HITRUST Assessment Basics

Trevor Hansen, Security Analyst

“Assess once, report many.” If you’re in the healthcare industry, you’ve no doubt heard about HITRUST; the Health Information Trust Alliance. 

As Trevor Hansen explains to attendees, HITRUST was created to help them reach information risk management and compliance objectives. Although it’s a relatively new certification, HITRUST is already widely accepted in the healthcare industry with 81% of hospitals and health systems and 83% of health plans utilize HITRUST’s certification standard framework (CSF). Trevor explains the differences between HITRUST and HIPAA, whether HITRUST can replace HIPAA, and the reasons why an organization might get HITRUST certified. 

HITRUST is expanding from healthcare to being more applicable to payment card data and personal data protection, and security professionals need to know what it covers and if it may apply to their organizations.
