HITRUST Compliance Service

What is HITRUST?

HITRUST was established in 2007 as a non-profit organization with the goal of developing and promoting methods to secure sensitive data such as electronically protected health information (ePHI).

HITRUST aims to bridge a gap that some legislation, such as HIPAA, ignore.

HITRUST has grown its services and capabilities over time to help global enterprises manage information risk across all industries and throughout the third-party supply chain – it's still a frequent misconception that HITRUST is solely for healthcare organizations. HITRUST has its roots in HIPAA compliance and has evolved into a highly helpful tool for certifying HIPAA compliance, but in terms of industry coverage, it has extended much beyond its roots.

HIPAA vs. HITRUST: What's the Difference?

By signing a business associate agreement and self-attesting compliance with HIPAA, many organisations that must comply with HIPAA have avoided further questions from depending on entities in the past.

Healthcare providers who use service organizations to support processes were concerned about HIPAA's "take your word for it" attitude.

Large healthcare providers have begun to demand more assurance that service businesses have HIPAA measures in place.

To meet the market demand for increased HIPAA compliance assurance, IT audit firms offer HIPAA compliance gap assessments, HIPAA compliance reports (e.g., AICPA AT-C 315), and finally HITRUST certifications.

Simply simply, HITRUST is a method for a business to demonstrate that it complies with HIPAA regulations.

What is HITRUST Certification and why is it important?

The difficulty of ensuring a secure operational environment has quickly extended across industries.

Recent breaches have demonstrated how supply chain breaches can have far-reaching consequences.

It's worth noting that most recent high-profile assaults might have been avoided if firms had followed solid cyber hygiene standards, such as those mandated by the HITRUST certification process.

The use of strong, advanced authentication procedures, the capacity to identify and prevent the use of weak credentials, and other instances are only a few.

HITRUST overcomes this problem by combining the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) with a Validated Assessment, which results in a formal certification valid for two years if an organisation achieves specific levels of assurance.
