Get started on your path towards HITRUST compliance
A HITRUST Certification helps you adopt globally accepted compliance mandates to protect sensitive data. A HITRUST Certification gives your organization a strong data security foundation by helping you remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Customers can have increased confidence in your commitment to keeping their data secure.
Navigating a HITRUST CSF Assessment can be daunting. We help you identify gaps in your compliance while also giving you the remediation advice you need. Using years of assessment experience in PCI, HIPAA, penetration testing, and forensic investigations, SecurityMetrics helps you prioritize and address your vulnerabilities.
SecurityMetrics make the HITRUST process simple by breaking steps into actionable pieces, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. An assigned project coordinator works with you and SecurityMetrics assessors, keeping everyone involved organized and on track. The HITRUST process can be complex, SecurityMetrics is committed to helping you reach your important deadlines.
The HITRUST Process includes six steps: defining your scope, determining next steps, choosing your HITRUST validation type, your gap assessment and remediation, final HITRUST CFS assessment, and your HITRUST interim assessment. Check out this data sheet and checklist that describe the HITRUST Certification process.
Being HITRUST CSF certified can assist you in your HIPAA compliance efforts because some of the requirements overlap.
Not necessarily. Because a HITRUST CSF can help you meet other frameworks such as a HIPAA risk assessment or a NIST cybersecurity assessment, or other assessments, you could save money by becoming HITRUST certified.
Depending on your initial readiness, the amount of time needed for remediation, and the size/complexity of your organization, your HITRUST assessment can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks on average for the assessment and a minimum of 8 weeks for your assessment to be processed and certification awarded.
This means it typically takes 3-4 months to complete your HITRUST assessment, remediation, and receive certification.
"We depend on the assessors to make sure that we stay on the compliance track. They do it with developing relationships across campus, discussing upcoming projects or application changes, and being available to us for consulting. They are knowledgeable, helpful and help us keep the campus engaged by their friendly demeanors."
