HITRUST COMPLIANCE

Phase 1: Building the HITRUST Compliance Foundation

HITRUST certification requires a strong security foundation with clearly defined policies, controls, and risk management strategies. R3ST begins by assessing your organization’s current security posture and developing a tailored compliance roadmap that aligns with the HITRUST CSF.

Key Activities in Phase 1:

• Conduct a HITRUST gap assessment to evaluate current security controls against HITRUST requirements.
• Identify corrective action plans to address deficiencies and strengthen security practices.
• Develop and refine information security policies and procedures to align with HITRUST, HIPAA, NIST, and other regulatory frameworks.
• Establish risk management processes to assess, monitor, and mitigate threats effectively.
• Design a HITRUST readiness roadmap outlining short-term and long-term compliance objectives.

By the end of this phase, your organization will have a well-defined security and compliance strategy, ensuring a solid foundation for HITRUST certification.

Phase 2: Security Controls Implementation & Compliance Readiness

Once the compliance foundation is set, R3ST helps implement and fine-tune security controls to meet HITRUST maturity level expectations. This phase focuses on hands-on security configurations, documentation preparation, and audit readiness.

Key Activities in Phase 2:

• Deploy and configure security technologies required for HITRUST compliance, including:
  • Access Control & Identity Management – Implementing role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • Cloud Security & Encryption – Protecting sensitive data with end-to-end encryption and secure cloud configurations.
  • Endpoint Security & Vulnerability Management – Implementing advanced threat protection and regular security patching.
  • Incident Detection & Response – Setting up security monitoring and logging mechanisms.
• Conduct internal security assessments to verify compliance with HITRUST CSF controls.
• Develop and compile HITRUST evidence documentation to support certification requirements.
• Assist with HITRUST self-assessments or third-party readiness assessments to prepare for certification.

At the completion of this phase, your organization will be fully prepared to undergo a HITRUST validated assessment with confidence.

Phase 3: Achieving Certification & Continuous HITRUST Compliance

HITRUST certification is not a one-time process—it requires ongoing monitoring, audits, and improvements to maintain compliance and security effectiveness. At R3ST, we ensure that your organization not only achieves certification but also sustains compliance as regulations evolve.
