will demonstrate that your company is in compliance with the required safeguards in place to protect ePHI data. It will assist your company by:

• Providing a competitive advantage and demonstrating that your company has implemented the necessary controls to safeguard sensitive ePHI and mitigated the risks of it being compromised.
• Satisfying the requirements of many health organizations that their Business Associates are in compliance with the HITRUST CSF.
• Implementing a security framework that incorporates a variety of standards and regulatory requirements including those specific to the healthcare industry.
